The dog ate my moon cup

[anydaynow]

is this reason enough to put the dog down?

Am I buying a direct replacement of my dearly loved of many years cup or am I going to go for something new and improved? I've heard of things with such mod cons as valves... the mind boggles. I need your wisdom and experience please. Maybe the dogs inopportune snack could be a blessing in disguise...

Did the dog actually swallow the moon cup and has it come out the other end?
Would be a bit embarrassing if it had to have surgery to remove it 😂

I was just thinking the same thing. I hope he chewed it first

Can't be of any help as moon cups fill me with horror but is the dog ok?

One of my cats ate a brand new one of mine once, there were chunks missing. She actually growled at me when I went to take it away, I didn't even know she could growl. She also liked to try and get into the drawer where my normal one was kept until I moved it to a cupboard which she now can't get to.

Oh no!!

I don’t know much about different types mooncups but I think there are some good reviews from blogs etc if you google about.

I always think it can't be that hygienic, emptying, rinsing then shoving back in. 😷

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks more hygienic than a dick

I evaporated mine put it in apan with water and left it to boil. Then got distracted by laundry etc and came back an hour later to a horrible smell and an empty pan.

My dog ate mine too. She was fine.

I replaced it with a Femmy Cycle which was shit and then had to buy a new moincup.

After moaning about it s lot someone suggested they are supposed to be replaced after a while anyway and mine was at least 10 years old so I didn’t feel too hard done by.

I hope this makes the Daily Fail. That is all!

Good point eggcellent. I just think, doesn't menstrual blood carry bacteria, and no way can you destroy it with water alone. I'd want to scrub it out, but you wouldn't really have time.

I use a blossom cup-bought on Amazon. Find it really comfortable and such a better alternative to tampons.

This is reassuring TheGherkin... my moon cup is at least 10 years old... or rather was

Actually evaporated Redexpat? That's impressive... I did nearly kill the DCs with the toxic fumes from overboiling it once but the cup lived to tell the tale.

You've got a determined cat GummyGoddess... it must be something in your pheromones

I'm sorry but I really think you need to keep a close eye on your dog. If that gets stuck it will be life threatening.

I'm deadly serious. Look for signs of discomfort. Vomiting and not defecating - if that happens get your dog to a vet as a matter of urgency.

Sorry to put a downer on things but I've seen too many dogs die from foreign bodies

Can you put your mooncup in the dishwasher? That would get rid of the bacteria perfectlysymmetricalbutticks

But surely it's your own bacteria perfectlysymetricalbuttocks ... no one's suggesting you pass the cup around

LEMtheoriginal I can put your mind at rest... the dog is fine. Initial piecing together of the remaining bits shows almost a whole cup... In fact maybe all I need is a bit of Gorilla Glue

Me too! I thought I was alone in this!

@PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks That bacteria has literally just come out of your body, colonies of it are already resident so it won't do you any harm. Also I have a couple of them, so one in, one out and the out one gets sterilised while it's out.

Actually... can you put it in the dishwasher VanillaSugar? That's a real game changer for me. No DS of 13 wants to witness a boiling mood cup when he has friends round for tea.

Take this down! Daily Mail!

My Greyhound puppy did exactly the same!

Anyday - phew!! I had visions of it being swallowed whole that may have taken some explaining at the vets.

Not in the DISHWASHER! the chemicals would irritate your delicate fanjo bits

Have a look see at MeLuna cups.
Mine gets a cold soak in Milton. Don't trust myself not to boil it dry (and since tampons are hard to source out here, there is not a hope in hell of getting a cup til the following summer!).
