Because this is a high-traffic community, chances are that your question has already been answered. Please read through the recent posts and check the memories and tags before posting. What are menstrual cups?Menstrual cups are worn internally, holding (instead of absorbing) monthly flow. There are five types of reusable cups available, and they are bell-shaped and worn low in the vagina. The Divacup, the Mooncup, the Keeper Moon Cup and the Lunette are made of medical grade silicone, and the Keeper is made of natural gum rubber (latex). The Divacup is slightly larger than the other reusable cups, which makes it particularly useful for those with a very heavy flow, but it may be too large for some women built on a smaller scale. There is also a disposable cup, called the Instead, which is shaped more like a diaphragm and worn higher up.

Manufacturers and some suppliersThis list is incomplete and changes all the time, so if you cannot see a supplier for the cup you want near you, check their website or contact them directly. Additionally, some cup manufacturers (e.g. the UK Mooncup or the Lunette) ship internationally at no extra cost. If you are going to buy a UK Mooncup, we'd be very happy if you do so via the link here, since that way we get affiliate points.  The Divacup (Canada) - Order and helpline: 1-519-896-9103 or freephone 1-866-444-3482Typically takes 1-2 weeks to arrive. If you cannot find a confirmation e-mail, check your junk mail folder.

This is also true of some non-eBay retailers. If in any doubt, contact the original manufacturer. If you see an eBay auction which is breaking the rules of eBay, for instance by trade mark violation or keyword spamming, then please report them to eBay. Check for logos, and look particularly carefully at anything labelled a "Mooncup" or "Moon Cup", as this is the main area of confusion.
