In which areas does Mooncup perform well?
Mooncup performs well across almost all aspects of our Period Products assessment.
For instance, Mooncup receives a top rating in our Environmental Report category, due to its positive environmental commitments and the sustainability of its products.
Mooncup was also awarded a top rating for the Vegetarian/Vegan category, as the brand has achieved certification from The Vegan Society, which confirms that no animal ingredients are used in the manufacture of its products.
What makes Mooncup so sustainable?
Mooncup is an innovative alternative to tampons, offering all the comfort and convenience without the cost, waste, or potential health risks.
Manufactured by a small ethical business in the UK, the soft silicone cup is worn internally, collects rather than absorbs menstrual fluid, and can be reused for every period.
One Mooncup will last for years, so it is eco-friendly and avoids the waste and expense of regularly purchasing disposable period products.
Additionally, Mooncup is involved in charity work and projects, addressing important issues such as period poverty, women’s education, and plastic pollution. This also involves donating Mooncup products to vulnerable women and girls across the world.
