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

[SpookyBearistheSpookyBear]

well, am I?

I've had mine ofr a year (I think) jajas. And it's still going strong! They're made of silicone, so I guess they could last for years, really...

About 5 years, lilo.

Skerry, are you for real?

The blood comes out with a mooncup, you know.

Pads are awful for the environment.

Yuck.

I would like to know more about mooncups and if they would suit me- where do I get this information? Thanks x.

Franny the Druid can get them dead cheap .

No - just no where to go, 2 kids and a leaky mooncup!

expat - pleas please tell me you did not cut it when you had it in?

skerry - the blood i sin the cup rather than mingin next to your fanjo

Actually, scratch that. It's been well over a year.

Kerrymum, I don't get your logic. Pads aren't exactly hygienic, are they? And tampons even worse from that p.o.v.

Yes it just sits in the cup, kerry

it comes out of your uterus and sits in the cup, near the bottom of your vagina

it isn't stuck inside you

Rach try their website or ask on here?

Um, no, fang. I would not shove a pair of scissors up my flange and the last time anything sharp when near it, it was a consultant holding a scalpel about to give me a forceps delivery.

I mean, cut it off carefully as in try not to wind up with a £20 funnel .

Cringe at the thought of towels.

Boak.

Smelly, like a big nappy, unhygenic and foosting away in a landfill.

Uggggh.

I am not doing an order at the moment but I might do one next month

watch this space

well, not this space

some other space, near this space

It's not 'clogged up', kerry, it's in a cup which you empty out every now and again.

phew! Just when you said be careful cutting the stem ...

I sometimes leave mine in all day ... you can easily forget its there

Do the organic ones go into landfull?

i really do love mine, actually. it's weird, right, but i now look forward to my period as i know it will clear out those PMT cobwebs, whereas i used to see it all as part of the same dreadful, painful experience.

The cup touches your vagina - the blood is in the cup - doesn't touch anything but I suppose if you did a handstand it could empty out.

i despair of some people's knowledge of their own bodies... if men had period we'd have passed o levels in this stuff.
unless you are lying down, kerry, the blood is in a cup. a mooncup. we've been discussing this for the whole thread.

It's in your vagina, not butted up against your cervix.
