Does anyone with REALLY heavy periods, use a mooncup?

Tmi.....Ongoing issue with very heavy bleeding and large clots. Had settled a bit once I was on thyroxine but currently on week 2 of another heavy period. I was at work today and t to the toilets approx 3 times an hour, changing pads every time or every other time.

I do have a mooncup which I've used on lighter days. I wondered today about using it tomorrow when at work but have sone worries. Again, tmi. The frequent visits to the loo were because I could feel large clots passing. Often bigger than the mooncup. So I worry about the 'flow ' being held back, as it were. Also, the mess of emptying it in a tiny cubicle and having to exit the cubicle to wash hands. I just can't see how it would be feasible.

Would mooncup fans recommend for a teen? I am just wondering whether to get one for older teen. Any thoughts; I know they come in two sizes, so pre-baby one
