I just want to share with you something which made me smile this week :) I had an amazing testimonial from a lovely customer, which she has very kindly and bravely let me share. It made my day, here it is;
''I have ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. 95% of our body is made up of connective tissue so as you can imagine, it affects us a lot! My periods had been so heavy that I had resorted to using nappies and was still waking up or standing up to a horror movie style blood bath. I'd stand in the shower weak and sobbing in a puddle of blood in agony with cramps and joint pain with a lake of crimson in my bed and a river of blood leading to the bathroom. I have a 25 day cycle which seems even more cruel and spent all my non-bleeding days dreading the next gruesome episode.
Those with ehlers-danlos seem to be more sensitive, sensitive to everything. We are plagued with allergies, skin problems, and digestive issues and many of us have serious menstrual problems. One person I was talking to the problem about suggested it was possible the chemicals in the absorbent pads could be causing a reaction.
I tried the Mooncup. I leaked all over the top of it, and the pain inside was unbearable. I discovered after my uterus and bladder was prolapsed and other organs had slipped too. Mooncup or anything inserted was not going to be an option for me.
I saw some other Moonpads but they were far outside my price range until yours popped up. They were perfect and the articles you posted were informative and I felt I could trust you. When I wrote to you, you responded quickly, you listened well and were very kind and sympathetic. Thank you.
When my pads came it was a few days before my cycle and I was actually really excited instead of feeling the usual dread. I also felt some apprehension, in case they bled through, in case they didn't work. I put the biggest pads on when my period started and I was amazed.
In the morning there was no blood bath. The pad had absorbed everything! I stood up expecting the big gush, but it didn't happen quite so bad and the pad took everything. I could not believe I had clean sheets, clean pyjamas and even clean pants!
The second day for me is usually the heaviest, I'd use five large nappies in that day with leaks or up to 18 of the largest pads available with leaks.
The second day came, the pads absorbed everything. Not a single spill, smudge or leak, and I only had to change them 4 times!!
I had none of the terrible cramping. The pads were so easy to wash and they did not stain. They were easy and comfortable to use. I felt so much better with them and for the first time actually enjoyed and felt at peace with my flow. This really is a miracle to me. I am so grateful to you and for the work and love that you put into making your moon pads!!''
Wow!! I was so over the moon when I read her testimonial. It feels great that my moonpads have really helped someone in a big way. I hope that they continue to help with her menstrual problems.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome really does sound awful!
I would love to hear other testimonials from customers weather they are good or bad, long or short or if you want them shared publicly or not! It's so great to get feedback <3
