The Mooncup is a UK made silicone menstrual cup, used internally instead of a tampon. It’s a great idea, the Mooncup simply sits inside you, collecting your menstrual flow, and you empty it every few hours. No waste, and as it lasts for ten years it’s a fantastic bargain. Mooncups can take a little bit of getting used to, so don’t expect to be an expert on your first go. One of the first things you’ll notice is that it has a long stem underneath, which you will almost certainly need to trim. You should aim to have the stem short enough so that it’s comfortable and not sticking outside of your body, but long enough that you can still remove the Mooncup easily. The Mooncup is made in two sizes, size A is recommended for women over the age of 30, and for any woman who has given birth naturally. If you are under 30 and haven’t given birth, you will need a size B. If you’re unsure, please ask, as we cannot accept returns if you have the wrong size! The diameter of the cups is 46mm for the larger size A, and 43mm for the smaller size B. Mooncup have a UK telephone advice line where you can speak to a nurse advisor if at any time you require help or guidance with using your Mooncup. The helpline is available to all Mooncup users, regardless of where you purchased your Mooncup. Unfortunately for legal reasons, we cannot ship the Mooncup to the USA. |
