Mooncup

The Mooncup is an innovative alternative to tampons, and come in two sizes (see right). Worn internally, like a tampon, menstrual fluid is collected in the cup, rather than absorbed.

'Unlike pads and tampons, the Mooncup menstrual cup is reusable - eliminating the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care, your Mooncup will last for several years'. Just think of all the tampons, pads and pantyliners you would otherwise have to buy - and dispose of.

'The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is approximately one third of the average total produced during each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leaking or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace your tampons, pads or pantyliners.

Which size Mooncup?

The Mooncup is available in two sizes.

Size A measures 46mm in diameter and 50 mm in length.

Size B measures 43 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length.

Both sizes have a pull stem 21 mm long, which you can trim to the length that is right for you.

Size A is recommended for women who have given birth vaginally or who have had a caesarean section and aged 30 or above.

Size B is recommended for women who have not given birth or who have had a caesarean section and aged below 30.

Mooncup - healthier option

'The Mooncup menstrual cup contains no bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency gels. It does not interfere with your healthy vaginal environment, nor has it been associated with toxic shock syndrome.

'The smooth surface of the Mooncup allows the mucus membranes of your vaginal wall to continue their essential cleansing and protective functions. The Mooncup does not absorb your body's natural defence mechanisms and will not deposit fibres in your vaginal wall.

'For your safety, the Mooncup is made from a special medical grade non-allergic silicone. Silicone is derived from silica which is one of the most abundant minerals on earth.

'It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women with sensitive skin, thrush, eczema or allergy.

'You will need to empty, rinse or wipe and reinsert your Mooncup every four to eight hours depending on your flow.'

When your period is finished, your Mooncup can be thoroughly cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, or by boiling for five minutes in an open pan of water'.
