lol lilo. I'm just worried that having 4 children and not doing any pelvic floor exercises, it will fall out when I'm at the post office!

BabiesEverywhere · 05/10/2007 23:32

-along with all manner of other things up peoples flanges.

You can't leave it at that...spill it...what have you found !?!

lilolilmanchester · 05/10/2007 23:32

Can see a market for a MN "I love my mooncup" t-shirt!!!

corblimeycharlie · 05/10/2007 23:33

Oh yes! I do not miss the sensation of trying to remove a dry tampon when my period was at an end, but not enough to go without.
Fair sets my teeth on edge.

Sorry if TMI.

I like the fact that it comes in a small drawstring bag with a Laura Ashley style print.

gibberish · 05/10/2007 23:35

I get cramps with tampons. Sounds like I won't with the mooncup.

a lady with a lemon... we had to remove it with a cork screw type instrument...

a string of pearls, whch had got very knotted and jammed in...

erm.. a man who 'fell down the stairs onto his shopping' and onto a king edward potato up his bottie... i kid you not.

and other stuff... veggies which had snapped off...

gibberish · 05/10/2007 23:39

ROFL! Would some of those contribute to their five a day?

BabiesEverywhere · 05/10/2007 23:39

susiecutie How do you keep a straight face ?

susiecutie · 05/10/2007 23:45

Because, i'm a professional...i'm now very professional and convincing at finding a good reason to leave the cubical and let go out of ears shot...

no seriously, i don't usually laugh because you can see the embarrassment on the 'victims' face, its enough to keep your face straight... i say victim, as 9/10 it is the loving partner who has inserted said object..

ROFL at counting as five a day! will have to remember that one!!

not worked in A&E for a long time now... miss that kind of variety!

You see - this is where I wonder if it would help my period pains - I dont use tampons and havent done for years (except on holiday if im unfortunate to have af on holiday) for all the aforementioned reasons.

I still get really awful cramping, pains and heavy bleeding.

I really must go and buy one and see though - cant get any worse, can it?

harpsicorpsecarrier · 06/10/2007 08:55

they are marvellous, I am completely converted. I know loads of others who use them because I am evangelical about them and keep persuading everyone . I think it is much more hygienic and easier to deal with.
I can't imagine why my dh would give a flying carrot what I used to deal with my menstrual flow, unless it was one of his socks or something.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 06/10/2007 09:01

Yes, DP often objects when I try and stem the flow with a pair of his best skants.

FrannyandZombie · 06/10/2007 09:04

He would object because it is HIS vagina, of course, HC

so it is up to him what you put in it. After all, it might be a turn off if you choose the wrong thing.

harpsicorpsecarrier · 06/10/2007 09:11

oh I see
does his penis belong to me?
should I insist he gets circumcised, just for a larf?

harpsicorpsecarrier · 06/10/2007 09:11

(honestly QV you should try one)

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 09:27

Somewheeeeere oveeer the Mooncup! ....

There is something very priemval abought gathereing up ones own menstrual fluids and tipping it out the toilet...

In the "old" days it was harvested to use in magic as it was a very potent ingredient in fertility spells. Menstruation Blood Cookies, I kid you not I have a recipe in one of my more interestin books....

Now I can so envisage the old witches of past using mooncups.....

Think I'll pass...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 06/10/2007 09:31

LOL...

perhaps there is a market for 'saucy' mooncups in seductive colours, or with gems hanging off of them or something? Maybe vibrating ones? It's all about the man, after all...

I may invest in one to use after the wedding. I am chemically postponing my af until after as I was due on on the day....I suspect the ensuing af will be a rather 'pent up' one....

JennaJ · 06/10/2007 10:04

I LOVE my mooncup...

Couldn't imagine af without it now!

Jenna

harpsicorpsecarrier · 06/10/2007 10:07

er well we collect the mestrual fluid anyway don't we?

unless the menstrual fairies magic yours away leaving a sprinkling of magic dust in its place

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 10:12

harpsi, yup. Fairy dust, that is what is left in my fairy hammoc.

ScaryScaryNight · 06/10/2007 10:13

What if you are jumping, is it sloshing about?

What if you are doing cartwheels or doing a handstand, does it go back in?

SqueakyBroomstickBrushes · 06/10/2007 10:19

what's the risk of toxic shock syndrome with mooncups?
