AIBU to think this is my best chance ever of having a thread in Classics?

[MissingMooncup]

So, I run. Having given birth to 3 DC, I have a minor issue with wee coming out when I run. Discovered some time ago that the Mooncup, which I already thought was a fabulous device, could fix this problem.

Tonight I was in a bit of a rush getting ready (in fact, got changed in loos of local soft play centre). Put Mooncup in, got dressed, went running. While running thought things down there felt a little... odd. Wondered if perhaps it hadn't unfolded properly or summat.

Got home, tried to remove the bugger. Couldn't find it! Was literally rummaging around for it. Thought for a few minutes it might have vanished into the Pouch of Douglas (yes, I have been here that long). After much 'bearing down' and contorting got hold of the edge of it and whipped it out.

Had put the damn thing in upside-down

Moral of the story: engage brain when inserting Mooncup. Please share any similar fanjo-related mishaps to make me feel less stupid.

I don't have periods. Don't hold with them, therefore no need for mooncups.

Fuckwittery. Yes, I wondered about that.

Don't think mine would fit in upside down saggy cervix as well as saggy vadge

[Gives QOD a sisterly punch on the arm] See, I knew I couldn't be the only one. Do you honestly think it might still be up there? Bear down and have a rummage love.

So does finding it hard to wee with mooncup in = saggy vag wall crap pelvic floor tone? Or does everyone find it hard to wee with a mooncup in?

Dh doesn't seem to bounce in and out so I don't THINK it's in there?

AtYourCervix I would have thought that too until I actually did it! [MissingMooncup worries about tent-like vadge that can accommodate all things]. However, on reflection, upside-down in this case does mean pointy-end first... although am worried I might have had my whole hand in there holding it all folded up! . Am definitely going for a .

Trucks I don't have any problem going for a wee when I mean to with the Mooncup in, it's just the involuntary wee that is affected, IYSWIM.

I am imagining a Mary Poppins-type scenario where lamps, medicine bottles and Aspidistra plants are able to be pulled out of sack-like nethers

ROFL at idea of QOD's DH BOUNCING. Starting to feel a bit better.

Jamie or like Mrs Potato Head in Toy Story, only in reverse: 'and some ham (surely should be sausage in this case?!), and your ANGRY EYES' etc.

Oh :( maybe I have crap pelvic floor tone saggy vag

I find it hard to wee with mooncup in when having period.
Especially lighter days. Takes ages, but if I remove mooncup it all whooshes out.

DS was 9lbs and 98 centile head circumference...

This brings back very fond memories of that thread where the OP lost her mooncup and managed to have sex with a new bloke before finding it 'up there'
Can't remember if that got sent to classics or not, it had been in for ages.

Trucks at risk of TMI I am always worried when going for a poo that Mooncup is about to pop wholly out due to the general downward force, IYSWIM. Do not like to think about the fall-out from this type of explosion.

Realise I am sounding a bit anti-Mooncup. Am not at all, in general think they are genius!

Yes! angry eyes

Wakey I missed that one! He didn't bounce out then .

I've never put it in upside-down! But I did run the London Marathon with it in and not a drop. Given without it, even fresh after a bathroom visit I'd get through the thickest Tena lady over a 5K, it saved my running "career". Magic! Tampons work almost as well, for the record.

A Mooncup is somewhat multi use as I know some people use it when TTC as well to keep stuff in, although the jury is out on how much of a difference that makes..

MurderofProse thank God you've joined the thread and proved I'm not insane with the running thing . And well done on the marathon, I am not of that calibre!

Had never heard of the TTC thing - am now wondering if we need some sort of 'random other uses for Mooncups' thread!

In a sort-of-related incident I absent-mindedly left mine in the shower the other day and my cleaner conspicuously moved it when she cleaned the shower. I was a bit and can't stop wondering if she knows what it is or not!

I've given up using my mooncup as its no longer comfortable after only the one DD, but I had an episiotomy so I wonder if I just need to tighten up a bit as I really wish I could use it again.

Melawen you might need the other size one now you've had a baby?

Very disappointed with this story OP.

Mention of play centre was a red herring, I thought the reveal would be that you'd accidentally inserted some sort of small toy.

An aside to Jamie I love that the voice of Mrs Potato Head is Janice from Friends...

arrrghhhwaiting apologies. Mentioned play centre only to convey hurried atmosphere; backdrop sounds of distant screaming... but on reflection I guess the risk of small children posting items under the door of the cubicle was very, very real. Phew. [lucky escape emoticon]
