Mooncups evangelists thread

[FrannyandZooey]

I was asked to start this, honest.

Come and share a sisterly cup of organic carrot juice and tell us why you love yours.

Can't help, Shimmy, as not actually used one yet myself. But ROFL at clotpot!

Hello HM

AHh, shimmy, yes I know exactly what you mean, the not popping back in to shape thing. You know what you have to do? Twist it round until it goes "kerrrsquelch" and then jam it up a bit more.

I didn't use mine last cycle , couldn't be arsed. And I forgot to boil it. Hey ho

Thanks suzy -instructive!

i just bought one!
sorry franny, i could't wait

well infact dh just bought it for me.

here goes!

we could havea live on the net first usage of the moomcup extravaganza

remember to twist.

Dh calls mine my 'moonshine'

Have to say that I'm not one of the MNers who loves to look in the MC to see what I've 'made'. It just goes down the loo with a brief look to see how heavy I am, so I can guage timing.

I am a convert!!
Very easy and comfortble

LOL at teh instructions to take it out before you cut the stem

a sad mooncup giver-upper here - I really wanted it to work, but have had leakage nearly all the time. I don't think my pelvic floor is too bad, have tried twisting, running a finger around to check it's not kinked etc I would love to say it works, but it's worse then useless as I have to wear a sanitary towell too and it's just more hasle and yukky then tampons. The yukky bit being towells, not bothered by mooncup, in fact I quiet like seeing whats there.

Oh dear Glassofslime> What a nuisance and I would be very disappointed in your position as well

But hoorah for Oops!

OK. Another dumb question. How often do you have to change them? All but my first day or two are v v light. Could probably get away with emptying once or twice a day or is that too infrequent?

From the point of view of it being full up, I could probably go at least a day or two, but for hygiene's sake you need to empty and clean it at least 4 times in 24 hours

I ended up buying one today as I had a horrendous accident at work yesterday after my first af in 2 years appeared!
I thought I'd give it a real test and played hockey with it in and it was fab! even after stretches and throwing myself around (I'm a goalkeeper!) I had no leakage at all!
I have been converted!!!!!

OMG legacy! I clicked on this thread entirely accidentally (despite being a Mooncup Evangelist myself), and the first thing I saw was your Mooncup song. I've beeb biting the carpet trying to control myself PMSLROFL.

Probably have another 6m before I'll be using mine (bfing) - shall feel like a Mooncup Virgin all over again.
