The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup, around two inches long & made from soft medical grade silicone. It is worn internally a lot lower than a tampon but, while tampons & pads absorb menstrual fluid, the Mooncup collects it. This means it doesn’t cause dryness or irritation, & also that it collects far more (three times as much as a tampon!). Because the Mooncup is reusable, you only need one so it saves you money & helps the environment, too. The Mooncup is designed to be folded & inserted into the vagina, then removed, rinsed & 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 & reinsert. Comfortable, convenient & safe: the Mooncup can be used overnight & when travelling, swimming or exercising.
