OK, whose idea was this anyway?

Moon Pads were created by Pip, a trained nurse and one of the many women who have suffered the severe discomfort and potential dangers of Toxic Shock Syndrome. She developed Moon Pads as a natural and comfortable alternative to existing disposable products. They're been tried by tens of thousands of women over the past 12 years. There's been a quiet cloth pad revolution going on, didn't you know? See our Testimonials page for comments from happy customers.

And since the business started it now stocks The Keeper and Lunette menstrual cups as a fantastic alternative to tampons. We've got you covered no matter how you prefer to manage your period.
