Rach I don't think it happens often, but it is vaguely possible. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for you - what is the harm in trying?

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:43

Boco - tis only a couple of seven letter words and two triple word scores - not rocket science!

FrannytheDruid · 06/10/2007 22:46

I'm not having that

Boco's scrabble score was farking marvellous

you had to be there

fangs watch it we will be challenging you to a game next

(the threat comes in the fact that i will bore you to death with my ponderous and low scoring play )

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:53

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:55

LOL - there is nothing worse than a slow player yawn yawn - sucks the air from the room yawn yawn - if you are happy with an intolerably low score then thats fine - but you really should be in it to win it and winning isn't just everything, its the only thing!

And on that note of wonderous wisdom - I am off to bed!

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:56

ah you cannot look - that is cheating!

holeyguacamoley · 06/10/2007 22:56

I would love a mooncup! However I have four children and when I do breaststroke I feel I am taking on water and I may sink! Do you think it would fall out? As It happens my contraceptive implant (implanon) seems to give me no loss at all. Is this common? The lack of bleeding and the taking on water. I would love to hear from you!

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:58

lordy - you sounds like that unfortunate ferry - mine isn't quite that big and would def give it a miss if yo do take on water - it may float out!

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 22:59

terrible english - night night xx

FrannytheDruid · 06/10/2007 22:59

holey another poster says she feels it fills up when she swims

i would say you need to check your seal and possibly do pelvic floors until you feel it improves? Sorry don't know about the implant

f+f - cheating - pah

AitchyBabesHugz2AllUHunnis · 06/10/2007 23:00

f&f who are you btw?

susiecutie · 06/10/2007 23:00

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

FrannytheDruid · 06/10/2007 23:01

Aitch, Boco, our work here is done

AitchyBabesHugz2AllUHunnis · 06/10/2007 23:02

did you get an answer on the back pain/sling thing, btw, susie?

AitchyBabesHugz2AllUHunnis · 06/10/2007 23:03

frank this always happens on the Mooncup WTF threads... no such thing as bad publicity.

Habbibu · 06/10/2007 23:03

Have you counted the number of converts? (me too, by the way)

fangsandflash · 06/10/2007 23:04

I am Octo or octoandflash but I have my fangs in for Halloween I only tend to engage in convo's I know something about and mooncups, nappies and scrabble are def on my list!

JoFan · 06/10/2007 23:04

count me in with converts.
