AIBU?

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?

That was tongue in cheek, even if I am a minger with a microwaved mooncup mug

I don't see menstrual blood as yicky at all. I'd tell DH so you can both find it funny. How is it different from a bit of mouth music in the moontimes?
I never sterilise my mooncup, just run it under the hot tap a bit. Still alive to tell the tale. Tampons aren't sterile either, you know.

I wouldn't bother telling him. Likelihood is that this thread will be picked up by the Daily Mail anyway so if he sees it he'll work it out for himself.

It’s done know. Telling him won’t help anything but make him feel sick!

A cup of ‘red bush tea’ won’t have killed him but knowing he drank one might so I would definitely keep quiet about it!

So it was clean anyway, and the water had boiled. I don't see the problem...

Babs agreed, I wouldn't go back to sticking cotton wool up my foof, my periods are much less painful and lighter with the mooncup, and the planet is healthier. Win! Unless you're my DH Wink

Fantastic. I'd sandbag that confession until the next time he did something to annoy me then BAM! You drank my mooncup water! 😂😂 Brilliant post!

Eh, I cant get worked up over it at all. Its not that gross. But then I am a mooncup user and not squeamish about perfectly normal and natural bodily fluid and what amounts to an accident. Sure it was sterilised water and I am better he willingly has ingested much "grosser" fluids or foods. I was amazed people were surprised recently that the ipads in mcdonalds were covered in fecal matter, i mean of course they are, they have a million hands touching them. One cup of boiling water that had a moon cup in it not so much. Its not like he downed a cup of blood, just water. If he eats black pudding cant see how he would be grossed out either if you told him...I probably wouldnt though.

I boiled my mooncup in a pan last night and took out the mooncup and just realised I never emptied the pan. I figure my dh did it without blinking or making and issue and he probably just flung it in the dishwasher, its a small pan we never use anyway.

You've reminded me to move my cup which I used to sterilise mine this morning. DP drinks an astonishing amount of water everyday and had receptacles all over the house, I could see him doing this. I wouldn't tell OP, too cruel, he'll probably be traumatised

How big are moon cups. I imagined them the size of an egg cup.

Why would you drink out of a rubber egg cup sized device. Does he often drink from anything left lying around that will hold water ? Empty tin cans, clothes detergent ball thing ?

Another one that doesn’t think it’s that bad. Maybe my standards are low!

But I wouldn’t tell him. I mean it’s not that bad but he may still be pretty disgusted.

Don't tell him there's no point. And yes you do need to boil it. That said I put mine on to boil once and completely forgot about it until it had boiled dry and burned. Had to buy a new one.

That's fucking disgusting. I don't know how people can use their normal kitchen things for this. For this ^^ reason. Plus who wants to eat salad after its been tossed by mooncup tongs ffs. Your husband would be perfectly entitled to leave you for that.

I have a specific jar (re-purposed mustard jar, perfect size!) that I keep in the bathroom and after washing the mooncup with soap & water, I put a capful of milton in the jar and then top up with boiling water, give it a shake and leave. When I take the mooncup out I rinse the jar, give a swish with a splash of milton and put the lid back on. Basic fucking hygiene.

He probably won't tell you what he has done with your toothbrush.

It won't be long before someone on baby names decides that Mooncup Water is a delightfully romantic name for a baby girl.
