Mooncup after giving birth..


Just wondering how effective a mooncup would be versus maternity towels... im pretty sure you're not allowed to use tampons so i guess im not allowed to use a mooncup?

Hello,
I've been using a Mooncup very happily for the last year. I'm now expecting our first baby in October, and I wondered if I can use the Mooncup for the bleeding after the birth? I've heard that you shouldn't use tampons, but wondered whether the Mooncup would be OK.

Best wishes,
Kelly

Dear Kelly
It is not recommended to use internal protection for the first six weeks after giving birth. This is because of the increased risk of infection (after trauma to the vaginal tissues.) It would probably be a bit too tender as well! I would use washable cloths for this post birth bleed.

Good luck, and best wishes
Su
