Mooncup- effective or not????

[llouou]

Only just found out about the mmoncup and would like to get an opinion. I have recently started my first period since giving birth. It is alot heavier than before getting pregnant and seems to be going on forever. (3 Weeks so far)
Does the mooncup work and would you recommend it?

yes and yes!

Search archives for lots of other mooncup threads!

will do, thanks,

Yes, and yes.

Takes a few cycles to get the hang of it, though. You need to cut the stalk off quite close to the main cup bit, otherwise it's uncomfortable and more likely to leak. It holds at least as much as a super-plus tampon without leaking, though may need to use a pad as backup overnight if bleeding is heavy. When bleeding heavily, you need to empty it quite often, but only once a day or so when bleeding is light. It doesn't have the drying effect of tampons, which is a big plus.

Another yes and yes.

Does take a bit of practice (but then so did tampons at first).

Wish I had bought one years ago.
