I am a complete convert to the menstrual cup - and as a committed non-tampon user nobody is more surprised by this than me! - but the menstrual cups are so much better than tampons. The favourite thing I like is that the outside doesn't get messy and there is no irritating string, I also like that I don't run out and that they cost hardly anything compared to what I used to spend on pads.
The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.
The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.
MoonCup suggest emptying it 4 times a day - but it depends on your flow many people only empty them morning and night. Emptying it is really easy - you just remove it and tip the contents down the loo, rinse it and reinsert. At the end of your period you clean it with hot soapy water then you can sterilise it any way you choose - boil, milton, steam steriliser or even the dishwasher!
THIS IS A SIZE B MOONCUP - SUITABLE FOR ANYONE UNDER 30 WHO HAS NOT GIVEN BIRTH VAGINALLY - IF YOU ARE OLDER OR HAVE HAD A BABY VAGINALLY CHECK OUT SIZE A Please ensure that you select the correct model. For hygiene reasons we cannot exchange Mooncups once they have been dispatched.
