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...

I have an Organicup which I love.

Hang on, surely the dishwasher would cleane and rinse the mooncup? I didn’t suggest putting a dishwasher tab up your wotsits.

I put mine through the dishwasher, it's absolutely fine. DH nearly had the vapours when he found out though!

anydaynow yes, but could it give you an infection. I'm sure there's a reason our bodies expel this stuff every month, otherwise it would just be reabsorbed.

Vanilla yes, but that would be after your period. What about during? I mentioned this on the Lush forum about 11 years ago, and concluded that you'd need 2.

Love my meluna cup.

Perfectlysymmetrical I just can't think this is true... it's almost crazy. More likely to get an infection from a tampon surely... I'm guessing you wouldn't be into borrowing your OHs cup in an emergency then...

I'm just overly worried, I think! 😂 No, I think I'd rather use a tea towel than put someone else's cup up my vag in an emergency! 😂

Although, if it had been dishwashed...

I’m paling at the thought of OH’s cup

I gave it a really good swill round first... it's just as I said, the dog ate mine

I use disinfectant for baby bottles rather than boiling mine.

Can we have a picture of the guilty dog?

My dogs have also got mine out of the bathroom drawer before. Luckily it was still in the fabric pouch and non-chewed!

I boiled 2 dry and burnt over around 15 years. No actual evaporation. Still cheaper than disposable I reckon.

I’m assuming your OH is a) female and b) your partner, so why would it be an issue?

Since the boiling dry incidents I boil in the microwave so it turns itself off after a few minutes.

I’m glad your dog didn’t actually swallow any. Vets bills are bad enough without the whole explaining what the dog ate thing.

Don't put it in the dishwasher, that's rank. Same as putting it in the microwave. Get a glass jar, some boiling water and Milton ffs.

I used a website questionnaire and it told me what cup I was best suited to. I brought the one that was at the top of the list and it works perfectly.

And I was worried about my ddog eating my flip flop.
Least that had it been on my foot not in my fanjo!!

Interested in trying this. Moon cup not feeding it to a dog.

Do they ever leak? That's my only concern? Does it take much practice putting in in? Change/Empty the same as a tampon I presume?

Ooh those who have different cups, what's the capacity like in comparison? I also left mine boiling for too long!

This is, to be fair, a great name for a band.

I've had the same one for 18 years and wash it in hot soapy water. Is that wrong?

@allthegoodnameshadgone mine leaks sometimes when very heavy but I've just bought some washable pads from cloth mama on eBay for extra protection at night on those days.

I've got a mooncup in size b as I'm over 30.

Where is that questionnaire Splodge? I've been trying to decide what to replace my lost diva cup with.
