about Mooncups

[Noonesfool]

Being absolutely amazing? I was a Mooncup virgin until this month. It's great! I had NO IDEA about the really cool suction thing.

I don't understand why they are not more widely promoted as an envirinmentally and body friendly choice. And surely they, with the appropriate funding, could be a great mentstruation product for women in poverty/crisis situations?

Hello. This thread is a little old now. Take a look at our round-up of Mumsnetters’ favourite menstrual cups - with a handy guide to finding and using the right cup for you - for more up-to-date advice. MNHQ.

I must admit, I don't understand how the tilt of your uterus could have any bearing on your ability to use a mooncup.
If your vagina can accommodate a penis, it can accommodate a menstrual cup.
You might need to look at different cups to see which would suit your vagina better. Just look at the different shapes and sizes. Some people prefer slender, others prefer softer, others want a large capacity. There's lots to choose from.

I loved it for a month, but the next it leaked :s need to try it again next month!

On the unfolding issue... A few people have said put higher up... Cups are designed to sit lower and we are used to putting ta probs higher up. I found it I went 'too high' it wasn't unfolding and then it was leaking. Takes a bit of conditioning to trust that it should sit lower. Same with the feeling of it. I can't feel it went out in correctly.
