So, erm, how do you er, I mean, I sort of managed, but, erm, could you advise, possibly, the best way to erm, hmm, perhaps

Hmm.

Will be lurking with interest!!

A mooncup I gather...what do you want to know?

MrsBadcrumble · 02/08/2006 20:54

Bear down and rock it back and forth?

Is it one of those you've bought?

Or a rampant rabbit, in which case, well, the above advice probably isn't that far off the mark either.

Spagblog · 02/08/2006 20:55

I knew it'd be a mooncup thread!

surely not a mooncup? franny ought to have one of those already

hairymclary · 02/08/2006 20:58

you'll get used to the schlurp

FrannyandZooey · 02/08/2006 20:58

Ok is it meant to have such great suction that you have to slide it down and then it off one of your labia?

FrannyandZooey · 02/08/2006 20:59

I know hairy

have said many times am only a faux weaver

everyone just makes it up, I am a normal lady with no sandals at all really

hairymclary · 02/08/2006 21:01

erm no. i usually give the base a little squeeze and a twist and it un-suctions itself

lemonaid · 02/08/2006 21:02

Oh yes, definite schlurpage. Although I think I manage to break the schlurpy seal before I get as far as my labia. If you can get your thumb and finger to grip it by pushing in slightly above the base of the cup bit, thus breaking the seal, it's less schlurpy than if you just try to yank it out by the stem.

TambaIsBadBadBad · 02/08/2006 21:04

I soooo knew it would be a mooncup

FrannyandZooey · 02/08/2006 21:05

Ok. That's good advice.

The other thing is, I have rather long nails. This doesn't seem to be compatible with mooncup use, so far. Have others found this or am I doing it wrong?

OP posts:
hairymclary · 02/08/2006 21:06

don't know about nails. Mine are very short for playin my geeetar

Amiable · 02/08/2006 21:07

Sorry Franny, but I have just spat red wine over my keyboard cos of your post!

however, I am thinking of getting one of these mooncup thingies so this knowledge will come in very useful!

FrannyandZooey · 02/08/2006 21:09

that's what I like to hear Amiable (nice name, btw. Do you think you will last long round here? )

which one in particular, so I can add it to my list of victories?

PMSL.....am trying not to pee!!!!!!

got the mini psycho's here now (who had been in bed....grrr)...asking and pleading for me to tell them.....

how do I explain THIS!!!!!!!!

FrannyandZooey · 02/08/2006 21:17

LOL ds found it in its cute little box and pouch earlier

"What's this mummy?"

"Oh it's my new mooncup." (straight answer usually ends the subject faster I have found)

"What's it for?"

"Oh, for collecting stuff."

"Mummy, why aren't you eating out of your new egg cup?"

PrettyCandles · 02/08/2006 21:32

PMSL!

I found it best to trim the relevant nails at first (internal pinching - ouch! ), but once you get used to it you may not need to trim them.

You definitely shouldn't be sink-plungering your labia, by the time it gets that far most of the suction should be gone. Try rocking or spiraling it out so that it comes out one edge at a time rather than all in one go. Bearing down and flapping your lips helps.

FrannyandZooey · 02/08/2006 21:34

"Bearing down and flapping your lips helps"

Oh man

that is a new one on me

I am meant to be able to flap them?

No, not those lips!

The ones about a metre or so above them when you stand up.
