I don't use a mooncup, but my wife does and has for a number of years now. Aren't they clear in colour now? Hers is a hardcore looking brown chunk of rubber. Her motivation is financial rather than anything particularly hippyish (she's a vegan, but about as far from what people might imagine when picturing a mooncup-wearing vegan).

Also, she's found it very easy to use and very easy to have space in her bag for, wrapped in a piece of clean cloth, ready to go when the need arises. It's always seemed like a decent little idea to me.
