I have a mooncup and have used it for around 6 years. Wow think of all the money saved and how many cycles worth of tampons I have not had to dispose of!!

Every few cycles I give mine a good clean just by soaking it in nappysan, it comes up all bright and looking like brand new.

I got caught once without it and it was the most aweful thing to have to go back to a tampon again.

Generally I can get away with emptying it 2-3 times a day at the start of AF and I usually only take it out during my morning shower on the last day or 2. It took me a few tries to get the position right but I cannot imagine ever not using my mooncup. I still have the first and only 1 though from memory they reckon you should probably replace them after 10 years.

For any of the ladies reading this who have tried unsuccessfully to use a cup, try a few more times, it is really worth the effort!
