The Mooncup Original Menstrual Cup B 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.

“What can I say? After reading all the reviews about this item upon purchase I was still unsure about it. I went ahead and thought I'd give it a go.I was not disappointed, not at all. I was expecting teething issues but so far I don't have any. It is so easy to insert, you can keep it clean and it is so comfortable. There are the odd times I can feel something but all it took was for me to adjust and I was once again good to go.I can honestly say I will not be going back to other means of management.If you are worried about it or have the same reservations I did then please just try it. Like anything you find a way to get used to the idea. The more I think about it the more convenient i have noticed it is. I can be in the office all day and don't have to worry about changing or leakage. It is totally brilliant even at night!Great job! Brilliant product”

“This is a Goddess' send. I have used it for a few months and i have had a few issues with the installing and removing, but that defintely improved with practise. I can now do it with one hand, no spill. I fold down one edge so it makes a wedge shape which I found easier to use.The cup itself is well made, soft and flexible. I ended up trimming the wick as it was too long! I personally think the wick will ways need to be trimmed, so I like it gives you the options.Since wearing it i have had no major accidents and in a way it's rather interesting to see how much comes out and when.Emptying the cup can be a faff, however the box advises to start on a low flow day to get the hang and I strongly support that. I boil mine at the end, and store it in the little bag as fluff will stick to it.In the long run I have saved so much money since I no longer need to pay the womans tax on my sanitary products.”

“I have only given this a 4 star as in the description, as it said that it holds 30ml yet the line shows 12 ml. :(I purchased this mooncup back in February of this year after watching reviews on youtube and OMG! wish I knew about these years ago. The only problem is the tab to remove it. It feels like something sticking inside you, which was quite painful. So, I cut it off but that did not help. I then turned the mooncup inside out and what a difference. I can honestly say that if it was not for me having to empty a very full to the brim mooncup every half hour for the first few days of my very heavy period, then I would not know it was in there. I just need a bigger one so then I can leave my home without fear of flooding the street.”

“Can be a little scary the first time using. Definitely decide whether the stem needs trimming early on else the cup can sit too far up and leakage may happen! Worth wearing a pantyliner for the first few days whilst you are getting used to it.Great for the environment and it's the first sanitary product I have ever used that makes you forget it is there. Sometimes Im even able to forget I'm on my period. Great product, would recommend.”

“No leaks, and love that I can wear it for hours without worry. Being on the smaller side I sometimes struggle getting out out (as in it takes a bit longer than I'd like) But I totally love the freedom it gives me.Would really recommend mooncups.”

“I'd previously tried a 'rainbow style' menstrual cup that I bought on Amazon foolishly thinking that it'd be as good as the more well known ones and I save a few pounds but it turns out that I wasted my money as, despite trying various different methods of entry, it leaked every day. I disappointedly thought that maybe menstrual cups weren't for me but decided to try the Mooncup and am so glad I did.I've used my Mooncup for a few months now and not once has it leaked. It's made of much thicker silicone and has a firmer shape than the other one I bought which I think helps it to 'spring' open once inside if you get what I mean! Don't let that make you think that it's difficult to put it in because it's not, it's quick and easy and not uncomfortable at all. If you're ok with inserting tampons and you follow the instructions, you'll be absolutely fine.The Mooncup is so comfortable to wear that I regularly forget that I'm wearing it! I haven't trimmed the stem at all as I didn't want to make it difficult to get it out.With regards to how often you have to empty it and reinset, personally, I only change it twice a day (once in the morning, once at night) and it never gets full (often nowhere near) though admittedly my periods aren't particularly heavy.The only downside that I can see with the Mooncup is if you don't like blood because obviously you will see your own blood but it doesn't bother me at all. I will say however, that I can't imagine it would be very nice to empty and reinsert in a toilet without a sink directly in front of you as I like to wash it out before reinserting it and I don't imagine that just cleaning it with toilet paper would be too pleasant! It's also obviously very easy to get a little blood on your hands. Thankfully, I've never had to empty it in public as, I mentioned earlier, it never gets full.So if you don't mind seeing your own blood then don't hesistate, buy this. To summarise, it's easy to take out and reinsert, extremely comfortable to wear (way more so than tampons), doesn't leak, doesn't have to be changed as often as tampons/pads, is totally safe (no risk of TSS with this), good for the environment as you're not throwing away sanitary products every month and will save you money as it's well made and could easily last you a lifetime.”

“FANTASTIC! You will never buy tampons or pads again, you'll be saving the planet, and you won't but shoving bleached bits of paper up your most sensitive area and leaving behind fibres as you drag it out. Thinking about it it seems like the most hygienic solution to your cycle.Did you know there are 4 plastic bags worth of plastic in a 12 pack of pads? And we throw away on average around 11,000 disposable menstrual items in a lifetime.The mooncup is super simple and you can wear it much longer than a tampon, and in bed, and swimming etc. You need to get the hang of inserting it properly, but you need to get used to using tampons at first too right? Once mastered it will change your life. Bare in mind you need to be okay with getting blood on your hands from time to time, it will happen. It's also better to be able to rinse in between uses, but if needs be tissuing it off can work. On the plus side you can leave it in all day so you may not need to change it during the day when you're out anyway.Wholeheartedly recommended - for an eco friendly future for our menstrual cycle!”

“As pads are irritating and tampons are not fun to remove when dry, and neither are good for the environment, I decided to get a Mooncup (B). I read all of the reviews across different sites, I checked out a few different brands and sizes and models, and decided to just invest in something with positive reviews and easily available in my country (as I know they vary internationally). They all warned that insertion and removal are awkward at first, and that if you aren't comfortable touching yourself or getting your fingers bloody, then this product is probably not for you. And they were right - it is a little awkward and messy at first, but it is totally worth it! It is SO much cleaner than a pad, and less itchy, and can stay in there longer than a tampon without the risk of toxic shock, all of which is a massive plus for me. The first couple of months were hit and miss, as I didn't always get the positioning right and so the seal might not be complete, or if I was particularly thick/heavy that day then a little would come out after re-insertion. It's still a bit hit and miss, but I feel confident enough to wear panty-liners instead of full-sized pads, which is so much more comfortable. And mentally, knowing that the liner is just there as a safety net and that I'll probably not have any blood in there by the time I have to empty the cup next, it's just such a relief. Relief is the overriding feeling that I get from this product.I still think that this is not a product for the squeamish, but if you can handle it, then it's worth it. Such peace of mind, and not at the expense of the environment for once!Just some advice though - experiment with the different insertion techniques to find the best one for you (they are in the instructions that come with it). Also, you will need to buy a small pan to boil-clean your cup once every month or two - I find that a milk pan works, but just make sure you store it AWAY from your kitchen/cooking pans! And when you're out and about, always carry a bottle of water - if you need to empty your cup while you're out, and you can't access a disabled toilet with a sink inside the cubicle, you can simply remove the cup in a normal cubicle as you usually would and use the water from the bottle to pour over the cup to clean it. Wipes may work too, though I wouldn't want to put those chemicals inside me, so only use those if you don't plan on re-inserting.Lastly, when choosing the size, remember that this one (B) is supposed to be for ladies who are young, small in that area, or who have not had children. This affects the width, depth and consequently the capacity of the cup. I'm under 25, average size and have not have kids, and am on the pill which gives me a light flow. I rarely fill more than half the cup in 8-12 hours. To give you an idea of what that means - I use 2*-3* absorbancy pads, changing every morning and night. And I have no problem whatsoever with the capacity of this product. So if you're naturally light/normal flow, then you'll be fine with this. Even with a heavy flow you may be alright just by changing a little more often, especially if you're heavy but have a small vagina. You'll need to use your judgement here, but I think the size up (A) is more for those with heavier flows, or wider-set vaginas. Anyone else will probably be fine with this one.In terms of the seller, I have no issues to report. Correct product delivered within the time-frame advertised. No problems.Hope this helps!!”
