Lunette

Good until the stem snapped off – ~~UPDATE EDIT- I was contacted by the MD of the Australian distribution company for Lunette who wanted to send me a replacement product. He arranged this within 24 hours and sent me the lunette wash and individual cup wipes for me to try also (these small individually wrapped sachets are excellent to keep in your bag). I was SO impressed by his… Read more

attitude to right the wrong when it came to the customer service I had experienced. Here’s hoping this cup can last me a lot longer. Thank you Lunette for having a distribution company in Australia that goes the extra mile for customers.~~

I liked the Lunette however terrible customer service not willing to replace my cup when the stem completely broke off at the base while trying to pull it out. Not worth the stress trying to deal with their customer service people who want you to send photos (gross) and answer all their questions but still not agree to send a replacement if you do that. Ok - see ya Lunette.. you obviously don’t believe in your product then if you’re not willing to replace it when the entire stem breaks.

Clean, comfy & over 6 hrs of no leaks! – I had my first Lunette cup for almost 7 years and absolutely love it now I'm reordering another! Once I quickly got used to inserting it it is very comfortable can't feel it at all (I trimmed off the little tail on the bottom of it). A lot cleaner than pads/tampons, and no tampon leaks. Less dirty feeling time with less changes, in the morning I… Read more

empty in toilet and use the wipes to clean it, night time I empty and clean with its soap in the shower. And it saves money as its reusable. Best thing ever has absolutely changed my periods for the better! I recommend to everyone!

This cup has changed my life.... The best purchase I've ever made! – I absolutely love the Lunette Menstrual Cup! It is so easy to insert and remove and is extremely comfortable, I didn't even know it was there half the time... Cleaning is really easy and I just love the fact that it's a sustainable solution to period care. Have had mine for about a year or so and looks like I just bought. Could not recommend this brand enough. Show details

So uncomfortable. No customer service – Bought this today, followed the instructions and the stem HURT. I read all the FAQs, googled, and trimmed the stem to the first marker (even though they give ZERO direction on how to trim). Reinserted and it STILL HURT. I thought, maybe I’ll get used to it, so I gave it a go, but after a few hours I was still in so much pain I took matters into my… Read more

own hands and cut the stem completely off to the very beginning of the STEM. It’s STILL HURTING!! I tried the chat bot, I lodged a query for a real human to respond, but nothing. They don’t have a phone number to call, and they don’t give any help or advice on what to do if it’s hurting you. This is a business interested in your money, not in you. Look elsewhere, there have to be more comfortable options than this. I’ve wasted $50 of mine, but you don’t have to. Sad face.

Never going back! – I kept seeing ads on my social media about cups and I really wanted to try one. I bought the size 1 off lunette and it is amazing and I will never go back to pads and tampons. There are so many benefits of a cup over pads and tampons. The only con is that it is slightly more difficult to use however its like anything and you will get the hang of… Read more

it after a couple goes. It took me about 2-3 goes of struggling and then after that I was absolutely loving it. I am also only a teenager and I highly recommend trying it out!

Why didn't I try it sooner?! – I was hesitant to try a menstrual cup but thought I'd take the plunge and give it a go. This is a serious game changer!!! No leaks, mess of smell. Such a great product. Show details

Never going back – Bought this a year ago after seeing reviews on youtube (not this brand). It's as easy as a tampon to insert. I usually empty it twice during the first two days of my period (once in the morning, once at night) and then once a day til the end. It can be a little difficult to grab if it's been in for a while as it tends to make its way up but… Read more

usually it's fine. I remove and clean it in the shower and have had no problems. I don't experience any leaks. I've not used pads or tampons ever since buying it. Definitely worth the money. I just feel cleaner.

This is amazing! – It's quite a long time since I wanted to switch to cups,but was not sure which one I should try.i did a lot of research and finally decided to go for lunette.i ordered size 1 cup and fortunately in very first attempt,It was perfect fit.its my second cycle now and I can't tell you how happy I feel about this.the product is good,it's not hard rather… Read more

I don't even feel that something is there inside.i will give 100 on 100 for this cup.thanks lunette for making my period worry free.

Pretty good trustworthy product – I wanted to try one and have experimented with other cup brands and I really believe that lunette is superior. Their cup is the right size without being painful and the silicon is flexible. Only downside with all of the cups is that I was hopeful that I could depend just on the cup for my entire month (I.e without panty liners) but I find that… Read more

despite knowing how to use it there is still a bit of leakage but no more than a tampon. I much prefer them to tampons now. But still have to use panty liners. Also cleaning them is a bit of a nuisance. But overall better product than tampons.

Buy it! Don’t hesitate! – I initially wanted to purchase a menstural cup for environmental reasons but have been so impressed with the practicalities and cleanliness of using it. I did some research and settled on the lunette brand due to reviews commenting that this brand was easier to remove than others because of the matte finish and grip. Despite having had 2 children,… Read more

I opted for size 1 because I only ever have one day during my cycle that is quite heavy. I was also concerned as to whether the larger cup might be more uncomfortable. Size 1 has been perfect for me. When I received it, it took a month before I had the courage to try it, but I needn’t have worried. I was surprised how easy it was as to insert and remove. It has made my cycles mess free (no more stained towels or underwear or smelly bins of used tampons). I wish these were around when I was in my teens/twenties. If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to a menstural cup, don’t hesitate! Research what brand/size might work for you and you’ll never look back!

Absolutely love! – When inserted correctly I cant feel the cup and don't even really know I have my period. It's clean, economical and environmentally friendly. I don't even have to worry about leaks. I always disliked using pads and tampons and now I have found the perfect solution. I will never go back and will teach my girls about using them. Initially the first… Read more

few times the insertion and removal can be tricky and I had to trim the stem as it was uncomfortable but now its very easy and I'm so happy I have found this. I think every woman needs one!!

Amazing! – After always having issues with tampons absorbing liquid every time I went to the bathroom, I had enough and wanted to find a more durable option. I absolutely love the Lunette diva cup!! I honestly forget I am even on my period when using it. I never feel it, never have any leaks and can keep it in for up to 12 hours! So easy to wash/wipe between… Read more

use and can continuously last with just a boil each month. It’s comfortable even after the first use, and you learn your way around inserting/removing super quickly. You can literally do anything with it in. I’m obsessed and will never go back to anything else. A massive bonus is the one off cost to purchase and then regularly purchasing cleaning items.

Game. Changer. No word of a lie – OMG. Brilliant..... i cant believe I waited so long. Initially, i was hesitant in getting a menstrual cup (MC). What if it doesn't work? What if it's uncomfortable? They are expensive afterall... A girlfriend kept telling me how brilliant they were so I got over my objections and decided to give it a shot. I have a daughter. One day she will… Read more

need to know her options so that persuaded me.

Did some research. Read some reviews. Decided on Lunette mainly for the matt finish and short stem. Got the model 2 as I've had 2 bubbas.

From the first moment I tried it I knew. Game changer. A little tricky at first and initially I did feel like it was going to vacuum my cervix out of my body but I figured it out.

Easy to clean. Matte finish makes inserting and removing easier. I like that I can understand my flow a lot better and no skin reactions due to fabrics, fragrances etc

Do yourself and the environment a favour!

Love love love – I’ve been using my cup for 3 cycles now, working great! I love that my bins are free of pads/tampons at the end of the cycle! I’ve handmade some cloth pads just for a peace of mind and they’ve never been stained (I’ve never had a leakage). I did my homework, to be honest, I watched so many videos on YouTube to make sure I was getting the cup that… Read more

was right for me. I asked Lunette before purchasing about the right size and they answered promptly.

I’m super happy with my cup! I got the clear one and after the first cycle it was a bit less clear, but I’ve put it in the sun for an hour and went back to its original colour.

Do your research and check the best ways to put it in and remove it.. it’s actually pretty easy with the fantastic grip it has :)

Absolutely thrilled – FINALLY, thanks at my sister's suggestion, I got myself a menstrual cup. Can't say exactly why I chose the Lunette but it seems to suit me just fine. I have only been using it for a few days and it has worked very well for me. PROS * Very comfortable - when inserted correctly * No leaks (have had my 2 heaviest days and the Lunette coped… Read more

fine)

* Easy to remove - when I got my technique right. This can be a bit daunting the first time as you tend to tense up.

CONS

* None so far. I did experience some minor cramping but I sometimes get dull cramps on my heaviest days so I don't think the Lunette was to blame for those.

For anyone considering getting one of these, I would suggest that you do your homework because there are so many different types of cup on the market and what works for one person may not be the right choice for another. The Lunette is apparently of medium firmness (meaning the silicone). I got the size 2 as I'm 48, still have relatively heavy periods and have had a child (albeit by caesarian section).

I can also suggest watching this YouTube video which has some excellent tips on using a menstrual cup which would be very useful for "first-timers". It's titled 10 Best Menstrual Cup Hacks.

How you use a menstrual cup (inserting and removing) will definitely affect its performance and they can be a bit tricky to get the hang of but if you persist and find the right cup for you - I think it's well worth the investment.

Honestly reach for this cup more often than my Juju cup! – Bought a Lunette size/model 2 menstrual cup because I have given birth previously. Tried it after the birth of my first (when I got my period back postpartum, not for lochia/immediate postpartum bleeding) on/off for several cycles and resumed using it when I got my period back postpartum with my 2nd baby. I found that it's perfect for me. The cup… Read more

is firm enough without being uncomfortable and I found I'm able to remove it easily. I'd recommend a softer cup like the Juju before trying this one, just so you can get the hang of inserting and removing a menstrual cup before trying a firmer cup like this one.

I also use Lunette's feelbetter menstrual cup cleanser to sanitize the cup before boiling it for 5 minutes at the end of every cycle. Fantastic brand, their menstrual cup is honestly my goldilocks cup!

Pleasantly surprised! – I have been using tampons for years. I have considered purchasing a menstrual cup for some time now due to health, financial and environmental reasons. I finally did some research and decided to purchase the Lunette. Well, what can I say. This cup is fantastic and although I haven't tried others, I have found this one easy to use and clean. I do… Read more

feel that they need to include some english instructions as I had to do a bit of a google/youtube on how to use it as the brochure included was in a few different languages but unfortunately not english. Nevertheless, I will continue to use this product and am so pleased because environmentally, it's much better and it's definitely better on the hip pocket (those expensive organic tampons!!) Works for me!

Amazing menstrual cup! – I cannot say enough good things about my Lunette menstrual cup. It's soft and easy to insert, but firm enough to open easily when it's inside. I have had no issues with leaking using this cup, it offers me much more protection than pads and tampons. I also have iron deficiency anaemia, and using this cup has given me a much better idea of how much… Read more

blood I'm losing to tell my doctor. This cup is so comfortable and gives me so much more confidence during my period, I cannot recommend it enough. I will never go back to pads and tampons!

Much better for me than another cup I used – Whilst I can't use cups on my heaviest days, as I would be emptying every twenty minutes, they are awesome for the other days. For heavy days, I would have to have an enormous 150 m cup! And 250ml for overnight! Set and forget on a light day, though. I was out for 14 hours yesterday, didn't think about it, fresh clean underwear, no bunchy pads,… Read more

no dangerous tampons with fiddly strings.

This Lunette brand was better for me for three reasons. The surface is matte and not smooth like the other brand. This means that when I bear down, it moves down more easily. The other brand was so slippery it would take ages to come down, and then when I tried to grip it, it would slip back up too easily. Just that tiny bit of surface friction made a huge difference.

Secondly, the stem. The stem is a bit stiffer, quite flat and has very pronounced grip lines. I could feel it, but it didn't rub unduly. Some people like to cut it shorter, or cut it off, but I quite liked being aware of where the cup was situated, I may shorten it by 5ml or so in future. I really loved it, as I was able to bear down, hold the stem, relax while holding it in position, and then bear down again. This was a godsend to my long nail fingers - I didn't cut my inner self whilst fishing around for the smooth slippy, too flexible stem on the other cup.

Which brings me to the third point - the grip rings on the base. These Lunette grip rings are a joy after the other one. These are big and pronounced and soooo easy to grip. The other smooth cup has useless flat little butterflies, that may as well not be there and useless to long finger-nails me. I fished for ages for that thing, whilst I grabbed and removed the Lunette first time, every time, no troubles!

I really wanted the other Australian product to work for me, but it didn't.

I love that Lunette is made in Finland - I trust their manufacture. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a cup made in China, or some of the other places.

I would trust Australia, Canada, Germany, USA, most of the Scandi countries, such as Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the rest, you get the idea - and UK and France. That's about it.

The other thing was that I found the Lunette wanted to open much more easily than the other brand.

I love that they offer a clear cup - my personal instinct is to avoid dyes, even though they are encapsulated by the silicon and inert. I just have a hunch about that that I'm willing to go with, even though I'm more evidence based in general.

Thumbs up for Lunette.
