The Mooncup®

The Mooncup® Menstrual Cup, made of silicone

The Mooncup® is a bell shaped menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally and forms a seal with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup® without leakage or odour. It will hold an ounce of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup® less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.

The Mooncup® Menstrual Cup contains no bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency gels. It does not interfere with your healthy vaginal environment, nor has it been associated with toxic shock syndrome. The smooth surface of the Mooncup® allows the mucus membranes of your vaginal wall to continue their essential cleansing and protective functions. The Mooncup® does not absorb your body's natural defence mechanisms and will not deposit fibres in your vaginal wall. For your safety the Mooncup® is made from a special medical grade non-allergic silicone. Silicone is an organic compound which is derived from sandstone. It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women who have an allergy to rubber products. The Mooncup® can be cleaned by immersing in boiling water for a minute or so.

Unlike pads and tampons the Mooncup® Menstrual Cup is reusable, eliminating the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care your Mooncup® will last for at least ten years.

The Mooncup® Menstrual Cup is manufactured in the UK.
