The story of Mooncup, the world’s first reusable silicone menstrual cup, began in 1999 when one cyclist shared the secret of this innovative product with another during a Critical Mass Bike Ride in the UK. At that time, menstrual cups were made of tough rubber and were not widely available, making them a choice only for the adventurous.

In 2000, Eileen, the second cyclist from the original encounter, met Su while traveling in Australia with her family. Eileen introduced Su to the concept of the menstrual cup, and its environmental and practical benefits deeply resonated with her. This serendipitous meeting marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship and a shared purpose.

Upon returning to the UK, Su started selling an imported rubber cup to her friends and their networks. However, as some reported discomfort and symptoms of latex allergy, Su realized that she needed to find a better solution. Drawing inspiration from her entrepreneurial upbringing, she conducted extensive research and developed a hypoallergenic alternative: the Mooncup, made from medical-grade silicone. In the spring of 2002, the Mooncup was born.

Since then, the Mooncup has gained popularity globally and is now available in over 50 countries. Mooncup Ltd, the company behind this transformative product, continues to lead the way as an employee-owned business with a dedicated and growing team. Millions of users have embraced the freedom that the Mooncup provides, replacing traditional tampons and pads. Satisfied users are passionate about sharing their life-changing experiences, leading to the word-of-mouth traction that has played a significant role in spreading the Mooncup’s story.
