(Vegan) An alternative to tampons.
The Mooncup menstrual cup costs £18.49. You will probably spend this in six months on disposable feminine hygiene products.
Your Mooncup will last for at least ten years, and you are investing in an ethical product which is concerned with your personal health and the well being of our planet
Please note that because the vaginal muscles of a woman before childbirth are firmer, the Mooncup is available in two models:
A. for women who have given birth vaginally and all other women over 30
B. for women under 30 who have not given birth
When placing your order, please ensure that you request the correct model.
"Just had to e-mail to say thanks for my mooncup. This is my third month and you CANNOT have it back!! I've told all my friends about it & can't say enough about how much more convenient it is - PLUS I think my period is over more quickly and easily (or is that just because I'm spared the embarrassment of either trying to slip tampons in my pocket or have men say why are you taking your bag to the toilet?' (no, really, it happened to me a lot!). Good for the planet, good for me, good for you for selling them - thank you!" - Ruth
How easy is it to use the Mooncup Menstrual Cup?
Correctly inserted, the Mooncup is so comfortable that you will forget it exists. It may take a little practice at first as you need to find the angle and position that is right for you.
Once you have perfected it you will be amazed at how simple the Mooncup is to use. You will need to empty, rinse or wipe and reinsert your Mooncup every four to twelve hours depending on your flow. The fluid remains inside the cup, and the process is not messy or uncomfortable.
The Mooncup can safely be used overnight and is great for all sports, swimming and travelling.
"I LOVE my Mooncup! I found it quick, convenient and easy to use (I think the trick is definately to aim towards the small of the back when inserting) and comfortable to wear. I'M FREE! I'M FREE! It doesn't leak or smell and I don't go to the loo and then think "damn I should've brought a tampax in with me" or get up in the morning and think "now I must fill my pockets with tampax" if I'm going out! The great thing is, once you've got it in, you've got it with you! Love it! Thanks! More women should know about this..." - Sue S
The smooth surface of the Mooncup allows the mucus membranes of your vaginal wall to continue their essential cleansing and protective functions. The Mooncup does not absorb your body's natural defence mechanisms and will not deposit fibres in your vaginal wall.
For your safety the Mooncup is made from a special medical grade non-allergic silicone. Silicone is an organic compound which is derived from sandstone. It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women who have an allergy to rubber products.
The Mooncup can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, by boiling or by popping it in the dishwasher!
Unlike pads and tampons the Mooncup menstrual cup is reusable, eliminating the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care your Mooncup will last for at least ten years.
Imagine the towels and tampons that you will be disposing of in landfill sites during that time!
The Mooncup Menstrual Cup is manufactured in the UK.
"I've been using the Mooncup for three years and it has been fantastic. I have a very heavy flow and used to use 2 x super plus tampons at a time, and a pad as well, and I would still be in a mess in an hour for the first 2 days of my period. Apart from saving me a fortune, and not supporting pharmaceutical giants, it is much gentler on your body than tampons. Try it, it is really worth it." - Gill
