When we were in Edinburgh they also offered very limited recycling for tenements, which made no sense since over 70% of the housing stock there is flats, many with no access to a garden or space for storing up recycling.

Luckily, we had a recycling centre at a Co-op a short walk away.

A bit fat? Do you think it will make an unsightly line under your clothes? Actually, I'm thinking of asking for size C - my daughter was 10lb 11oz - can't see poor little mooncup holding on after what she did to me...

Kerry, listen. Some people put it high up, but most people put it way way down near the lips of their vagina. It isn't near your cervix or uterus or anything. it's a cup, at the bottom of your vagina, with blood in it, catching the blood and stopping it falling out onto your pants. It isn't keeping it inside you, other than to stop it getting on your clothes. Honest. Aitch wears her high but it still isn't keeping the blood in her uterus, or cervix, or anywhere, except in the cup.

FrannytheDruid · 06/10/2007 22:25

LOL yes, it is really uncomfortable. That's why we all love it and think you should try it.

I wonder how many people have been convinced by this thread, - and how many tampons every month will no longer be bobbing about in the sea or rotting in a landfill site - if say 5 people get a mooncup - and they usually each use say 5 tampons in 24 hours over 4 days, that's 100 less festering tampons a month!

I don't get your argument Kerry - your body is full of blood, as long as it's in your body, a few hours isn't going to make any difference.

FrannytheDruid · 06/10/2007 22:26

You can't have sex with one in. Who said you could?

Habbibu · 06/10/2007 22:26

F&F?

ScaremyVile · 06/10/2007 22:26

20 quid seems a bit steep....

Is there anywhere I could buy second-hand?

expatinscotland · 06/10/2007 22:26

I wear mine up high, too, but I have a wonky vagina.

I have to really work to find my cervix since having kids.

I suspect I may have a fistula as well, but I'm not going to go into that just now.

No - can have sex now have my mirena and now have found mooncup and keep it by my side - can go out! (had lost it when pg with ds3) I kept having these mad flooding moments where blood would gush out - but with mooncup - know its not going to leak - don't wear it every day but do keep it about

AitchyBabesHugz2AllUHunnis · 06/10/2007 22:28

you cannot fucking feel the thing once it's in. you just can't. CAN'T! look, fair enough if you don't want one but you are being silly about this. there is nothing comfortable about having a damp sanitary towel in your pants, dry-weave topsheet or not.

gosh that was jumbled

have never tried sex with it in and not sure dh even knows it exists (mooncup btw! )

Habbibu · 06/10/2007 22:29

Oh - Kerry - I thought F&F was some sort of sexual technique. I think I should go to bed. This is what happens when I'm left on my own for the evening.

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:30

well said aitch

Hurrah! another convert.
and you can have sex using a mooncup... you just take it out and then put it back in again. it catches everything!

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:30

LMAO @ F&F

FrannytheDruid · 06/10/2007 22:31

Boco, 100 fewer [tetchy being thrashed at Scrabble emoticon]

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:31

gosh that was even worse typing - a bit fishy - should go to bed

Boco · 06/10/2007 22:31

Hooray - Kerry is a Konvert! Will you really give it a try?

expatinscotland · 06/10/2007 22:32

I hate having sex whilst having a period.

I can't feel a damn thing and I find it uncomfortable.

Thankfully, DH isn't bothered by that.
