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

[SpookyBearistheSpookyBear]

well, am I?

What is "The Document"????

Foofi - I know

Yes

in a pan

and then I cook in the pan

(it hasn't got BLOOD in it when I boil it. It's just a bit of rubber)

I use the pan that I boil the dog mince in.

Sorry X-posted with like a million people

I have many secret documents. I think SpookyBear wants the one about heuristic play.

I use the pan that I made your last cup of tea in.

Franny, hactually, it is silicone, not latex, so you cannot call it rubber.

I don't boil mine. I put it in a cup with a bit of sterilising tablet. Not sure if its really necessary. I've been using it for 4 months and it leaks but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Possibly I need a new pelvic floor . I can't seem to get it to form a seal.

Lol at Gingerbear.

Thanks re Document F&Z

I found that mine leaked because I was inserting it too far. Now I have the technique.

1 Insert
2 Clench vaginal muscles and tug down gently
3 Check that it has fully unfolded by running finger round neck

Oh yes, and wipe yourself before, during and after to avoid smearing.

Gosh talk abput tmi...

I do have a special pan for the mooncup. But it is one had seen much active service before being reserved for special duties.

You have a keeper? Wossat? Sounds like something out of a Harry Potter book

OK, sold! Will try one. Just one question.... what do you do at work when you need to empty & rinse them? The sinks in our loos are separate to the toilets, ie no privacy.

My pelvic floor is totally f**d so am guessing they're not for me. Even if I didn't think WTF .

YANBU. YABIgnorant though.
They're great! Other methods are foolish, clumsy, dated and quaint.

I see tampon users like I see village women who believe in witchcraft and think the world is flat.

You'll catch up, eventually.

Ah ha....

and by heuristic play you mean.......?

plummy's technique

Bottle of water in the handbag Lilo. Or just put it back in without rinsing.

i use the dishwasher. it's wiped clean and rinsed beforehand, the dishwasher sterilises it. then i boil it in a pan before i use it.
i find it a bit weird that people are so easily squicked, by the way...

What does squicked mean ? (I'm ignorant)

Oh spooky dont worry. I understand they do 3 sizes of mooncup.

Normal/Pre-Birth
Post Birth
Wizards sleeve.

How low down should it be when its inside? I've cut all the stem off but judging by the length of it if you don't trim it it should be about level with your nipples

It need emptying so infrequently you would probably rarely need to do it. I think uughh at just wiping it with loo roll. I have gone a whole work shift not emptying it TBH

lol lol lol
How can you have been on MN since 2006 and not know about mooncup usage?!
