The Mooncup®
The Mooncup® is a reusable menstrual cup, made of soft silicone. Worn internally low in the vagina it collects, rather than absorbs menstrual flow. It's a much healthier, cheaper alternative to tampons, and with a little practice it is very comfy and very easy to use.
How to use a Mooncup
As with anything new, a little practice is needed when you first start using the mooncup, but you should soon find it very easy.
First wash your hands. Rinse the mooncup under water, then fold it once, and fold it again, making it an appropriate size for insertion. It sits down low in the vagina, and once in it will open out, (some rotation may be needed) so that it forms a seal with the vaginal wall. To remove the mooncup, pinch the base - this will break the seal, then you can angle it downwards and out. Empty in the toilet, rinse and re - insert.
The mooncup has a stem at the bottom - this needs to be trimmed to a required length, a bit at a time until you can no longer feel it.
