    For this price I would defo recommend trying these out!

    They won't be everyone's cup of tea but once you get used to getting it in and out I think they're great, and definitely way more hygienic than traditional sanitary products!

    :eek::eek:

    I'm gonna go for it!!!!

    Had been on depo for years and didn't even need to think about periods which was brilliant. I've had to switch to nexplanon and unfortunately my periods have returned :( Gutted!!

    EDIT:
    Mooncup and femmecup are the same but different??? Mooncup has 2 different sizes. But I didn't have to select a size when ordering femme... :huh:

  • I bought the mooncup from boots for £21.99 a few months ago and don't like it at all, I prefer tampons so much more easier to get out no faffing about & no uncomfortable stem if you cut it off it takes ages to get the damn thing out but great product overall if you don't mind fiddling about


    If you cut the stem right off you can just pinch the bottom of the cup- that breaks the suction and out it comes.
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    I have an absolute nightmare with tampons in that they always fall out :embarasse :embarasse

    Apparently!!

    After a quick look online I found out there's not much diff in it size wise there's 1ml diff in the width between this and a size a mooncup so just ordered one gotta be worth a go lol ;-)
