I am 15 and just got into year 11 at school. I have always been curious about finding new and improved menstrual products so went out to buy a mooncup after reading such good reviews. On the day of purchase I attempted to insert it using both folds and found myself giving up. I was sure that it would never work for me so I emailed the Mooncup FAQ email and immediately got a response. From then on I could gradually insert more and finally it was in! Today I am on the second day of my first period with the mooncup and it is really good. My favourite part is that I can sleep in it. I am still finding removal a bit difficult because the suction is very strong but I'm sure it will come to me. I wish my mum had known about mooncup because she has really heavy periods and only uses sanitary towels but she is 51 and they will stop soon. I would also love to tell my friends but they would probably think it's disgusting to put a cup in your vagina. Maybe in the future. I also love the fact that I don't need to carry around any tampons so when boys look through your bag there is no embarrassment. Thank you Mooncup. P.S; sorry it's soo long.

I bought a mooncup about 3 years ago, but initially found it a bit fiddly, so stopped using it. More recently I decided to give it another try. I am now completely converted - I found it took a while to get used to inserting it so it couldn't be felt, but it really is worth perservering. I feel less pain and also it doesn't make you feel dry like tampons do, and there is less mess and no smell. I like the environmental advantages of it too. Long term it will save me loads of money. The biggest benefit for me thought was to realise how much blood I was losing each month - I had no idea as it is hard to judge with tampons and towels. I mentioned it to my GP who ran some blood tests - turned out I was low in iron which helped to explain why I had felt really rough for many months despite eating very well. I'm now on iron supplements and feeling much better, so my mooncup has helped my health (and the environment) in more ways than I imagined - THANK YOU.
