WINNER: Ethical Consumer Best Buy Award ![](http://images.ethicalsuperstore.com/images/resize75/bestbuybutterfly%20blue.JPG"")
The Mooncup Reusable Menstrual Cup is an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to tampons. Made from a soft silicone it is designed by women for women. Reusable portable and cost-saving. Suitable for women with allergies.
It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it. Unlike a tampon the Mooncup is not disposable so you only need to buy one making the Mooncup a great alternative to disposable sanitary products.
Why is it better?
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.
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.
It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women with sensitive skin thrush eczema or allergy. 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!

The Mooncup is available in two sizes.
