    It sounds good, but I would be concerned about toxic shock syndrome, I know it says a bit about it on the website, but it would still worry me. What to do? :confused:

    Much less risk of TSS with mooncup than with tampons as it doesn't absorb, just 'collects'. Just remember to empty and rinse it twice a day and boil/sterilise/dishwash! between cycles and it's more hygenic than tampons.

    I'm sure Mooncups come with a 3 month money-back guarantee if you don't get on with it, so nothing to lose!

    It's great! I've had mine for about six months and I won't go back to tampons. A brilliant money saver and you never have to worry about how many sanitary products to take on holiday ever again.

    Just wanted to add how much I love mine too. It took a couple of cycles to get used to it, but now I am an old pro :) I cut the stem right off as well, it made it much more comfy.

    I bought one after the recomendations on here and the first time I was a bit worried about leaving the house!! But I would just like to say no problems at all. I would recommend this product to everyone.

    It feels good to be doing something for the environment.
