Mooncup alternative?

Hi. Ok so I've been using a Mooncup for over 10 years. As someone who had to use duvet-type sanitary pads as a teenager they're a godsend, I love how I can just put it in and forget about it for hours.

When I got to over 30 I got the bigger size. I don't have kids but it said "or over 30" so I went for that one. And I've been using that one for years as well, however it is very rigid which can be a bit sore to insert and fiddle about with and for the last year or so I seem to just be leaking quite a lot, more than I'd usually experienced. I bought a couple of pairs of period pants to help with this but it's still gross and I'm wondering if I should look into other options.

Can anyone recommend a reusable cup that's similar to mooncup in dimensions I guess but less rigid and easier to insert, that doesn't leak everywhere?

Thanks for any recs!

You need the ‘put a cup in it’ quiz. If you google it it’ll guide you through questions and suggest the best one for you off that.

I use a Saalt cup that i’d never heard of but it really does suit me

Thanks, oh funny I did the quiz and it suggested that brand for me as well! I'll check it out. Another option was Lunette 2.

Hello also a mooncup user but been having Leaks and difficulty inserting so decided to get a new one. Not moon cup can't remember the brand but having the same issues
It's like I can't get it in right to open up (sorry tmi) so then it leaks and it's becoming so stressful

I swear by the ‘Instead 12hr menstrual cup’ I have very heavy periods and this keeps things under control.

I like a me Luna. But if the large is t suiting you have you tried the smaller size that suited you previously?
