I just stopped the Depo shot and after not having a period for about 5+ years and started having my period again, I dug out my remaing stock of girly supplies. Hate tampons, panty liners, all of it (and not to mention how stinky things get in the summer months). So I decided to look online for an alternative. Found the MCUK and can't be more excited. And what are the odds that the day my next period started my MCUK arrived in the mail! I immediately cut the stem off, folded, and insterted the cup, first try no problems, first removal no problems. If you are comfortable with your own body, PLEASE GET A MCUK , you will NEVER go back to uncomfortable drying tampons. I plan on getting all of my sisters MCUKs for Christmas! They will probably think I'm nuts, but they will love me for it! *So fresh and so clean!* That's the only song I sang all day the first time I used my MCUK!

I first started using the mooncup three years ago, when I bought my first one in a small green/health/wholefood store. It's so good though, I wish I'd started much earlier - for ages I'd seen the sticker on the door of the loos in Cambridge train station (the one on the left, if I remember correctly), but just hadn't got round to checking it out. My motivation at the time for buying it was environmental - it's entirely unsustainable to be using lots of disposable sanitary products every month, and I don't fancy eating fish that have been feasting on used tampons. But besides that, I really like the fact that I don't have to change it as much as you do tampons, it's easy to transport and no more worries about finding a place to buy them in an unfamiliar location. One word of caution, though. I did have a minor mishap with my first mooncup - while sterilising it, I forgot to put the timer on, and predictably, burnt the pan dry and it went all brittle and cracked. Not good. No choice but to buy a replacement, but since then I've not looked back! Maybe we can get a mooncup lady to replace the tampon ladies that visit schools to promote a certain well-known tampon brand?
