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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“perfect for non heavy days but too small and holds too little for my heavy days, if they made this bigger i would buy it ,perfect hardness and shape for me feels very comfortable but like i said its just too small for my heavy days which are 7 of the days in my 9 day monthly saying that i have a very heavy period compare to most people , also this only hold 20ml to the suction holes if you are regularly heavy i recommend you look for a larger like 30ml to the suction wholes best a Me-luna large or xl cup which sadly is not available on Amazon but if you need one on Amazon the Eva cup large is 30ml to suction holes is the largest legitimate cup i have found on here and not too expensive which i have ordered and waiting for it , will leave a review on there when used it for a few months hope this helped someone.”

“I thought I would wait a while before leaving a review of the moon cup so that I could give an honest review over a period of time (excuse the pun!!). Overall I think this a great product- it has completely revolutionalised sanitary protection and is the best invention since the tampon. I have now been using the mooncup for over a year. I can have heavy periods and the mooncup holds more than a tampon so it's great for that. It has saved me a great deal of money on buying tampons. However I have still been using towels on the heavier days. Having said that I did this with tampons. As far as inserting the mooncup goes I did find it took a little getting used to. I have found at times that I have had leaks probably because it wasn't inserted correctly. Having said that this can happen with tampons. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is not about the product but where you can use it. You really need to either be at home or have a toilet at work that has a sink in the cubicle with it. This is because when you take the mooncup out you will have bloody hands and need to rinse it. If the sink at your work place is located in the toilet cubicle then that's ok otherwise if not you will have to put the mooncup back in without rinsing it- but you will have bloody hands which you will need to wash in the public area of the loos. This would apply to public toilets too. Luckily I work mostly from home so it's not an issue for me but one to consider if you are thinking of buying a mooncup.”
