The Mooncup Original Menstrual Cup Reviews

About Mooncup:

Mooncup began with a clear goal: to give people a healthier, sustainable way to manage their periods.

Back in 2002, we launched the world’s first medical-grade silicone menstrual cup, pioneering a movement that put health and the planet first. We saw an industry where profit came before people, ingredients were hidden, and plastics reigned, so we challenged the status quo.

Now, we're on a mission to become the world’s biggest sustainable period care brand. We’ve just launched Mooncup period pads into Sainsbury’s, Boots, Holland & Barrett and Look Fantastic. We’re also partnering with workplaces, gyms and hotels (like Canva, Danone, Third Space, Gymshark and Claridge’s) to offer free period care in bathrooms.

We use only science-backed, body-safe ingredients because your period products should work with your body, not against it.

“I wouldn’t go back to using tampons or pads. I love this cup. I watched a fair few youtubers talking about it and did quite a bit of research so felt like i knew what i was doing. My first attempt was while on holiday (not the best situation) but although i was nervous about leaking, it didn’t happen.I’ve done 3 cycles with it now and have noticed the second day of my period it sits much better and no spotting like on the first day (perhaps its a lubrication thing)Also it sits a lot lower than what i thought it would which is fine cos it doesn’t rub. After wearing mine for about 6 hours i wash it, put it in a little pot and pour boiling water over it, (I squash it so that the air vents are rinsed with boiling water too) then put it back in, obviously once its cooled. I am very conscious of trying to keep it clean. Then at the end of my cycle i boil it in a pan, watching it like a hawke so that it doesn’t burn.The other great thing is there is no smell like what you get with other sanitary products.Even if I didn’t get on with this particular cup, i would try a different one because i love the idea that I’m ot only saving money but I’m doing my own little bit to save the planet.”

“As describedSaving the planetConvenient instead of carrying around tampons and padsDon't need to empty it as often as I would have had to change tamponsOnce i got used to it i now feel more secure against leakage than I did with tamponsOk - menstrual cups for some reason, everyone thinks they are gross. When I tell my female friends about these i usually get a look of distrust and disgust!!! I'm not sure why the idea of them seems to put people off. Maybe it's because you see your menstrual blood? You will 100% see your blood and have to poke around in your undercarriage - so if either of those points worries you then maybe it's not for you - but I would still say try it and see!Anyway, all I can say is, if you are considering using one, just do it, do it now! It does take getting used to and you will need to have some back up pads while you're adjusting, but it's so worth the perseverance!Tip: you will know it's in securely as you'll feel a quick vague popping sensation. If you are unsure if it's in properly it probably isn't so try again.Good luck mooncuppers!”

“Takes a while to get used to and I could tell it was there unlike a tampon but it seems very secure and easy to put in and take out and will save a lot of money not having to buy tampons anymore.”

“Soooo, I may have been a little hasty in my previous review. I kept revisiting the mooncup as, even though I was still experiencing leakage problems, the pain was so much less. Each time I would get frustrated and go back to tampons ..boom, the pain would ratchet up. I finally just commited to using it for whole periods along with a pad until I could master it. Now I can get through a period with 2 paracetamols taken on the heaviest day, whereas before it was methanamin acid for days.Original title: Turn your period into a nightmare of uncertainty and leakage for £20 - I can't even begin to describe how awful this thing made an already awful time of the month for me, I can only thank goodness that my period generally starts at the weekend. 2 periods of leakage and self groping later and I'm done. I watched a million you tube videos about folds, insertion and positioning before I started so it isn't about not enough research. I checked the darned thing was completely open (I ran my finger around and made sure i could feel the entire rim, yes I'm that flexible), checked it was sealed after, pretty much cut off so the stem it would't wriggle around. I'm in my thirties and fully remember my first time using a tampon, it was not this awful, so back I go.”

“This product is great. It has taken a little getting used too but I love it and I’m sure my periods are less painful and shorter since I started using it”

“I am just new to menstrual cups, this one is the first well known brand that l own. It’s much better at opening when inserted. Like I mentioned I am still learning to use them things, they seem to take time to get the hang of it. This cup is firm, not hard so it did not leak overnight as l did not squeeze it as I slept. I might return after many uses to add or remove what I just written, so far am happy with it”

“I had been thinking about purchasing one of these for environmental reasons, and also because I'm sick and tired of the feeling of soggy pads or dry tampons. However, I was worried it would be too difficult to use even at home, and basically impossible to deal with outside. Anyway, I made the leap and honestly it was so worth it. The first few months were difficult, but I was also very cautious about it. The first 7-8 insertions were unpleasant, even a bit painful, until I found the way to insert it properly and I haven't had any problems with it. Same with the removal - the first times it was really awkward (I spent upwards of 15 minutes the first few times trying to get it out and even had to ask my boyfriend for help once), but it got easier and easier and now that I know exactly how to do it it's a piece of cake. Because of these problems initially I was only wearing it for 2-3 hours at a time and only at home. I slowly increased the times I was using it for, still only at the comfort of my home. On my second monthly period after the purchase I gathered the courage to sleep with it. No leaks! I find a few small drops of blood on my pants every once in a while, but nothing that hasn't happened with a pad or a tampon. Now it has been more than half a year. I wear it on a holiday, at work and everywhere. When I want to change in public I just make sure to clean my hands really thoroughly before removing it in then rinse it with a bottle in the cubical. It's a bit messy, but then you can wipe your hands with a tissue and wash after, and give it a good clean once you get home. Basically, I think it is totally worth it. My advice for anyone who wants to buy this, is to take it slowly, because there's a learning curve. Be patient and it will pay off :)”

“I was a bit nervous to first try it but I instantly fell in love with this product! It feels so clean and nice not to be using fabric tampons - you simply remove, rinse and use again! I used to have a massive bag full of super plus tampons, super tampons, regular tampons, tampon holders, disposal bags, night time pads and panty liners... Now I just have this little beauty! That's it! Instead of getting through, say, 20 tampons and bags each month, I now produce NO LANDFILL at all from my periods and that feels great. I cannot stress enough how brilliant this product is and you can't feel it inside at all. You also don't need to worry about changing frequently - it lasts up to 8 hours! Give it a go. If you don't get on with it straight away, as I imagine not everyone will bond as quickly as I have, just give it another go the next time. It really is worth it.”
