to think Mooncups???!!!! WTF?????

[SpookyBearistheSpookyBear]

well, am I?

No - I think that too!

Yes, you are.

Yes!

They're easy to use, comfortable, leak-proof and they are very ecological. And fantastic value for money!

I'm guessing you don't have one?

I only wish I'd known about mooncups ages ago.

I'm a recent convert and I'm delighted with it. It's so much LESS icky than tampons and pads.

Don't knock it til you've tried it.
I couldn't use anything else now

no - i couldnt stick anything unhuman up my flange. this includes everything you are thinking at this moment in time.

YABU.

Sorry.

What's to WTF about?

They work very well imo. I am happy with mine

i have one, i was a bit sqeamish at first but soon got used to it.

Are tampons really that bad for the environment ? Don't they just flush away like loo roll ? Curious, but still wouldn't want one.

YABU

100 years ago when women were using rags they thought WTF about tampons.

If you actually think about it there is nothing any more yucky or weird about mooncups than about tampons. It's just that we grew up knowing about tampons so that's what seems normal.

try to be a bit more open minded.

I certainly do not have one.

I do not knowingly know any RL people who do.

I would have imagined them to be a 'niche' product.

But they do rather seem to have taken over MN .

Are MNers a bunch of knit-your-own-placenta hippies on the whole?

Am I out of touch?

Sheesh, don't flush your tampons! Bin them.

Yes they are bad for the environment

Mooncups are fab - if there was no advantage to the environment I would still choose it every time. Comfortable and clean, and just, well, pleasant to use.

They might flush down the U-bend, chankins, but don't you ever wonder what has to happen after that? They certainly don't dissolve.

Actually, along with panty-liners and condoms, they often end up bobbing around in the sea, or washed up on the shoreline. Nice.

loo roll disintegrates. Tampons don't (or they wouldn't work ).

very childish

They are a lot LESS icky than tampons. You don't end up with a waste product full of blood that you have to wrap and put in the bin. Stinky bins full of tampons headed for landfill are a bit gross.

mooncups don't leak like tampons do and therefore causing less worry that everyone will know af has arrived!

we end up paddling with the tampons thats what happens to them!.i dont use a mooncup,i use fairy hammocks-am i even bigger wtf??!!!

I have come across tampons while diving

I have never yet spotted a mooncup

so, erm, how exactly do they work? how do you clean one when changing it?

explain, explain...

What's a fairy hammock?

Spooky consider yourself told off, and me too. Still don't want one though. Don't care if I'm childish thanks.

I wish they would make a moonbucket.
My cup runneth over.
When you have taken a child for a walk on a beach and had to scarper sharpish due to flotsam of tampons, panty liners and condoms, you too will consider the bountiful merits of a mooncup.

meh? mooncups?!! im intrigued and disturbed as to what this might be!!! heehee 'flange' might have to start using that not quite as nice as 'lady garden' tho!
