I had no idea what this was, so googled it ! "The Mooncup Menstrual cup is a healthy and environmentally friendly alternative to tampons"

I've been using one for 3 years.
It's a lot more comfortable than it looks - better than tampons actually 'cos the Mooncup doesn't dry out.

I'll have to buy a new one after bubs is born though, they have two sizes - one for women who haven't given birth and one for the mamas!

they're supposed to be really good, comfy and not leak, and you can put them in, in anticipation....so if you're super regular and you know that you're always gonna come on around a certain time....they're fab. I've heard of women wearing white (yes!!! white!!!) trousers during AF cause the moon cup doesn't leak.

I don't have one cause I can't use them....but I would if I could
