The Mooncup Original Menstrual Cup B Reviews

4.5 Rating 351 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 read a lot of reviews before buying this product and, to be honest, none of them quite prepared me for starting to use the moon cup.Insertion is surprisingly easy!It's just a case of folding the cup and shoving it in, which after a couple of practices becomes normal. I actually find it super easy to pop it in, in the shower. I do suggest some practice before your period starts... for the reasons below!Incredibly comfortable, once the stick was cut down.At first the stick caused me a fair bit of discomfort, so I cut it down a piece at a time re-inserting it to see how it fits. I ended up cutting this bit right down so the stick is practically non-existent (which actually made removal easier for me and also taught me I have a short vagina!)Removal is a bit 'icky' but by the end of one period I was used to it!The first removal resulted in me getting some on the inside of my jeans, but that was a removal using the stick. Once it was cut down I removed the cup by grabbing the base and putting it out slowly, which I found to be much more stable! I'm quite glad now as it is nice to not be grossed out by my period at all. With the moon cup there is no smell, and after a couple of practices, removal doesn't cause problems.I have a light flow, so I have kept mine in for up to 12 hours. Which is brilliant!Basically I plan when I put my cup in and take it out around what I'm doing for the day, to try and avoid removal in public restrooms where you cannot clean the cup discretely. Insertion and removal in the shower works great for me.I really do rate this product! I am 100% converted. Beforehand, I didn't think about the added 'gross' factor (although that has now gone), or think about the stem sitting comfortably. After the few days of my first period with the moon cup I was convinced this is the only thing I will now ever use. But I wanted to give the fair warning I didn't get! Just practice, practice, practice!”

“After years if thinking to myself "should i get a mooncup or not", I finally decided to get one & try it out. I looked online & the mooncup menstrual cup is considered to be the best brand of mooncup which made me decide this particular one.With this brand (like most), they come in two different sizes for (A & B) depending if you are over or under the age of 30 or you have had a vaginal birth or not. As i'm under 30 & have had a caesarean birth, I got the size B which is the smaller size.It came in a little cardboard box with an instruction booklet, a little pouch to put the mooncup in & the mooncup itself.I haven't actually tried this with a period but I have tested it out to see what it's like as far as comfort goes & if it would have the potential to do the job. I can safely say that it definitely does suction really well so once it's in the right place, it will only move once the suction seal is broken with fingers. Once it's in & the safely suctioned in the right position, it feels very comfy there it is. It has what I would call a "stem" or "tail" on the bottom of it which can be cut to your personal preference which is good too. In my opinion, I would always have it a but longer than what you think it should be to begin with as it helps to locate it which it's inside.It's important to mention that this product will NOT be any good for girls/women that have an unbroken hymen & may not be suitable with virgins if they haven't had any experince with using tampons or haven't had any form of penetration before (sorry for being brutally honest but ut's true).My only complaint with this product is that the pouch it comes with had lots of string on the inside of it which also put bits of sting on the mooncup, but apart from that it's perfectly fine”

“Wow, can't believe I didn't switch to the cup sooner! This is my first cup and, while I appreciate the improvement compared to tampons and pads, I will try another brand. I am 32 and never gave birth, so I bought the smaller cup (B). It performed great, didn't leak (mind you, before, I had to use both tampon and pads in my heavy flow days) and I didn't feel it, it was as if I didn't have anything inside. I felt fresh for the first time in many years, without those annoying pads. However, despite trying different ways of folding (did a lot of research online), it hurts a bit when inserting it. But, most of all, it hurts quite a bit more when I take it out, the rim is too hard/inflexible. So, after looking around at the various alternatives, I will try another brand, with a more flexible structure.”

“This is pretty much the best thing ever. I'm so glad I bought it. After reading some of the reviews I was apprehensive about putting it in and removing it, but it went in easily first time and every time since, and it hasn't leaked at all. I hate tampons because I have a very heavy flow and I'm an extremely active person. I will often be in the dance studio teaching lessons (which all involved some element of flipping upside down) for more than 5 hours at a time. So tampons are a no-go - they just leak, which is really awkward when I'm teaching in hotpants. Pads are safer, but harder to hide and so much more uncomfortable. The Mooncup has been amazing - no leakage, no spillage, no discomfort. The hardest part about wearing it is remembering to empty it, because I forget it's in there! I didn't have to trim the stem either - I just make sure it's right up in there.I struggled a bit to get it out the first time, but giving it a gentle assist with the pelvic floor muscles got it out on the second attempt. If you're not sure about size (like, if you're early 30s and have never had a vaginal birth, for example, or if you know you have super strong pelvic floor muscles), definitely go with the smaller one.I love it - I'll never look back now I've got this!”

“First time EVER trying a menstrual cup-I have only tried it out on the last day of my period so far, but so far so good! I inserted it perfectly on the very first try so I was happy with it/myself. And it is honestly such a relief that I don't have to buy tampons ever again-which is amazing not only for me but for the planet! Apparently the average woman throws away 11,000 sanitary products in their lifetime-and that is for just ONE of us. And I'm not usually someone to gloat about being environmentally friendly but it honestly just feels like a weight being lifted from my shoulders. As a girl, I feel like you are only given two options: tampons and pads. And menstrual cups aren't even really ever considered but I wish more people would give them a try and suggest them to daughters and friends because they REALLY make a difference in waste (I found out even the applicator of a tampon is not recyclable recently).The munch itself is something that worked perfectly fine for me the first time I used it, it fits comfortably in my body and is easy to insert and remove (as long as you are familiar with your own body). I think it's a decent price for a menstrual cup and I have had no problems so far! I will update if I have any changes in this review i.e. in times of heavier flow, but I can honestly say I'm looking forward to my next period and getting to use it more!”

“Best invention for the ladies...ever! I first came across the mooncup whilst i was watching Kate Arnell talking about it and with toughts in my mind of adopting a zero waste lifestyle. I was a bit skeptical at first as wheter it will work so I decided to buy and try it. I got the B cup as I am under 30 with no children.. I must admit that application/ removal of the cup was the most frustrating bit but once I got hold of the techniques I can say that I wont be buying another pack of sanitary pads/ tampons in my life. So comfortable I sometimes used to forget that I am on my period. Can be changed after 8 hours eventhough I used to change it more frequently. Like every 4 hours or so (still a lot of time compared to pads/tampons). I between uses it is best to wash it with a soap free wash and make sure the holes at the rim are open. So far I havent experienced and leakages and i am to keep it that way Before storing for the following month, I like to keep a seperate small pan especially for the mooncup and use it to boil the cup for 5 minutes in some water with baking soda. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for an enviormentally friendly yet comfortable approach to our time of the month. I speak highly of it wherever I go. Thanks Mooncup!”

“i have to say, i cant rate this product high enough. i had been on the implant for 3 years, with no period, so i when i had it taken out i wanted to try this out. yeah, its more expensive than your normal sanitary product but this on ANOTHER LEVEL. its so natural, and clean, and i cant believe id been throwing away all those pads and tampons before.the highlights for me are1. you can see how much you're bleeding and it becomes a fun game2. ZERO WASTE3. you can still sleep with no underwear on your period!!!!i am just in love with my mooncup. a platonic love of course. for now.p.s. some actual useful information: you can change it every time you go to the toilet, for me it easily comes out by squeezing the bottom and pulling. its more comfortable than a tampon but you have to make sure its sitting in there properly. it could probably stay in there all day with light bleeding. but maybe only a couple of hours on the heaviest flow.”

“This is the second cup I bought (the first being FemmeCup). I'm pretty satisfied with it. The ridge is a bit harder than the FemmeCup, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for first-time users. The Mooncup has a pretty big capacity and is good for the first couple of days when the flow is heavier. I gave this product four stars because I find it harder to use than my other menstrual cup and it doesn't always open up and I have to fiddle around with it, but apart from that, it's good. I've used it for 8 to 12 hours no problem and while playing sports (swimming, working out, judo).”
