An alternative cup to Mooncup

6 replies

Started using Mooncup a few months back but despite using both the sizes they produce, first A, then the smaller B, I still have an issue.

It is stopping me from properly going for a wee, I know I want to, but I can't manage, or have to try really hard, and sometimes, it feels like burning. None of this happens when cup is not being used so it's only about the cup.

Has anyone had similar experience and found another cup that worked? I am wondering if I need something smaller and / or softer than the smaller size of the Mooncup and I know there's lots of brands around, especially from the US.

Anyone?

I dont know about specific ones for your anatomy, but im using a cheap version of a mooncup that was about £4 on ebay and its fine. Had it a couple of years and its basically the same as any otger mooncup/menstrual cup.
Have you cut the stem off?

Maybe have a look at a softcup I think they’re called, they’re a different shape and not reusable but might suit better?

I’ve got a duchess cup from amazon it’s softer and I think slightly smaller than a diva but i don’t know what that would be in relation to a moon cup
I actually decided on that one based on a YouTube comparison video - could you have a look at that or see if there is some comparison websites - it might make it easier to decide

I used to just use a natural sponge cut into a suitable size. Probably slightly more messy washing it out or just squeezing it out with toilet paper, but I never had problems with it leaking.

Yep, cut the stem off as it rubbed.

I tried out Eva cup as MC was too rigid. I got it working very well as it's softer.

Good luck it's worth hanging on to make it work.
