For You
The healthier and convenient alternative to tampons and pads which saves you money too.

Healthier

Tampons can cause dryness and leave fibres behind. The Mooncup® respects your natural balance.

Convenient

Holding 3 x more than a regular tampon and non-absorbent, you only need the one Mooncup- for lighter or heavier days. No bulky spares to carry or used products to dispose of.

Money-saving

One Mooncup lasts for years, and costs the same as you would spend on disposables in 6-8 months.

For Our World
Made to last for years, the Mooncup menstrual cup is an easy way to dramatically reduce the waste you produce.

Cuts waste

Each one of us uses around 11,000 disposable sanitary products in a lifetime, which end up in the sea or landfill. Regardless of flow, you only need one Mooncup.

Animal friendly

Certified by the Vegan Society.

Cleaner Beaches

Ocean Conservancy volunteers collected 27,938 used tampons and applicators on our world’s beaches on a single day (International Coastal Cleanup, 2013).

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.
