Should I tell him he drank my mooncup water?

I have namechanged for this. I've been pondering whether to tell him?

This morning I sterilised my mooncup (hasn't been sterilised since last period) in boiling water in a mug. Used the tongs to get it out and took it upstairs but in rush of getting DCs out of the door for school forgot to get rid of the boiling water and put the mug in the dishwasher.

DH has recently taken to drinking hot water plain - he alternates it with coffee as he says it makes his breath better.

He drank the mooncup water and was finishing the mug as he left for work.

There's no point in telling him is there?

What is a freaking "moon cup"????

Serialweightwatcher · 01/12/2018 18:32

@Mymomsbetterthanyomum it's explained on the previous page.

OP definitely never tell him - poor man doesn't need to know .. could scar him for life ... bleurgh

I once drank quite a lot of clear car wiper fluid by mistake, because my dad put it in a bottle of mineral water. I was ok and mistakes like this happen Grin

Not a helpful reply as such but I’m not liking the idea of going to someone’s house and eating or drinking things out of the mooncup pan or mug. Or whatever else they might be heating up 😳. My mum used to boil hankies but there was a handkerchief pan. Oh this is potentially grim.

@VerbeenaBeeks

I wash my Mooncup with soap and water every day when it is in use and again when I've finished with it for them month and then it goes in the dishwasher.
Although I do think that putting a loo brush in the dishwasher is a step too far (probably several steps, actually).
Presumably none of you hygiene paranoiacs wash your tea-towels in the same wash as your bed linen... otherwise you risk getting fecal matter, cum, menstrual blood and goodness knows what else on the cloths you use to wipe your plates and cutlery.

What if you wash your loo brush with soap and water every day as well as clean your bog with it? Then stick it in the dishwasher?
Both's not nice really, is it.

For me, the most shocking part is that he just drank a cup of water already on the bench. Who does that? You leaving it in a cup that’s never used is fine. I have a cup I piss into in the bathroom for taking pregnancy tests etc. Him drinking it is a little gross, but not because the mooncup was dirty, just because it would turn my stomach if I did that myself. Each to their own but I also wouldn’t taste my own blood, bit odd but then I also don’t taste my bogeys or piss either. Can’t belive someone actually suggested going back to tampax 😂 great laugh though, I wouldn’t tell him unless you think he could handle the thought and not chuck up everywhere.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 03/12/2018 10:44

some mingers people wash them in their dishwashers presumably with their cereal bowls and dinner plates.

Comments like this make me laugh. Do your dishwashers not work or something? Mine cleans brilliantly and given the heat everything is sterile, I don’t have a mooncup but if I did I’d put it in. If everything is being cleaned, how is it disgusting 😂 I put my cats bowls in too.

ILoveHumanity · 03/12/2018 13:02

Quack ConfusedShock that’s disgusting omg. Gonna think twice about Eating at people’s houses.

Did u never have a plate come out unclean ? Doesn’t that tell you that at times things don’t work perfectly and why do you want to feed your bacteria and blood to others. Erghhhh gross

KonaMum · 03/12/2018 13:10

I actually can’t remember ever bothering to sterilise my mooncup and I’ve been using one for about 11 or 12 years (think I’m on my third one now). Tampons aren’t sterile and I haven’t died or had any kind of vagina infection yet!

VerbeenaBeeks · 03/12/2018 14:04

Ilovehumanity - thank gawd it's not just me, I mean highlighting my comment as if I'm the weird one lol Grin
Some people are well manky.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 03/12/2018 19:37

ILoveHumanity Only time a plate has come out unclean is if it wasn’t loaded too well. Or my egg spoon, the egg never comes off so I don’t put them in any more. Cats bowls are rinsed before hand or soaked but the dishwasher cleans everything fine.

Why would (if I had one) the moon cup have blood on it? It would be washed or at least rinsed first. Also, I’m a loner so I never have anyone round to eat anyway. And, I have an immune oppressed child in the house and she seems well. Her spoons go in the dishwasher and she hasn’t gotten sick from it.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 03/12/2018 19:38

VerbeenaBeeks I’m far from manly. I actually have to keep things really clean to protect my daughter. My house is quite untidy though, but not dirty.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 03/12/2018 19:38

Manky* not manly lol

BadBadBeans · 03/12/2018 19:42

This has made me laugh so much I inhaled cake crumbs and nearly choked. And I've only read the original post!

And my two year old, who I thought was asleep, just called out, 'Mummy? Are you all right?' because I was laughing so hard.

Dongdingdong · 03/12/2018 19:45

Please can someone tell me how to unsee this thread?! I literally bring up my breakfast every time I catch sight of it Sad

TheOrigFV45 · 03/12/2018 21:48

There is Hide option

VerbeenaBeeks · 03/12/2018 21:58

Also, I’m a loner so I never have anyone round to eat anyway

Thank Gawd for that lol Grin

ILoveHumanity · 04/12/2018 06:34

Quack

Would you go to a restaurant who washes the mooncupa of their staff in the dishwasher ?

Do you think they would pass the hygiene standards of the food authorities ?

BurpAndRustle · 04/12/2018 06:40

Does he eat fat balls too?

ILoveHumanity · 04/12/2018 06:42

Do you also put your toilet brush in the dishwasher ?

Would you like to put your toothbrush in the dishwasher too? Next to your toilet brush ?

BurpAndRustle · 04/12/2018 06:46

Former colleague once asked me back to hers for a sandwich at lunch time.

When we were in her kitchen, making a brew, I noticed a dildo and some butt plugs drying on the draining board.

Said I wasn’t that hungry after all, no need for a butty.

onelostsoulswimminginafishbowl · 04/12/2018 07:01

Some of you really need to be handed a fucking grip. 'Fucking disgusting' 'gross' 'unable to eat' 🙄
It's a fucking piece of silicon that had already been rinsed and was in a mug of hot water.

As for the person that said to go back to tampons or sanitary towels. Have a word with yourself.

And the 'basic hygiene' person. Do you use sanitising tablets on your toothbrush? That goes into an orifice with a lot more bacteria than your vagina.

Passthecake30 · 04/12/2018 07:14

Wow lots of grossed out people! I personally think it's hilarious, I wouldn't tell him unless he'd feel the same 😂

thenewaveragebear1983 · 04/12/2018 10:21

This is the grimmest thread I’ve ever read outside of sporners corner.

I think my Dh would actually vomit if I’d told him that he’d done that. I don’t think I could live with the burden of guilt.

Get yourself a mooncup cup. Please.
