Mooncup® The Original Silicone Menstrual Cup, Reusable, Ultra Soft & Easy Insert, Great for Heavy Flow Periods, Size B, Age 30 or Under (Pack of 1)

I love this thing!!! Seriously the best, I hate tampons so much with the plastic applicator pollution, the carcinogens loaded into them, the price and so many more reasons, but this cup is the best thing I've bought in a while. A little hard to remove at first, definitely necessary to pop the seal with your finger before trying to wiggle it out, but I got the hang of it after two or three times. I wasn't sure if it would last all day with a heavy flow, but it absolutely did with no leaks at all! Also, removing it while full wasn't nearly as scary as I expected haha. It's also very comfortable. I don't feel it at all, although I did experience some cramping the first few days while I adjusted to it, but it's totally fine now. This might be a little too far out there for some people and that's okay haha, but the cup is also excellent for collecting your menstrual blood which is extremely powerful and healing, so that you can use it for assisting manifestation! You can mix it with water and pour it in your garden and your plants will THRIVE and grow 10x faster, it's crazy! I swear the colors are brighter :). I highly recommend this for all women to at least try. It may not be for you, but it's at least worth a shot.

I was very iffy about these cups in general - I didn't know what they were made out of, if they would leach anything in me, if the colored ones were safe... BUT i was open to the idea of them. So one day I was looking at posts in a Zero waste group on facebook and someone posts something about this moon cup. So I checked it out and it seemed to be what i was looking for if i were to get one - it wasnt colored like other cups out there and it seems to be the best/safest quality material out there. there are two sizes out there "A" is for over age 30 and/or if you have given birth vaginally. "B" is if you are under 30 and have not given birth vaginally. I'm not exactly sure what the difference is but I am 25, and i have given birth vaginally BUT I am also 5ft 100lbs so I decided to go with B anyway. I got it a few weeks back and I got to try it out last week. I definitely love that I have a Zero waste menstrual cycle saves me money and the planet for a win-win! So it fits good and I could barely feel it. my only issue is when trying to take it out. I have to figure out how to get it out without it getting suctioned. i guess its common with all these cups.. I'm sure I'll find a method with more use. but otherwise I am very satisfied with this product!

I bought this without doing any research. Mistake. It turns out I have a high cervix and this poor little cup gets lost and I can only remove it by yanking hard on the stem -- not good. It's also too firm for me. Or... in some other way conspicuous and uncomfortable. Just feels like too much pressure in an area that's already feeling sore and bloated in the first place. My biggest complaint is that the stem (which, because of my particular anatomy I can't cut off (and indeed it could be longer still) is too hard and rigid. I don't know for sure that it's scraping up my insides when I'm wearing it but the anxiety that it is is enough to limit my moving and bending. And ultimately, I've given up on this cup for the reasons mentioned. It's a fine product though. Certainly quality. But, fellow menstruators, it's time consuming and difficult, but, do some research and investigate your body a bit. These cups are pretty expensive to keep buying the wrong one. (I'm about to try a third one. The Lily was better for me but I have all new problems with that one, alas.) Good luck.

Menstrual cups have always struck me as unappealing, but for no good reason; there's nothing appealing about pads or tampons, either (especially their price and waste they generate). So I finally decided that I needed to give one a shot. After reading enough descriptions, reviews, and comparisons for the different menstrual cups available (to the point that my head spun), I finally decided that the Mooncup (UK) was my best option for a first cup. I am over 30 and have never given birth, and I went with the A size, in accordance with the manufacturer's sizing guidelines, and it took about 1 week for delivery to the east coast of the US. It arrived just a few days before the start of my next period, so I did not have to wait long to try it. Absolutely amazing device! It is not as difficult to use as much of what you read may read about menstrual cups may lead you to believe. The directions that come with this cup are very clear, informative, and easy to understand/follow. Folding and inserting the cup is simple as its soft, but not mush, and doesn't tend to spring out of your hand. It's also easy to grip wet or dry. The trick is to be patient and take your time, especially if you never used anything like it before (I had not). It's likely that you will need to trim the stem to ensure your comfort; I trimmed mine twice before I got it where it needed to be. You'll know you've gotten the correct length when you insert the cup and cannot even tell it's there. It seals easily and checking the seal is simple and quick, too. After about 2 full days of use, I felt confident and competent at it, and after that it just got quicker each time. I wore while sleeping, swimming, hiking, canoeing, doing yard work, cooking, and loafing around. I never had it leak nor experienced any discomfort. It's easy to clean and maintain, and at this point, I'll probably buy a second one for when I'm going to be somewhere that water to rinse/clean it with isn't right at hand.

This is my 3rd menstrual cup. The first two were cheaper ones from china. Each got thrown out (one fell in the toilet and the other was thrown by someone else) and really i am glad because i feel that they were probably not medical grade silicone and very unsafe fornmy body! After one cycle without a cup, i ordered this one as soon as i could! I could no longer stand all of my blood flowing out of me and making a mess, nor can i stand tampons stinking up and drying out my insides. I feel much safer with this cup, and it stays in place better than the other cups i have tried. Almost no leakage! Significantly less than the other 2 cups.Well worth the money and the wait (only 2 weeks or so, MUCH faster that the expected delivery). I love this cup, and i am never going back to maxi pads and tampons! ((I am slightly experienced with cups, but i recommend to first timers, give yourself time at home and before your period to practice putting it in and taking out! With my first cup i had some "oh god its stuck!!" scares. it takes some practice so do not panic if it seems wrong at first! Best of luck!))

I love this product! I work in a fast paced job with lots of walking, standing, and bending down. I have never had a period product actually go completely unnoticed as I work before. I kept forgetting I had it in at all. After the initial pain of getting it in that first time, this product is completely comfortable to wear. I was a bit worried about emptying it (because of the horror stories some of these reviews have) but it was actually really easy and mess free. I did have to snip the stem a bit but it was easy enough to measure what was extra length and what I needed for removal. I highly recommend this product!

Difficult too use. I just could use it one time

I have bought two of these! The first one I bought in December 2017. I lost it recently and went ahead and bought my second one February 2019, this month. I have a Paraguard IUD so my periods are REALLY heavy. The packaging says you can wear this for 12 hours. I wear mine for about 1-3 hours on heavy days before I have to empty. On lighter days, I can go 10-12 hours and try to empty it in the shower. Super easy to clean. I rinse mine off every time I empty it. I try to boil it every menstrual cycle, but sometimes I forget and it only gets done 1-2 times a month. I use an antibacterial soap on it 1x a day. If you have never used one before, I highly recommend trying it while you aren't on your period to get used to the multiple different folds (you can google search), I use the C-fold but have also had success with the punch-down fold. I tried the Diva Cup before this and it almost ruined my opinion on menstrual cups. The Diva Cup hurt my lower back to the point of not wanting to leave my bed. It was extremely hard to remove. I bought the Moon cup size B because I am 22 and had a c-section. I trimmed the stem all the way to the base so it doesn't stick out at all but I still have grips on the base of the cup to pull down to remove. I highly suggest this product!
