My dd eats homemade food but its not always made from organic ingredients and I used to feed her jars. She wears disposable nappies and was bottle-fed from about 6 weeks. She watches telly, eats biscuits and has been introduced to the joys of chocolate.

Lock me up now!!!

um... there's actually a thread going now where people are considering using a mooncup. I'm rather scared now.

miam · 18/11/2004 12:41

Less wastage for the environment gobble!!!! And as you know, I am ultra-green (not just from vomiting from the whole mooncup idea either)

PicadillyCircus · 18/11/2004 12:42

I cannot even think of using a Mooncup.

I know DS came out of there.....but I just can't cope with the thought.

Have to admit I've never managed to use tampons either - I'm an Always girl

joanneg · 18/11/2004 12:43

could you loose the mooncup in your vaginal environment?! iyswim

alicatsg · 18/11/2004 12:43

and presumably you have to carry it around in your handbag on those days when you might get your period? Imagine dropping that in public.

joanneg · 18/11/2004 12:43

(miam - e-mail me later to tell me how your trip was)

JoolsToo · 18/11/2004 12:43

alicatsg · 18/11/2004 12:46

No really - there is called mooncup or keeper or something similar. And they're VERY serious.

Gobbledigook · 18/11/2004 12:50

Bonkerz - I like your style!!

northstar · 18/11/2004 12:50

Here goes .... my ds not only watches too much tv but sometimes he sits way too close to the screen and mummy is happy on mn so she says nothing in case he starts to need some kind of mother/child interaction while im busy reading about mooncups fgs!

joanneg · 18/11/2004 12:50

alicat - had to have a look and it sounds like people actually buy the mooncap!

joanneg · 18/11/2004 12:51

alicatsg · 18/11/2004 12:52

I know - real live people and everything. In fact one of these outwardly sane women in my office could be wearing one right now.... I have to stop,m am seriously freaking out.

joanneg · 18/11/2004 12:52

JoolsToo · 18/11/2004 12:53

ali - just seen it - oh dear! - oh well each to their own

miam · 18/11/2004 12:56

Well, I bottlefed not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I used pampers on not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 children!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I used the TV for a childminder on not 1 but 4 etc etc etc etc. Am I a bad mother too???

BUT I dont drive a 4x4.....
And I only used a dummy for 2 of them.

So perhaps I can be partially forgiven.
