Mooncup
The Mooncup is a reusable
menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft medical grade silicon.
The benefits of the Mooncup are simply too essential to ignore as it has been
designed with the priorities of women and our times in mind. No sacrifice in
comfort, health and convenience have to be made in order to choose this
eco-sustainable product.
The Mooncup is comfortable!
The soft material of the Mooncup is smooth and malleable, responding to the
changing positions of the wearer. These factors make the Mooncup easy to insert
(no dry fibrous texture as with tampons) and once inserted correctly, it is
extremely comfortable.

The Mooncup is healthy! It is
worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than
absorbing: this is essential in maintaining the natural moisture and balance of
the vaginal environment. Medical grade silicon is substance which is
hypo-allergenic and inert, causing no reaction or allergies in the body
whatsoever.
The Mooncup is green and
sustainable! Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you
only need to buy one. The average woman uses 10-12000 pads or tampons in her
lifetime, to the great detriment of the environment and healthy plumbing
systems. One Mooncup lasts for ten years making it the cheapest menstrual
product on the market. The once-off investment in a sustainable product will
save you 10 times what you would have spent on disposables.
The Mooncup is convenient! The
Mooncup has a high capacity, holding 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third
of the average fluid released during each period. A light seal is formed with
your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup
without leakage or odour. The Mooncup is removed 2- 4 times per day (on
average) and is simply emptied, rinsed and re-inserted. You will probably find
that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace
towels or tampons. The Mooncup is ideal for exercise traveling and sleep alike.
In between periods just boil in water for 5 minutes and this will sterilize
your Mooncup. It can then be stored in its organic cotton pouch until the next
cycle begins.
To summarize, the Mooncup is:
* Soft, comfortable and
convenient
* Invisible and secure
* Ideal for exercise and travel;
safe for sleep
* No harmful exposure to
bleach and chemicals
* No risk of allergy; helps
avoid thrush/dryness
* Recommended for heavy and
light flow
* No waste and pollution.
* Lasts for several to ten
years
* You only need one Mooncup
* 10 times cheaper than
disposable products.
* A financially sustainable
investment.
* FDA approved; won many
awards abroad.
* Over 1500 South African
women use it.
* That's 15 million less
tampons in oceans and land fills so far.
COMMENTS:
'Moon cups are great! I'm close to menopause, but I'm glad i discovered them in the last couple of years, anyway...Once I was on a trip and i'd forgotten to bring mine. I was in a pinch and actually went out and bought a 2nd one! because i believe in them so much, and i couldn't, in all good conscience, go back to paper products -- even though it meant spending a lot more $$$.'
'I have been using my mooncup for just over 2 years now and its such a relief to know that I have protection always and not to worry about going to the shops to 'stock up'. I also go to sleep with my mooncup inserted and its so much more comfortable, safer and 'dry' than pads. I feel good about doing my part to keep the enviroment clean.' South Africa

on exchange rates.
WHICH
SIZE?
The Mooncup is available in two sizes.
Size A measures 46mm in diameter ad 50mm in length.
Size B measures 43 mm in diameter ad 50mm in length.
Both sizes have a pull stem 21mm long,
which you can trim
to the length that is right for you.
Size A is recommended for women who have
given birth vaginally
or who have had a caesarean
section and aged 30 or above.
Size B is recommended for women who have
not given birth
or who have had a caesarean
section and aged below 30.
Please ensure that you select the correct size.
For hygiene
reasons we cannot exchange
Mooncups once they have been dispatched.
Please note that women over the age of 30 years
old are
increasingly likely to need the size A regardless
of giving
birth. This is because the tone of vaginal
and pelvic floor
muscles naturally reduces with age
but to varying degrees
in different women. Some
activities will maintain tone, such
as yoga, pilates,
dance, so if you are advanced in any these,
or
similar activities take this into consideration when
choosing
which size you need. Corrective surgery
to the vagina will
also have implications.
