What parents say about luna

Rated 4.8

Puts my mind at ease

I love the luna app!

It is a great space for my daughter to learn about puberty and her menstrual cycle and ask any questions she may be a bit embarrassed to ask me.

The Drs and experts that luna has fact-checking these questions puts my mind at ease, knowing she is getting correct and factual information.

Sarah, parent of pre-teen aged 12 

Authentic, trustworthy

My daughter loves being part of the luna community and I personally think the app is great.

There are times when regardless of how close we are to our teens, there are times when they don’t want to come to us.

They want to work out things for themselves and make choices and decisions that don’t involve us and i think this is where the positivity of luna comes in.

Authentic, trustworthy and a platform where we know she feels safe.

Keziah, parent of teen aged 15 

Great for kids of all ages

luna is a great app for kids of all ages to learn about their health and wellbeing in a safe and positive space.

My daughter loves being part of the luna community and really enjoyed the in-person community day she attended.

These are things we all need to talk about, but luna makes it fun and informative.

Victoria, parent of teen aged 13
