What parents say about luna

Rated 4.8

Reliable evidence based advice

I chose luna because I figured my daughter would want to use a period tracker, and so given she has started relatively early, lifetime membership worked out better value.

I chose luna because I wanted her to have access to reliable evidence based advice on things she is interested in that I don't have any expertise in (namely, skincare and make up etc). I also liked the idea she could do quizzes etc.

She really liked the free version and period tracking, but quite quickly got through her article limit.

I figured if she is taking an interest in her own body and health, then she isnt spending time on YouTube etc getting advice that makes her want to go get botox and fillers etc.

She has screen time limits so one replaces the other.

I am a GP and very aware of the things teenagers have to deal with.

I have as open and non judgemental relationship as I can with my kids, but at the end of the day I am a parent and so my emotional investment is high, and I will at some point become enemy number one, so access to reliable information is the best thing I can think to give her!

Sherri, parent of teen aged 13 

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 teen aged 14 

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
