laydeees, I am sold on one now, having read this thread, you have been succesful in converting me... I even chatted to a friend of mine about it today, and she agreed too... sounds far better than tampons.
Always hated the idea of the fibers being left up there. always hate the fact that they get flushed. hate towels too... and most of all, HATE HATE HATE the fact that i have to ask ( well not literally) for money for tampons.
Dh bought them with other stuff for dd in boots a few weeks ago, and i felt so erm... 'kept'. cant even buy my own sanitary stuff!
will order my mooncup tomorrow...
thank you all for convincing me.
My sister will have a field day on this one... i've converted so many to soap nuts, preached about the virtues of washable nappies and now a bearer of the mooncup. seems the earthmother title may be valid after all
