Mooncups are reusable silicone menstrual cups that collect menstrual fluid internally instead of absorbing it like tampons. Unlike tampons which need to be frequently replaced and disposed of, mooncups only need to be purchased once and can be used for years. Mooncups do not disrupt the natural pH and moisture levels of the vagina like tampons can. They are also better for the environment since they do not contribute to landfill waste like disposable pads and tampons. Using a mooncup over a lifetime can save a woman thousands of dollars that could be spent on other things.
