5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product - takes some getting used to, but totally worth it if you can stomach it.

I read all of the reviews across different sites, I checked out a few different brands and sizes and models, and decided to just invest in something with positive reviews and easily available in my country (as I know they vary internationally). They all warned that insertion and removal are awkward at first, and that if you aren't comfortable touching yourself or getting your fingers bloody, then this product is probably not for you. And they were right - it is a little awkward and messy at first, but it is totally worth it! It is SO much cleaner than a pad, and less itchy, and can stay in there longer than a tampon without the risk of toxic shock, all of which is a massive plus for me. The first couple of months were hit and miss, as I didn't always get the positioning right and so the seal might not be complete, or if I was particularly thick/heavy that day then a little would come out after re-insertion. It's still a bit hit and miss, but I feel confident enough to wear panty-liners instead of full-sized pads, which is so much more comfortable. And mentally, knowing that the liner is just there as a safety net and that I'll probably not have any blood in there by the time I have to empty the cup next, it's just such a relief. Relief is the overriding feeling that I get from this product.I still think that this is not a product for the squeamish, but if you can handle it, then it's worth it. Such peace of mind, and not at the expense of the environment for once!Just some advice though - experiment with the different insertion techniques to find the best one for you (they are in the instructions that come with it). Also, you will need to buy a small pan to boil-clean your cup once every month or two - I find that a milk pan works, but just make sure you store it AWAY from your kitchen/cooking pans! And when you're out and about, always carry a bottle of water - if you need to empty your cup while you're out, and you can't access a disabled toilet with a sink inside the cubicle, you can simply remove the cup in a normal cubicle as you usually would and use the water from the bottle to pour over the cup to clean it. Wipes may work too, though I wouldn't want to put those chemicals inside me, so only use those if you don't plan on re-inserting.Lastly, when choosing the size, remember that this one (B) is supposed to be for ladies who are young, small in that area, or who have not had children. This affects the width, depth and consequently the capacity of the cup. I'm under 25, average size and have not have kids, and am on the pill which gives me a light flow. I rarely fill more than half the cup in 8-12 hours. To give you an idea of what that means - I use 2*-3* absorbancy pads, changing every morning and night. And I have no problem whatsoever with the capacity of this product. So if you're naturally light/normal flow, then you'll be fine with this. Even with a heavy flow you may be alright just by changing a little more often, especially if you're heavy but have a small vagina. You'll need to use your judgement here, but I think the size up (A) is more for those with heavier flows, or wider-set vaginas. Anyone else will probably be fine with this one.In terms of the seller, I have no issues to report. Correct product delivered within the time-frame advertised. No problems.Hope this helps!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth getting used to

J.C. · 28 January 2015

It took me about a week to get used to it but once I had, I have never looked back since. It has never leaked unless too full which takes a lot and means I am obviously having a heavy period.I can't tell it's there once fitted and is more comfortable then tampons.I've used it so I can go and do water sports or go to the gym etc without worry. It's super easy to clean and between uses, I literally wash it under really hot water with some hand soap (I make sure the water is always to hot to use on my hands directly temp wise) and then i rub it down with alcohol gel for a minute before washing that off as its quicker to clean it this way then boiling it and this method will still steralise it. Just dont leave it in the alcohol gel or it will damage the silicone.I have a coil fitted and it doesn't cause me any problems. I've used the same Mooncup for 6 years and its still perfectly fine, so I've actually saved myself close to £300 by buying a mooncup instead of forking out £5 odd every month on tampons so you soon make your money back within one year minimum. So its easy to use, efficient and money saving.Is it a bit messy sometimes removing and emptying, yes but you get used to it surprisingly quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect for women with menorrhaegia, but closest I think I will get

I am a girl with very heavy periods, which is inconvenient, expensive and sometimes embarrassing. On my second day, I usually can't last more than 20 minutes with changing and often just stay home, because it’s easier. I bought the Mooncup because I felt really wasteful using so many pads AND tampons. I had big expectations from this product, and it met them all. I managed to work with no paranoia and constant bathroom checks, my underwear and bed sheets have stayed dry and white.The instructions cover everything and the insertion part took me only a day to get used to. It is comfortable (no dry feeling like you get with tampons if it’s a slow day), holds a big volume, easy to clean. Taking it out is not as gross as everybody seems to say if you are careful and don’t tip it. The only thing that takes getting used to is figuring out the volume of blood you fill in a certain amount of time and therefore re-adjusting the number of your bathroom visits (I don’t have to go so often anymore :) ).Moreover, it is sometimes tricky to position the cup so it doesn’t press on your urethra (causing the feeling like you need to pee, or blocking you from completely emptying your bladder before removing your cup). To avoid this, push it a bit more inward (don’t be scared, use your muscles to push it back out later) until it sits comfortably. The reason this took me a couple of tries to figure out is because the instructions say the Mooncup should lay quite low, unlike tampons so I didn’t want to push it too far for starters.All in all, a great product. The amount of money it will save me and the amount of stress it has already reduced for me is incalculable. I am a definite convert!

No he probado otras marcas, así que no puedo comparar. Parece de buena calidad, para mí es cómodo y la verdad es que es un ahorro.Edito: Después de meses usándola puedo decir que estoy encantada. Primero, por olvidarte de si tienes o no tampones o compresas. Segundo, no notas que la llevas puesta, cosa que sí me pasaba con los tampones. Te terminas acostumbrando a ponerla y sacarla y se vuelve tan sencillo como un tampón. El truco para sacarla es pellizcarla con los dedos para que deje de hacer vacío dentro, y una vez que ya esté casi fuera, intentar doblarla un poco para que no moleste al salir. Suena más complicado de lo que es.El único inconveniente que le veo es el tener que usarlo en baños públicos, porque al sacarla hay que vaciarla y limpiarla un poco (aunque esto último en las instrucciones indican que no es necesario si por alguna razón no tienes acceso a un lavabo, con que lo hagas la siguiente vez que la cambies será suficiente). Yo la he llevado 8 horas y no se ha llenado, aunque eso supongo que dependerá de cada chica.Lo dicho, un gran invento :)

Tra le migliori - la svolta della vita

S. · 8 December 2018

Dopo un anno di utilizzo posso dire che è molto buona. Ci devi prendere la mano e devi imparare a conoscere il tuo corpo e capire quando va svuotata a seconda del flusso, ma dopo un po' è impossibile tornare agli assorbenti. Sia perché si ha la sensazione che il ciclo duri di meno, dovendoci pensare di meno, sia perché non si ha per nulla la sensazione di bagnaticcio o di un corpo estraneo. Quando la inserisci bene non la senti per nulla, nemmeno da seduta. Ormai la uso 24/24 (ma inizialmente per prenderci la mano ho preferito usarla solo di giorno e in casa per prendere confidenza). Finalmente non ho più il problema di dover stare attenta a come sono sdraiata la notte e aver l'ansia di macchiare tutto, o di andare al mare per 6 ore pensando di dovermi cambiare da qualche parte facendo acrobazie. Non ha perdite (se non quando è strapiena e va svuotata) e sciacquata con acqua fredda si apre più facilmente. Però dipende da tanti fattori, per capire se è la coppetta giusta conviene seguire le istruzioni che sul gruppo facebook "donne con la coppetta" per capire se si ha il pavimento pelvico giusto per la mooncup.

Von drei getesteten Cups endlich die richtige gefunden

L. · 24 April 2016

Mit 28 Jahren und schon immer einer ziemlich heftigen Monatsblutung hatte ich das stündliche Wechseln der Tampons an den starken Tagen endlich satt und habe die Menstruationstassen entdeckt und mich ausführlich erkundigt. Ich hatte nie geboren und meine Beckenbodenmuskulatur ist durch das ständige Zurückhalten der starken Blutung gut trainiert, was eher eine weiche und schmale Cup erfordern würde. Andererseits musste die Cup viel Flüssigkeit zurückhalten können und nicht überlaufen, musste also groß sein. Zusammengefasst; ich hatte nicht wenige Ansprüche an eine Cup und dachte mir bereits, dass ich einige würde ausprobieren müssen - schließlich ist jede Vagina so individuell wie die Frau selbst :-)Beim dritten Mal hatte ich endlich Glück: Mit der Mooncup B, 43 mm (http://www.Bolo.de/dp/B002WN6DBI, 25 Euro m. Versand), bin ich bisher sehr zufrieden und habe sie schon mehrere Monate in Gebrauch. Davor hatte ich bereits zwei Cups getestet (s. unten), leider nur mit negativen Erfahrungen.Der Stängel der Mooncup ist ausreichend lang (kann bei Bedarf abgeschnitten werden) und hat ausgeprägte Rillen, die beim Rausnehmen hilfreich sind. Das Material ist fest, das Rausnehmen aber nicht so schmerzhaft wie bei der LadyCup. (Größe B ist bei dem Modell die kleinere. Wenn also jüngere Frauen Probleme befürchten, sollten sie ein anderes, kleineres Modell probieren, z.B. fleurcup oder Lunette, beide 41 mm.)Auch an den starken Tagen muss ich jetzt nur 3-4 Mal wechseln und an den schwächeren kann ich sie den ganzen Tag drin lassen, ohne überhaupt einen Gedanken daran verschwenden zu müssen. Innen ist eine ml-Kennzeichnung, falls jemand die Menge bestimmen möchte. Alles in allem also ein genial durchdachtes Produkt!Die LadyCup in L, 46 mm (http://www.Bolo.de/dp/B001FZWPAC, 28 Euro m. Versand) war die erste Menstruationstasse, die ich ausprobiert hatte und leider für eine Frau mit 30, die noch nicht geboren hatte, definitiv zu groß. Die Unterschiede wären ja sicher nicht so gravierend, hatte ich mir gedacht, und damit komplett getäuscht.Das Material an sich ist ok, doch der Stängel viel zu glatt und kurz, sodass mir regelmäßig der Fingernagel beim Rausziehen kaputtging, bevor ich auf den Trick kam, diesen mit Toilettenpapier zu umschließen. Dennoch, gerade für Anfänger sehr schwer zu handhaben und zudem ist die Öffnung leider so weit und fest, dass es sehr schmerzhaft ist, den Cup zu entfernen. Ich habe sie mal behalten; nach einer Geburt ist diese Cup vielleicht eher zu gebrauchen. (Übrigens sind die Pads desselben Herstellers auch nicht zu empfehlen.)Danach probierte ich die MeLuna in S, 38 mm, mit Ring (http://www.Bolo.de/dp/B00IR7HL3W, 20 Euro m. Versand). Super praktisch finde ich den Ring zum Rausziehen, aber das war auch schon alles. Das Material ist sehr soft und biegsam, die Tasse in S eher ungeeignet für Frauen mit sehr starker Regelblutung. Das Schlimmste jedoch war, dass sich das Material nach nur wenigen Wochen trotz Reinigung zu verfärben und innen aufzulösen begonnen hat. Gesundheitlich unbedenklich? Ich weiß ja nicht, ich lasse dann lieber die Finger von dieser Tasse.Mein Fazit: Den richtigen Cup zu finden, mag knifflig sein, aber generell bin ich heilfroh, von Tampons umgestiegen zu sein. Nach einer Gewöhnungszeit und sobald man die wichtigsten Tricks raus hat (Wie wechsle ich eine Cup, wenn ich kein Waschbecken habe bzw. auf einer öffentlichen Toilette?), sind Cups richtig komfortabel. Endlich kein Schnürchen mehr, denn: 1. es stört beim Toilettengang, 2. man muss es verstecken, z.B. in der Sauna und 3. saugt es sich & den Tampon beim Baden mit bakteriellem Wasser / Urin voll und bringt Bakterien in die Scheide. Ein Auslaufen ist bei der richtigen Größe und Materialfestigkeit kaum möglich. Und das Beste: man spart sehr viel Müll, entlastet damit die Umwelt und seinen Geldbeutel. Daher jeder Frau nur zu empfehlen!

best quality menstrual cup i could find

E.W. · 27 January 2018

I was very iffy about these cups in general - I didn't know what they were made out of, if they would leach anything in me, if the colored ones were safe... BUT i was open to the idea of them.So one day I was looking at posts in a Zero waste group on facebook and someone posts something about this moon cup. So I checked it out and it seemed to be what i was looking for if i were to get one - it wasnt colored like other cups out there and it seems to be the best/safest quality material out there.there are two sizes out there "A" is for over age 30 and/or if you have given birth vaginally."B" is if you are under 30 and have not given birth vaginally.I'm not exactly sure what the difference is but I am 25, and i have given birth vaginally BUT I am also 5ft 100lbs so I decided to go with B anyway.I got it a few weeks back and I got to try it out last week. I definitely love that I have a Zero waste menstrual cycle saves me money and the planet for a win-win!So it fits good and I could barely feel it. my only issue is when trying to take it out. I have to figure out how to get it out without it getting suctioned. i guess its common with all these cups.. I'm sure I'll find a method with more use. but otherwise I am very satisfied with this product!

Recensito dalla mia ragazza

Prodotto di ottima fattura, in silicone medico anallergico. A differenza di assorbenti e tamponi tradizionali, offre un senso di pulizia e un confort strabiliante a chi sarà disposto ad applicarsi (inserirla e toglierla non è infatti così immediato, servono almeno 3-4 cicli completi per diventare esperte)Ho comprato questo prodotto piuttosto a caso, senza avere la minima idea di quali criteri vanno seguiti nella scelta di una coppetta mestruale, oltre all'età e all'aver avuto o meno parti naturali va considerato: l'altezza della cervice, la tonicità del pavimento pelvico, la quantità di flusso mestruale e la presenza di sensibilità (emorroidi, sensibilità vescicali o altro).Essendo una coppetta tonica e scattante non è infatti consigliata a chi ha forte sensibilità, d'altra parte ha il vantaggio di aprirsi facilmente e creare il sottovuoto senza troppi problemi (presenta 6 fori per il sottovuoto). La capienza (che si misura in corrispondenza dei fori) è di 17ml quindi suggerisco a chi ha un ciclo medio-abbondante di orientarsi su altre coppette più capienti per i giorni i flusso maggiore (personalmente in quei giorni mi dà un'autonomia di 2 ore circa, poi va svuotata).In conclusione: super consigliato come dispositivo sostitutivo agli assorbenti tradizioni per una serie di vantaggi significativi, quello ecologico in primis, ma anche da un punto di vista igienico (rischio di TSS praticamente nullo, non crea secchezza e non crea un ambiente favorevole alla riproduzione di batteri, tanto che può essere tenuta per 12 ore senza alcun problema)Non tanto consigliata per donne con flusso abbondante perché poco capiente.
