My daughter and her mooncup

[FloralBunting]

My eldest has just got a menstrual cup. I am receiving hourly text updates about how it's going, in addition to regular run downs when she's at home.

She came in my bedroom and started dancing about saying what a weird sensation it was having something up there, and this morning announced that taking it out was a bit like giving birth. She thinks it's a bit weird to be having 'a rummage around' to get it out, but it's all a rather exciting adventure.

I don't use one, and in all honesty I'm not really sure she's selling the idea, but I've just had the sixth text today saying "My vagina is a bloody miracle vice. How's it keeping it in so well?" And I can't stop laughing.

Both my DDs rave about how great their mooncups are. And one of them had never managed to insert a tampon, so had been stuck with pads for years. They say they’re so comfy they can’t feel them at all, and there’s none of the chafing or drying you can get with sanpro.
I did laugh when one of them told me she’d replaced her “jam rags with a jam jar!”

For those of you thinking of trying one - this girl knows her stuff. This video is really useful and she has loads of others on her YouTube channel covering various cup/menstrual products too. Imagine if she overshared this much on here!! Some posters heads would explode 😂
