Just came on today, went to get my mooncup from its usual storage place, its not there. I've looked everywhere.
....Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Surely it can't be up there?
I'd have died from toxic shock by now wouldn't I?
I'm worried....I've had ....ya know...with a man...
Where else could I have put it?

Have you checked your saucepans/utensil-storage-place in case you forgot to remove it after sterilising?

I do know somebody who has lost 2 by flushing one down the loo and throwing one in the bin while on autopilot, so that's another set of possibilities...

Oh blimey...surely it would smell if it were lodged or forgotten?! I'd say ElectricMonk's suggestions are more feasible

You haven't measured any liquid out when cooking lately have you? Served gravy in any interestingly shaped gravy boats??
Have the kids been playing in the bTh with any new toys recently?
Sorry, I'll go now Grin

Phew! No one thinks it might be up there!
I've checked my sterilising mug!
I've checked everywhere if can possibly think of.

Still worried its migrated tho!

Go to hospital. I was recently utterly humiliated as had mine in during a ct scan, then I had to explain to two male neurologists in their twenties what a moon cup was as it had shown up on the scan.
I have never, ever, been so embarrassed in my life.

But on the plus side, it is medically possible to make sure its not stuck in you without the shame of an internal!

Oooo good plan! What can I fake to bag myself a CT scan!

Surely DP would have noticed?!
Maybe I should ask him!

Oh...Sad... the thread title made me think it was going to be about the announcement of Mumsnet The Musical: Help, I've Lost My Mooncup!

Claim unusual abdominal pain! I'm sure it can't be up there, they are not that comfortable that you wouldn't notice all month!

No toy soldiers have unusual helmets do they? No dolls with space age hats?

I bet you will find it being used as a toy next week!

Shock Oh, oh... do your DC have show and tell at school? Do you vet what they take in?

Can't you just have a bath and go fishing once the kids are in need?

Aside from that, could you have put it in your handbag or overnight bag?

I would have thought.

I don't think it possibly could be inside you.

I lost one too. I think they are off partying somewhere with the odd socks and the teaspoons.
