I've had my mooncupfor about a year now, and it has been one of the best things I've ever bought. It is a silicon cup you use in place of a tampon. No environmental impact, no absorption of your normal vaginal secretions, no danger of toxic shock, no more money spent every month on tampons.

Only one of my friends has tried it, and most of them seem to think it is a weird hippy Karen sort of thing that only a lunatic who used real nappies would do. (Real nappies are easy nowadays, but this is even easier).

I bought my sister one for Christmas, and she was most unimpressed. Then finally, after much persuasion on my part and much whingeing on hers, last week she used it, and now she is as evangelical as me.

Everyone, get one NOW! Even the men! They're GREAT!
