YOUR MOONCUP MENSTRUAL CUP QUESTIONS
DOES THE MOONCUP HOLD MORE THAN A TAMPON?
The Mooncup collects up to three times more menstrual blood than a regular tampon.
The size A Mooncup can hold 29.3 millilitres, and the size B Mooncup can hold 28.8 millilitres to the rim.
WILL THE MOONCUP WORK
FOR LIGHT OR HEAVY PERIODS?
The Mooncup is great for lighter days: as it’s non-absorbent it won’t cause dryness.
It holds three times the fluid of a tampon, making it great on heavier days, too.
HOW DO I USE MY MOONCUP IN
A PUBLIC TOILET?
First wash your hands. You can then take a small bottle of water into the toilet cubicle with you. Remove the Mooncup, tip the contents into the toilet bowl, rinse with a small amount of water and re-insert.
OUR IMPACT
We’ve been setting the standards for sustainable periods since 2002. The Mooncup® was born of a desire to drastically reduce the waste produced by throwaway period products. We passionately believe that everyone should have the basic right to menstruate without shame or stigma and are proud to support many charities and not-for-profit programmes in the UK and worldwide.
