Excellent product - takes some getting used to, but totally worth it if you can stomach it.
As pads are irritating and tampons are not fun to remove when dry, and neither are good for the environment, I decided to get a Mooncup (B). 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!!

Worth getting used to
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.

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!
