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.

“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!!”

“Actually after trying this out after two months, I am more and more impressed , Yes it takes getting use too as everyone keeps saying, and your own unique technique comes into play when inserting and removing , but I must admit I am now a true believer and wouldn't want to return to lillets or pads ever again , I do have to use a liner on day one , but after that i am all good to go , not sure about bikini season on day one yet , might have to resort to lillets for a single day , but will hit that hurdle when it comes, its extremely comfortable ( after the first niggles of figuring it out ) and very discreet , not more strings to look out for , I am now a fan and I am promoting it when ever I can”

“Would have given this a 5star but I still have to use a panty liner for the 1st day or 2 of my cycle unless I use a tampon to dry out for the 1st few hours. It certainly is a money saver and I perhaps still need to get the angle right to stop the very minor leakage in days 1 and 2. Its a little messy for me when emptying so having a sink nearby is pretty neccessary, and practice is definately needed, but I would still recommend it. I'm just over 30 with no children using a b cup.”

“I tried this cup as my first menstrual cup and I'm glad I did because this is much softer than the Femmecup which I also bought. I am 24 and I have never had children and it was the perfect fit for me. It was very comfortable as I cannot feel it when I am wearing it. The softness of the cup doesn't stop the seal and it is easy to grab with the outside grips. Because I am rather overweight (size 22), I do have a little difficulty "reaching" and getting it out but I think with a little more practice I will have got the hang of it and maybe a few tips so I would recommend this to anyone, even if you are overweight.”

“It works perfectly well once inside. But I find it a little too big so I can find it uncomfortable/painful sometimes inserting/removing. But once inside its really comfortable and I've never had any leakage with it. So I'd recommend it. Itd just be nicer if they made it slightly smaller for us petite ladies.”

“This is simply fantastic!Such a small thing can make a big difference. I am very surprised that I'd never heard of it before. I came across this on Amazon quite by chance and I'm so pleased I tried it.I have only used it for one period but already I feel so positive about it.Every month I used designated "time-of-the-month" panties so my good panties didn't get ruined from pulling off the sticky liners. It was a mess and I would always leak which just makes me feel grotty and like I need a shower.After I received my Mooncup, I tried inserting it and trimmed the stem so I was used to using it before my period started. I tried leaving it in and it felt uncomfortable, I thought perhaps it wouldn't work for me if it was going to feel so sore wearing it.When I came on, I immediately started using the Mooncup and I think it just naturally moved a little further up but it was instantly undetectable and felt so comfortable. I have been very pleasantly surprised considering how it felt whilst I was practising with it.Why has this not been advertised on tv? Women need to be made aware of this as it makes life so much easier. To not be constantly worried of making a mess is liberating, I feel more relaxed and not so acutely aware of my flow. I don't need urgent toilet dashes and feel so confident with using it already.This is going to save me money as I'm not buying liners and will no longer need to buy 'period panties'.I am 37 and according to the guidelines, I should have purchased model A. However, because I practice pelvic floor exercises and do some yoga, I decided to buy model B. I'm petite too so I hoped that would be better and it fits perfectly for me.It takes some practice, especially if like me, you need to remove most of the stem. It is a bit messy too but it's a small price to pay overall. I take a small lidded pot of water into the toilet and rinse the Mooncup easily before re-inserting. I make sure I have wet-wipes too.I really can't recommend this highly enough. I know it's pretty expensive to buy but in the long term, it will save you money as well as it being so much better for our beautiful planet.”

“as many reviewers i was initially a bit sceptical with the whole menstrual cup business.... Because I read so much positive comments about it I thought I should man up and give it a go..... I am a silly girl for not trying it ages ago as it's totally amazing idea & product. I feel it's definitely much cleaner than tampons and pads. Having said that it takes time to get used to seeing one's own waste being taken out of body I will no lie about that ...But the advantages by using cup are just worth it... starting from longer periods of time one can have the device in 'use' (i do not have particularly heavy periods but still 8 hours is just amazing especially if one travels), you do not have to have any other means in place 'just in case' or worry if you took enough pads or tampons in your bag to keep you going, so much better for environment as there is no disposal of used stuff, practically no smell associated with the decomposition of one's waste, if inserted properly cup is held in place in ladies parts without being felt even being there.only thing which i would point out.... I had a cup with stem at the end but I am considering getting one with a little ball which makes removing the cup easier and maybe different colour that having a clear cup other than that I think if one is pondering if to try this device, you should definitely go for it.”

“It took me about a week to get used to it but once I had, I have never looked back since. It has never leaked unless too full which takes a lot and means I am obviously having a heavy period.I can't tell it's there once fitted and is more comfortable then tampons.I've used it so I can go and do water sports or go to the gym etc without worry. It's super easy to clean and between uses, I literally wash it under really hot water with some hand soap (I make sure the water is always to hot to use on my hands directly temp wise) and then i rub it down with alcohol gel for a minute before washing that off as its quicker to clean it this way then boiling it and this method will still steralise it. Just dont leave it in the alcohol gel or it will damage the silicone.I have a coil fitted and it doesn't cause me any problems. I've used the same Mooncup for 6 years and its still perfectly fine, so I've actually saved myself close to £300 by buying a mooncup instead of forking out £5 odd every month on tampons so you soon make your money back within one year minimum. So its easy to use, efficient and money saving.Is it a bit messy sometimes removing and emptying, yes but you get used to it surprisingly quick.”
