The Mooncup is the original silicone menstrual cup designed by women to be a convenient, safe and eco-friendly alternative to tampons and sanitary pads. Loved by women all around the world, and made in the UK by a multi-award winning ethical business, the Mooncup offers an end to the waste, discomfort and expense of disposable sanitary protection.

The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup, around two inches long and made from soft medical grade silicone. It is worn internally a lot lower than a tampon but, while tampons and pads absorb menstrual fluid, the Mooncup collects it. This means it doesn't cause dryness or irritation, and also that it collects far more (three times as much as a ‘super-absorbent' tampon'!). Because the Mooncup is reusable, you only need one so it saves you money and helps the environment, too.

The Mooncup is designed to be folded and inserted into the vagina, then removed, rinsed and reinserted up to every 8 hours. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls, allowing menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. This seal is released for removal, allowing you to empty the contents, rinse or wipe and reinsert. Comfortable, convenient and safe: the Mooncup can be used overnight and when travelling, swimming or exercising.

Safer
Made from soft medical grade silicone, the Mooncup is latex-free and contains no dyes, BPA, toxins or bleaches. It's also great for women with sensitive skin.

Tampons can cause dryness and leave fibres behind. The Mooncup is designed to respect your natural balance.

Greener
On average, one woman will use over 11,000 tampons or pads in their lifetime, which will end up in landfill or in the sea.

Cheaper
One woman uses up to 22 items of sanitary protection every period. Regardless of your flow, you only need one Mooncup, and it lasts for years and years, making it the most economical sanitary product you can buy.

How do I use it?
Each Mooncup comes with a comprehensive Usage Guide with full instructions on use and care of your Mooncup. Mooncup Ltd also has an Advice Centre for any queries because, like anything new, using the Mooncup correctly can take a little practice.

We recommend you empty your Mooncup every 4-8 hours. As with tampons, it's important to have clean hands when removing and inserting the Mooncup. Then simply rinse your Mooncup and reinsert.

Which size?
The Mooncup is available in two sizes:‘A' and ‘B'. Size A measures 46mm in diameter and 50mm in length. Size B measures 43 mm in diameter and 50mm in length. Both sizes have a pull stem 21mm long, which you can trim to the length that is right for you.

Size A
Because vaginal and pelvic floor tones naturally reduce with age, the size ‘A' Mooncup is recommended for women aged 30 or over. The difference between the ‘A' and the ‘B' is only small (3mm), but it is crucial!

Size ‘A' is also recommended for all women who have given birth vaginally, regardless of age.

Size B
Designed for young girls and women under the age of 30 who have not given birth vaginally. It may also be suitable for women over the age of 30 who have had corrective surgery to the vagina, or who are advanced in tone-maintaining activities such as yoga, dance or pilates.
