This was to replace my previous one, which I’ve had for a few years.
This is equally as good, comfortable and easy to use.
Good quality product.
This is a replacement, I’ve been using these for years now and they are fantastic. This brand particularly are comfortable, easy to use and no leaks.
The cup is fairly comfortable and easy to put in and take out, however it leaks when it’s not even half full. This meant that I had to take it out every couple of hours on the first day of my period and put a pad in just in case, which defeats the purpose of a cup.
I genuinely expected much better from this cup, I have used the Mooncup in the past and never had any leaks. The reason why I wanted to try Luna was the ring, which made it slightly easier to take out.
Menstrual cups can be tricky to get the hang of to start with, but also, if the fit isn't right they will leak. They will leak if the cup is too small (it won't form a proper seal in your vaginal canal, because it's not touching the side properly), and they can also leak if they are too big (because the cup can't open fully, so it is sort of squished and again there is no seal. You probably have one of these issues going on I would think, unless you have very strong pelvic floor muscles which are pressing on the (correct size) cup and breaking the seal, in which case you should go for a SPORT cup rather than the CLASSIC. (This is part of the email I sent to the customer in reply to this review. I hope she found the right size in the end. Always feel free to contact us at HYF if you need any help at all with cup sizing)

Lovely hair ties. They arrived promptly.
Really love these, a gift for a friend
Good size and increases confidence with shape at back.
I first purchased from HYF a very long time ago, and my organic unbleached pads are still going strong, many years later. I cannot explain what a game changer these pads were (and still are) for me, with Endometriosis and PMOS. I just wish I'd known about them when I first started menstruation and it looked like a crime scene most days. I have since gone on to purchase a starter pack in readiness for my stepdaughter's turn, and have since purchased further pads to add to her collection - which, at 12, she thinks are awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wonderful company to anyone (and have done so, regularly). Please never change!
Such a beautiful rich green colour! If you have heavy periods and you want to try reusable pads... just buy this one and thank me later. It's big, covers all areas, makes you feel secure and is extremely addict against your skin. It's also really easy to wash and dry, can withstand 60 degree wash and being tumble dried when most others advise cold wash and line dry only. This particular design allows you to fully remove the insert and turn the pad fully inside out to thoroughly clean it. Because the insert is removable it dries so sticky for a thicker pad. Really well thought out pad from honour your flow. My pad of choice for my heaviest days and nights!
So I first tried mega pads during my last period and had such a great experience that I bought nearly all the colours including this cream one. The pads give me so much reassurance, feel soft and comfortable and extremely dry. I have a very heavy flow similar to post partum bleeding due to having the copper coil fitted and night time disposable pads were overflowing in 2hrs leaking onto my clothes. The design of the pad is great as you can turn it fully inside out to give it a good scrub. HYF pads are also the only pads that you can tumble dry, most reusable pads advise line dry only. I really wanted to challenge myself to see if I could get ALL the stains out of this light coloured pad and I did really easily... cold water rinse, bunchafarmers stain stick you can buy from here too, scrub it on, leave it for a little while and rinse... voila! All stains fully gone!
Used this pad for the first time yesterday on my heaviest night. It was my first time using reusable pads ever. I had no leaks, all areas were covered by the pad as its huge and super absorbent. I thought i hadn't bled that much as i was dry... until I rinsed the pad! What's great about this style is that its really easy to wash and dry. You can remove the extra internal layer and really give it a scrub and turn the whole pad inside out to clean it. This also makes drying easier and you can tumble dry it! So many non HYF pads are linedry only and some take 2 days to dry fully! The HYF one are by far the most well thought out easiest reusable pads out there!
Great product, I’ve been using them as a protection for weakening bladder and once I found the right size so they weren’t bulky they’ve been perfect. Super soft. Wash nicely and never had any issues with leakage
10/10. Doesn't feel like you're wearing anything but catches what it needs to and more! HYF just do everything right. If you're thinking about making the switch to cloth pads then this is the brand you need.
I love this product, easy to wear & wash, feels really comfortable & also good to know that I'm making a contribution to the environmental chaos of disposables
Excellent as always, high quality, great pads, delivered super fast. Decided to try the thong liners and they are fantastic. Cannot recommend the full range highly enough.
Phenomenal product!
I have bought quite a few of these over the years and absolutely love them.
Really useful great little bag
This is a repurchase after trying 1 mega pad to begin with and i then purchased nearly all the colours. Excellent coverage no leaks and offers security with easy use. The removable insert means you can take it out and give it a really good scrub after use to ensure that all stains are removed. You can easily turn the pad inside out to clean. Most of the blood came out just with cold water and any stubborn stains were swiftly removed with bunchafarmers stain remover stick which I also purchased from this site. One of the only reusable pads that can withstand a 60 degree wash and going in the tumble dryer makes these pads super easy to use. I use these on my heaviest days because they make me feel super secure. Seller is really lovely, knowledgeable and quick to respond!
Gorgeous pad, no leaks, covers all bits where you could have leaks, offers reassurance and reliable protection. Also one of the only reusable pads that you can wash up to 60 degrees and put in the tumble dryer. Makes using these really easy
