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?

Isn't the Metro and DM owner the same?

Another reason to be surprised about this. The water is will have cooled down. Dh apparently likes hot water. You can't have left it in there for long.

Ps. Livia - I agree

Ooo thanks.

@ FissionChips, you got a lovely mention in there.
How on earth is this news worthy?

BibiThree · 30/11/2018 22:10

I once caught DH borrowing my mooncup toothbrush (to clean the little holes and ridges) - I didn't tell him.

I wonder if The Viz will send me a knacker sack pencil for my lame claim to fame, Imareallifemonet Grin

I've never sterilized my Mooncup in 10 years of use. It seems clean and fine.

I can't see the problem however I'd keep quiet about it all the same.

YourMilkshakeIsBetterThanMine · 01/12/2018 00:45

This is brilliant Grin

Yeah I def wouldn't tell him but every time he annoyed me for the next 10 years I'd secretly think "turn the landing light on at 3am all you want, you drank my fanny tea once".

It’s a rubber/silicone egg cup you shove up your vag to catch The curse.

VerbeenaBeeks · 01/12/2018 01:28

sorry for the Grin in advance @Ariesgirl1988 but do you really want to go there lol

ok someone enlighten me wtf is a moon cup?

Basically a cup that you stick up your flue when it's the time of the month and it collects period blood.
Like a tampon would. Just this is a cup and it fills up and some mingers people wash them in their dishwashers presumably with their cereal bowls and dinner plates.

now serving haemo slammers and milton chasers at the Cock and Mooncup Wink

don't tell him. No tell him.

I'm never buying a second hand dishwasher or microwave. Confused

How is a moon cup gross, Aries?

VerbeenaBeeks · 01/12/2018 09:20

I think Aries was alluding to the fact that sticking mooncups or the mugs you've "washed" them in in the dishwasher is gross, not the moon cup itself.

MemoryOfSleep · 01/12/2018 10:15

Oh dear, OP. Hope he didn't find out through the media coverage.

CallMeRachel · 01/12/2018 12:15

I've just finished reading the selfish male partner thread, so reading this made me proper laugh out loud!!

Disgusting but definitely don't tell him now, no good can possibly come from telling him! It's done now, you didn't intend to trick him (we hope)!! Just make sure it can't happen again.

Eliza9917 · 01/12/2018 12:35

And no different from a guy giving you oral when you're on your period
Do ppl actually do that?!

I expect a mooncup makes that much more possible.

Eliza9917 · 01/12/2018 12:44

@thewisewomansfear I'm not horrified at bodily fluids at all, I just don't think where I prepare food or the various recepticles or utensils I use for that need to have a mooncup near or in them. I take the jar in there to put hot water from the kettle in but don't wipe my arse in the kitchen, why would I wave a mooncup about in there?

TSSDNCOP · 01/12/2018 13:53

"if you think you are emancipated, you might consider the idea of tasting your own menstrual blood – if it makes you sick, you've a long way to go, baby

So, so many other less vom-inducing ways to feel emancipated I’ve found.

greeneyedlulu · 01/12/2018 15:21

Who the hell walks around drinking random cups of liquid???

No way would I walk in to my kitchen, see a full cup and think I'll drink that!!

delboysskinandblister · 01/12/2018 15:30

a dishwasher only heats to 65 degrees surely? Confused

Mine's sterilised in the bathroom. I'm sure you were all dying to know

Please tell me that me that loo brushes aren't really put in the dishwasher? Hmm

AnoukSpirit · 01/12/2018 18:06

Why would you keep a 15 year old stained mooncup now that you're postmenopausal? Are you planning to hand it down like some weird family heirloom?
