I have always suffered with thrush and I find that using the diaphragm contraceptive cap makes this worse. Do you think that the Mooncup will aggravate the thrush too?
CheersMaiaDear MaiaThanks for your email. To the contrary, women who have suffered from thrush with tampons have reported an improvement with the Mooncup. The diaphragm is made from latex rubber, and many women have an allergy to latex, even a minor allergy, which may have contributed towards the infections. The Mooncup can be boiled between periods or soaked in sterilising solution to keep it clean. The most important way to prevent infection is to wash your hand before inserting or removing your Mooncup (this applies to tampons too!). I hope that this info is useful.
