| GreenBeans is an approved distributor of Mooncups®
The Mooncup® is available in two models.
Model A is recommended for women who have given birth vaginally - or who are aged 30 years or above.
Model B is recommended for women who have not given birth vaginally, and are aged below 30.
Please ensure that you select the correct model. For hygiene reasons we cannot exchange Mooncups® once they have been dispatched.
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 an organic compound which is derived from sandstone. It will not cause irritation and is suitable for women who have an allergy to rubber products.
The Mooncup® can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, by boiling or by popping it in the dishwasher!
Unlike tampons, the Mooncup® menstrual cup is reusable, eliminating the need to carry bulky spares. With proper care your Mooncup® will last for at least ten years.
Imagine the towels and tampons that you will be disposing of in landfill sites during that time!
The Mooncup® Menstrual Cup is manufactured in the UK.
The Mooncup® is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.
The Mooncup® will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup® without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup® less frequently than you currently replace pads or tampons.
Correctly inserted, the Mooncup® is so comfortable that you will forget it exists. It may take a little practice at first as you need to find the angle and position that is right for you.
Once you have perfected it you will be amazed at how simple the Mooncup® is to use. You will need to empty, rinse or wipe and reinsert your Mooncup® every four to eight hours depending on your flow. The fluid remains inside the cup, and the process is not messy or uncomfortable.
The Mooncup® can safely be used overnight and is great for all sports, swimming and travelling.
Your mooncup® will come with a usage manual that explains exactly how to use it.
Model A measures 46mm in diameter and 50mm in length.
Model B measures 43 mm in diameter and 50mm in length.
Both models have a pull stem 21mm long, which you can trim to the length that is right for you. |
