Mooncup

Testimonials

I had wanted to try using a menstrual cup for at least a year before I got round to buying one and finally purchased my Mooncup from a large Boots outlet a few weeks ago. After a rather rushed and unsuccessful dry run I was a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to get it to work and it would be a wasted investment. I needn't have worried! My period came around again and I was determined to at least give it another try. I played around with it a bit first, trying out different folds and getting used to the shape and feel, and then inserted it sitting down on the edge of the bath. I am petite and a virgin, so it was slightly painful getting it past the vaginal opening (using a "punch down" fold), but once it was in it felt fine. I had no problem getting it to open and form a seal. I kept it in for about ten minutes as a test run the first evening of my period, and had a slight panic trying to take it out, but with taking some big relaxing breaths, bearing down, and some fishing about with my index finger managed to remove it without pain. I wasn't brave enough to try overnight use of the cup straight off the bat, but in the morning after having woken up to disgusting sticky thighs from my pad moving around in the night, I determined to start using the cup properly and cut out disposable products all together. This time I inserted it sitting on the toilet, and it was definitely easier than the first time. I have felt comfortable, dry and fresh all day. I wouldn't say that I forgot it was there, but I'm sure that's down to the novelty of using a cup rather than to actually feeling it inside me. I have a long coach journey and an important interview coinciding with this month's period, and was planning on using disposable pads and tampons, but I'm already confident enough with the Mooncup to use it even under such stressful and uncomfortable conditions. I'm 100% converted.
