"Hi Su,
The Mooncup is a revolution! I saw a sticker on a loo
door at Glastonbury Festival and made myself remember
the name to look up on the net when I got back to
London. And I'm so glad i did!
"The Mooncup is SO easy to use and you dont even know
its there as its so comfortable! The only concern I
had was using it in public loos, as you have to make
sure you dont spill it... but it was fine.
"I now feel like having my periods is an achievement
rather than a hasstle! It got me thinking how much
money companys could save not having to worry about
sanitary disposal units. In a perfect world all we
need is a little sink at the side to wash our little
mooncup in when we go to the loo!
Thanks so much! I recommend it to every woman! :)"

"The mooncup is absolutely amazing. I have an allergy to rubber and tampons give me thrush, and the mooncup is so comfortable that I dont even know that I am on my period!!!
"This product means that I never have to use a bulky sanitary towel ever again!! Please continue to promote this product, so many women don't know what they are missing and if you ever stop producing them please contact me so that I can stock up!!!"
Thanks again
Kellie
"I'm 26 and i've bin using it for 2 months and i LOVE it. i've always had dryness problems with tampons and i always forget to take them out and about with me but the mooncup is fabulous. i had my 2nd period using it on holiday - swimming in the sea and everything! i too can't believe more women don't know about this or think the idea is 'yucky'. i plan to 'spread the mooncup word' far and wide!! thank you so much for selling it."
Best wishes
Lucy
"I first found out about the Mooncup on the internet while researching menstrual practices for an anthropology paper. I ordered one and have been using one (a B and then an A model) for over five years. I think it is great. For all the reasons mentioned in this site, but also because of the different relationship it allows with your menstrual blood. It is no longer ugly, stinky and associated with trash because of it's destination. It's precious and beautiful, bright red and glittering ...and then you decide to discard it. And every time I do, I think that I should instead find a way to turn it into a work of art, some kind of ode to femininity...."

"I'm using my moon cup for the first time, right now.... and it's great,
it's very comfy and it doesn't appear to leak at all. I've had irregular
periods for years and always had problems with tampon strings (the bleach makes me itch slightly) and hated spending a fortune on natural tampons which are unbleached and I can only get "normal" sized ones in tiny boxes...grrr.
It's such a relief to find something like this, it seems so practical and
so easy to put in (even the very first time). I'm never using anything else again. It makes me angry that other options aren't well known and talked about."

"Have finally resolved to use my mooncup after purchasing it two months ago, I can honestly say it has been a resounding success. The timing was right, as my day off from work coincided with the 1st day of my period, (never good) and I am very pleased with my first attempt at using my cup. It was a big concern to me about having to use public toilet facilities going back to work next day, but so far this has been overcome easily.
"I had never heard of this device until my environmentally conscience work colleague told me about it earlier this year. (There was a shudder of revulsion among us girls in the office thinking - we could never do that!) However two of us resolved that we would give it go! I am so delighted with my first months trial. I wish I had known about this natural method a long time ago. I feel absolutely cheated!! "

"On the subject of liberating women to experience the bleed as sacred (as opposed to 'the curse'); the site mentions pouring the blood away down the toilet, yet you could also mention that menstrual blood is a highly effective plant food and can be used as an alternative to baby bio - not only helping your plants to grow, but also giving back to the earth what the Goddess has given to us. I realise that this is something that many women feel squeamish about....but it doesn't take much getting used to and it is a way of honouring the bleed- giving back to ourselves what has been taken away by years of misinformation. The time of menstruation is immensely powerful and can be used for meditation, dreamwork and ritual. Yet instead we are taught to treat it as a curse that punishes us for being female..."

"Having had a week of hell every month for 25 yrs I found the Mooncup by accident last year and I am over the moon! I dont sleep on laid out towels, change my pads in the night, soak my stained clothes, carry around a bag of equipment, I wear what I like and I'm freeeeeeeee, I'm ANGRY that it took so long for me to find it and want to tell the whole world !!! My 3 sons are sick of hearing about it!!!"
Tracie
"I have already got one of your Mooncups (I find it to be wonderful) and I would like to order 3 for my mum and my 2 sisters..."
Alicia
"i've been using my mooncup for more than six months and i strongly recommend it's use. i don't think i"ll ever use anything else again. nor will i need to... they last for years. it's comfortable and very hassle free. i never felt particularly comfortable wearing tampons, but i'm glad i'm no longer in contact with the bleaches they use to keep tampons white, such as dioxins"
Nadia
"The Mooncup is brilliant. I've had it for 7 years and it's still going strong. When I'm wearing it I don't notice it at all. I can do all the things that I would be able to do using other methods and more. I don't end up feeling dry and uncomfortable. It also means I can save the blood for my plants and my paintings. A few of my friends have got one too and they get on with it brilliantly. It took about 3 bleeds to get used to it but since then I've never looked back."
Lyn
"I took to the Mooncup on first use and absolutely love it. It is so much more comfortable and easy to forget. It makes me feel much more in harmony and control of the process. It is really good to know you are not adding to sea pollution, landfill or putting toxins in your body. Hooray, hooray! Forget all the worries about them being weird, disgusting, uncomfortable, expensive etc. they are great and well worth the initial pay out - never look back."
Harriet
"It really works, it's cheap and environmental. I recommend the Mooncup. I think it shortens your period too."
Sarah
"With some trepidation I bought my first mooncup last week and have been using it this weekend. So far, it's great! I am really impressed with it - efficient, and easy to use, though a little tricky to remove in the morning. However, it is light years away from tampons and pads. And I relate to what Julie says about the relationship with menstrual blood."
Liz
"Just thought I would let you know. I have had my mooncup for 3/4? months now and it is wonderful. I had some reservations (being in my 40's and having very heavy periods. But it has been fantastic. I use pads on 2 days as extra security, but other than that it can handle anything. Thanks."
Chris
"I have a serious complaint!! I have had to wait 23 years to find the
Mooncup! It has changed the way I view my menstruation, as I no longer fear where and when I will come on. As a very heavy bleeder I was concerned that I would still have to use sanitary towels, but there was no need to worry!
It truly is amazing, I almost feel as though I am cheating at having my
period! It makes me so cross to think of all the unfortunate Women in the
world who will never learn of the (better) alternatives to tampons. You sit
and read these feedback reports wondering, 'it can't surely be that good,
can it?' Well yes it can! Come on Ladies, you visited this site for a
reason, so trust your instincts and buy the thing! Well done Mooncup.co.uk, I am a very, very, very happy customer!"
