My name is Jennie, and I use a mooncup. Like One Hot Crumpet, I am somewhat incredulous at the Clarkson-esque review that's been posted on amazon and linked around the internet. So, apparently, this lady had difficulty using a mooncup and decided to post a great long tl;dr full of hyperbole about how she couldn't get it in or out, and decided that because she couldn't do it anyone who said they could must be lying hippy earth mother types who want to make everyone else suffer.

Well, no.

Aside from the environmental and financial benefits, like OHC, I find it a lot less gross to have a mooncup than pads which stick to your pubes and stink or tampons which are uncomfortably drying and might give you toxic shock syndrome.

And, you know, the geek in me likes to examine consistency and volume of output. It's amazing the variation... Sorry, that was TMI, wasn't it?

Seriously though, why would anyone want to broadcast their incompetence with their own genitals so smugly?

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.
