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.

“Having only heard about moon cup from a colleague at work I hummed and Hayed about trying it or not.. I tried it for the last three days of my period and Beside it feeling a little uncomfortable when I was walking it done the job.. I don't think it was the moon cup fault though more my error with inserting. I must admit though I found it rather painful to take out but again feel it was my error. I look forward to trying my moon cup again this month x”

“Okay, I have a little confession... I bought this last May and it's sat in my bedroom drawer for 8 months! Having ran out of tampons I decide to give it a go this period, and I've got to say I regret not using it sooner! It hasn't leaked, I can't feel it once it's in and it's so easy to empty!Here's a few things I've discovered:It's impossible to open your bowels with it in as the muscle movement tends to push it out, so remove it first and you'll be okayI've found the "folded rose" technique the easiest to insert the cup - if you do use the other one you need to make sure it's opened up properly, I do this by feeling all around the sides once it's inserted to make sure it's completely popped outOne of the best ways to tell it's in properly is to listen for the seal, you should hear a sucking noise. Also, it sits low down, much lower than a tampon, and will move into position once you start moving aboutThe stem - I've cut it right down, the way I get the cup out is to gently squeeze the bottom of the cup until I hear the seal break and then gently slide it out, you should be relaxed (if you've ever tried to remove a tampon when you're tense you'll know what I mean!!) don't be frightened to cut it off if it's uncomfortableI hope these tips help someone as I've found this so easy to use, its a case of trial and error to find what works for you. Highly recommend this product!!”

“If your hesitating about buying one of theses. I would highly recommend. Why have I never heard of these before? I wish I had started using one years ago. Ok details def helped me buy, so details I will provide. I agree with all the positive comments that I read before I purchased one but I also have a few more to add. I stumbled across them while researching how to handle very heavy periods. Now in my middle 40's I was beginning to think about a GP visit but didn't really want medication as managing the heavy periods/ blood clots was my issue. Well this cup has transformed that and made it manageable again. Yes you have to fumble round to get it in and out but actually I think it's less messy than sanitary towels. For the 24 hours of my very heavy days I wouldn't risk not having a sanitary towel in place just in case, maybe as time goes on and I know my cycle well I might not need them but I like the security of not leaking and I do empty the cup regularly. But once those heavy days have passed it can stay in place for hours, no leaks at night like you do with other methods.Before I trimmed the tube end off it was incredibly uncomfortable and itchy but once that was done you don't know it's there.So far no leaks and catching those clots means no more rushing to the loo. Crude I know but the details helped me buy and I was worried it wouldn't work with heavy periods but this has transformed things for me. Just wish I had known about them years ago. Complete convert. Why don't they sell them next to the sanitary protection in the supermarkets as I don't think people know about them. So glad I found this and not on medication to reduce menstrual flow.”

“hey :) so to everyone out there who i struggling with this i understand your pain... I also struggled but my first period nearly complete with this i am officially converted. Some helpful tips that i found useful 1) it does go in so much easier wet - just wash it under the tap under warm water as i found this makes the silicone slightly more malleable and so glides in easier 2) I firstly used the second folding method on the advise slip as it looked less daunting, however i have found that the 'punching method' as well as then turning it around and inserting it helps a great great deal, this ensures it opens easily inside and creates a good seal and then doesn't allow leakage. 3) to remove - ouch it hurt the first time I tried because I yanked it out - please don't do this, it feels a little odd but the best way to do so is to pinch the bottom of the cup whilst gently pushing out with little pulses of pushing and then easing it from side to side. 4) generally I found the best was to wear the moon cup for myself was to not change it so frequently as I did a tampon - I found the less I kept pulling it out and in the easier it sat nicely inside me and I forgot it was there. 5) I haven't had any children and completely removed the stem of mine so don't be afraid to do so - I wore it two or three times before I completely removed it.I really hope this helps you guys a little as I was a bit in despair when I couldn't get it to sit right and it leaked once due to this but these little techniques have helped me have a more pleasant period :)”

“First time trying this I had no time to practice Bc I needed it right then and there lol but saved my life I will not use tampons anymore so easy to use, only downside I picked the wrong size so definitely go off the sizing directions but otherwise every female should know about this product.”

Helpful Report

“I use my mooncup twice a month, first during ovulation when I'm trying to conceive and then again during my period as I cry over not being pregnant.All joking aside, this product is so much cleaner thank bulky pads, especially when I'm sleeping. It also gives me an alternative to tampons (as tanpons can effect fertility by changing your natural PH cycle)I'm really hoping one day I won't have to use this product (for at least 9 months) but until then Its my little treasure.”

Helpful Report

“I was very nervous about using the mooncup but really unhappy about the waste produced by tampons and pads. The first time was a bit strange and gory and well gross but after a while I quickly got used to it. I am happy I made the switch, it's so environmentally friendly that a bit of initial yuckiness is worth it.”

“Great product, once I cut the tab to the right length it's comfortable. The only thing I don't like is emptying it in public (last resort) it can be a little bit messy... Let's just say it's ok if you've got a private toilet with a sink.... Maybe save it until your home lolPenny saver but not for the squeamish or faint hearted.”
