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?

Erm. If you've dtd then you'd have realised it was there! Where did you have it ddlast?

ElectricMonk · 27/11/2012 19:59

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

ElectricMonk · 27/11/2012 20:00

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...

HairyGrotter · 27/11/2012 20:03

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

Jingleflobba · 27/11/2012 20:03

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

Flojo1979 · 27/11/2012 20:03

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

Bath..

Flojo1979 · 27/11/2012 20:04

I asked DCs is they'd seen "a strange squidgy see thro thingy" and neither seems to have. Unless barbie has borrowed it

Well, Barbie is more realistic than she used to be!

McChristmasPants2012 · 27/11/2012 20:12

lol mooncup barbie.

i suggest getting some other form of protection. I wonder if santa makes mooncup could be an intresting thing to ask for :)

McChristmasPants2012 · 27/11/2012 20:13

www.mooncup.co.uk/

before anyone asks what are they < it tends to go that way>

Flojo1979 · 27/11/2012 20:16

Def can't find it I've ransacked the place.
Maybe like someone said I put it in the bin by mistake.
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!

Flojo1979 · 27/11/2012 20:26

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

OP posts:
Flojo1979 · 27/11/2012 20:27

I think I'm going to have to go and do my own internal aren't I and stop being a wimp!

OP posts:
StuntGirl · 27/11/2012 20:29

I have yet to use mine but surely you'd know if it was still up there..? Confused

Flojo1979 · 27/11/2012 20:31

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!

SofaKing · 27/11/2012 20:33

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!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 27/11/2012 20:35

Sofaking Grin

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

MrsHoarder · 27/11/2012 20:35

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?

hugoagogo · 27/11/2012 20:39

I presume you have had a good rummage?

SirBoobAlot · 27/11/2012 20:43

You would know if it was up there...

I would have thought.

Himalaya · 27/11/2012 20:52

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.
