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

Registered 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).
