The
Mooncup menstrual cup contains no bleaches, deodorisers or absorbency
gels. It does not interfere with your healthy vaginal environment,
nor has it been associated with toxic shock syndrome.
The smooth surface of the Mooncup allows the mucus membranes of
your vaginal wall to continue their essential cleansing and protective
functions. The Mooncup does not absorb your body's natural defence
mechanisms and will not deposit fibres in your vaginal wall.
The Mooncup will not cause irritation and is suitable for women
with sensitive skin, thrush, eczema or allergy.
For your safety the Mooncup is made from a special medical grade
non-allergic silicone. Silicone is derived from silica which is
one of the most abundant minerals on earth. The Mooncup is manufactured
in the UK.
The
Mooncup can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising
fluid, or by boiling for five minutes in an open pan of water.
Unlike
pads and tampons the Mooncup menstrual cup is reusable, eliminating
the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care your Mooncup will
last for several years.
Imagine the towels and tampons that you will be disposing of in
landfill sites during those years!
"I've
been using the Mooncup for three years and it has been fantastic.
I have a very heavy flow and used to use 2 x super plus tampons
at a time, and a pad as well, and I would still be in a mess in
an hour for the first 2 days of my period. Apart from saving me
a fortune, and not supporting pharmaceutical giants, it is much
gentler on your body than tampons. Try it, it is really worth
it."
