Our Claims
At Mooncup, we believe you deserve to know exactly what’s in your period care. No jargon. No guesswork. Just straight-up, evidence-backed facts.
This page breaks down the key claims behind Mooncup - from superior absorbency to being free from common irritants - so you can make a choice that’s actually good for your vagina. Because when it comes to your health, transparency isn’t optional.
What we mean by "plastic-free"
When we say plastic-free, we mean free from petroleum-based plastics like PE or PP.
In our pads and liners we use a plant-based biopolymer made from cornstarch (PLA), which is compostable and biodegradable (certified to EN 13432 and ASTM standards), non-toxic in both production and end of life, and completely biobased.
While PLA is technically a polymer, it is not petroleum-derived and is accepted under leading ecological standards such as GOTS.
We clearly disclose its use and independently validate all our claims to ensure transparency and compliance with the most rigorous sustainability standards.
100% leakproof barrier.
Our pads have specially designed leakproof barriers to lock in blood and prevent leakage around the edges.
Independently verified through technical product data and consumer testing conducted between July and August 2024.
Our pads biodegrade within a year - even in landfill.
Mooncups pads break down within one year, even in landfill conditions. This has been verified through testing based on ASTM D5511.
Biodegradation rates may vary depending on disposal location and environmental conditions.
Clinically proven to prevent irritation
Mooncups pads are free from super absorbent polymers, fragrances, dyes, and petroleum plastics, reducing the risk of irritation.
Clinically tested to ensure a gentle and comfortable experience for all skin types.
