After having children my periods were unbelievably heavy, to the point that I was quite worried about leaving the house on a couple of the days. Super plus tampons and heavy duty pads were not enough to stop leaks, and I was even nervous about my soft furnishings- no joke! Having read about the mooncup I was sceptical as I couldn't believe that it would cope with my heaviest days. So after experiencing yet another shopping trip which ended with a dash home for a complete change of clothing(!) I bought a mooncup, thinking what have I got to lose? Like so many other women on this site, I was converted from day one. No leaks at all, and on my second month of use I was even relaxed enough not to be popping to the loo every half hour to check that all was clear below! Public loos are not the challenge you may expect, as the mooncup cleans up really well with a quick wipe with toilet paper, and of course it is so discreet,as there are no more tell tale rustling wrappers (if you are coy about these things). The freedom I experience in using my mooncup is amazing, I don't have to pack my handbag like a kids nappy bag any more (pads, tampons, wipes, spare pants)and I am reassured that my mooncup is all I need for guarranteed protection from leaks through out my period. Of course the best thing about mooncups is the impact on the environment- none! (apart from the manufacturing processes about which I know nothing!) If you are still undecided, take the step and buy yourself a mooncup, you won't regret it and after one day using it you will be kicking yourself for being so sceptical.
