Should I tell him he drank my mooncup water?

[mooncupbeverage]

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?

@ILoveHumanity First thing I did when first using my mooncup was taste my period blood, not gross in the slightest, much grosser to use a pad and throw it away in disgust having no idea what your own blood looks or even smells like, because it does NOT smell like a sanitary towel.

Exactly! I presume people don't make their partners dunk their todgers into boiling water before sex?

Ahem ....

[TheChickenOfTruth]

People are amazingly prudish.

Nothing in that mug he couldn't have ingested from a passionate sex session which included some oral. Obviously even less because you washed it first.

Why are people so uncomfortable about periods? What do you think someone is going to contract from your period? Non-pregnancy? Unless all of these people have awful, blood-borne diseases to worry about?

[ILikeyourHairyHands]

I'd tell my DH. I suspect he'd be secretly rather thrilled.

[Gigglebrain]

Do not ever boil water in the microwave. It’s really dangerous. It can literally leap out of the cup when you movement can cause some reaction.

I think it’s quite funny though, revenge for bad stuff he’s done.

[ILoveHumanity]

Joy ew mate. Do you also taste your bogies? Poo and urine ?

[coconutwheel]

It’s hilarious OP but I probably wouldn’t mention it 😂
See the red tent brigade are out in force ... can’t believe you don’t boil it in bleach and have a separate lead lined safe to store it in.... while quarantining yourself - Of course.

It’s a mooncup! get over it.

[ILikeyourHairyHands]

Doesn't boiling your mooncup cause the rubber to perish?

[WhoisyourDaddyandwhatdoeshedo]

people arent prudish about periods but I wouldnt want to drink the water of an appliance thats been up someone else's vadge.

[FissionChips]

I wouldn’t want to drink out of a cup that someone had vomited in or grogged into, even if sterilised. It may be clean but it’s stomach turning. Mooncup water is the same.

[NotANotMan]

FFS
The Mooncup was washed (I assume) as you wash it in hot water before sterilising. Literally no blood would have been in the water, not least because if there was, the bloke would have noticed!
Again, I assume he puts his mouth on OP's fanny on a regular basis so shouldn't be grossed out by the idea of her cooties (which is all that would have been in the mug, no actual blood, germs or anything else)

In terms of Mooncup hygiene, microwaving in a mug isn't great but it's only the OP's fanny that might suffer from that.

What the actual fuck? Just WHY does anyone need to taste their own period blood? Why?!

[MistressoftheYoniverse]

....wowsers this cheered me up!

I would tell my DH but that's because he would probably laugh...he is way grosser than me

[MixedMaritalArts]

I doubt the lunar soup will harm him, the knowledge of having consumed lunar soup is a different matter!

[Ironfloor269]

Well, some people cook and eat their own placenta........

'WHY does anyone need to taste their own period blood? Why?!'

THIS !! ^

What the Heckety Hack is that about

[Celebelly]

Bahaha, I love anything related to hygiene on Mumsnet. It never fails to amuse.

'What do you mean you only boil it and then use it? I use hydrochloric acid to remove the top layer of my own skin after I've washed mine and throw away the glass in a special hazardous materials bag. I then cordon off the room it was cleaned in for 24 hours. Anyway must go, got yet another doctor's appointment as I always seem to get every bug going for some reason. Weird.'

I know.

[MistressoftheYoniverse]

LOL@ Lunar soup MMA

[Chasingsquirrels]

I wouldn't tell him.
I don't see any problem with what you are doing 're cleaning & microwaving it, but I personally wouldn't want to have drunk the water and what would be the purpose of telling him?

I rinse mine under the hot tap with soap at the end of my period, leave it on the sink to dry and rinse again with hot water before using it again. Occasionally I put in the dishwasher on a normal cycle with plates, cutlery etc.

[MargoLovebutter]

Fascinating! Some people slurping their own period blood and others boiling, bleaching and only touching with tongs. So much variety!

I'm repelled by the thought of drinking water that someone has rinsed their cock in or boiled their mooncup in - even though I know I probably wouldn't come to any harm and even if I'd been intimate with said cock or vagina. It just isn't a very pleasant thought. I wouldn't want to drink water that someone had rinsed their hands in either - or good forbid their feet - gip!

I like to think I wouldn't tell my DH (if I had one), but have a feeling it would come out either when I was a bit alcohol fuelled or in an argument.

[NOTthepinkranger]

If this happened it’s not funny it’s actually fucking disgusting :s

[BertramKibbler]

This is one of the most revolting things I’ve ever read about

Why have so many women bought into the idea that their bodies are contaminated and shameful?

In some places women are made to go and stay in sheds when they menstruate. This kind of attitude is on the same spectrum. www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-10/chhaupadi-nepal-menstrual-cup-revolution/9531814
