Mooncup is a UK-based menstrual cup brand that provides a more eco-friendly and reusable alternative to traditional sanitary products.
Mooncup was founded in 2002 by Su Hardy, who wanted to offer a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option for menstrual care.
The brand initially faced some resistance and stigma surrounding menstrual cups but has grown to become a well-known and popular option.
Mooncup is now sold in over 50 countries worldwide.
Divacup is another well-known menstrual cup brand that was founded in 2003. It offers similar benefits of sustainability and reusability as Mooncup.
Lena Cup is a menstrual cup brand that focuses on providing a comfortable and leak-free experience for users.
Saalt Cup is a menstrual cup brand that is committed to providing sustainable and ethical menstrual care.
The Size A Mooncup is recommended for users who are over 30 years old, have given birth vaginally, or have a particularly heavy flow.
The Size B Mooncup is recommended for users who are under 30 years old and have not given birth vaginally.
To clean your Mooncup, rinse it with water and then boil it for 5-7 minutes. You can also use a menstrual cup cleaner if you prefer.
This can vary depending on your flow, but it's generally recommended to empty your Mooncup every 4-8 hours.
While there may be a bit of a learning curve when first using a menstrual cup, once you get the hang of it, it is generally not messy. Many users actually find it less messy than using traditional sanitary products.
It is generally safe to use a Mooncup with an IUD, but it's always best to check with your doctor or gynecologist before using any menstrual products.
A Mooncup can last for several years with proper care and cleaning.
