well it has taken months and I had all but given up but I FINALLY love my mooncup

[mrsflowerpot]

Have had it months and months, never got to grips with it - it didn't actually make it out of its bag the last 2 months. But I got caught short so to speak late on Sunday night and tried again - and this time I have obviously acquired the knack and it has worked like a dream.

Just thought I'd share .

Thank you for sharing!

I am considering getting one...do boots sell them?

well dh declines to listen to any sentence that contains the word 'mooncup' and I had to tell someone...

please offer advice

mine is a right faff and I can't get it in far enough most of the time

when it is in it is great

but I usually abandon it after a day

and yes I have cut the damn stem off

I think the bigger Boots do BOB.

bootsa do them and loads of the cloth nappy companies sell them in the mom section.

haven't had a period yet since i heard about them but am sadly excited about trying it!

my prob with my mooncup is that its great for the first few days. fits nicely, no discomfort. but as it gets towards the end it starts feeling all scratchy and i end up using alternative products.

I have been looking at the mooncup and am a bit that I would need the biggest size, makes me feel like a bit of a "goer" iyswim

I find that my mooncup is not so good during my really heavy days (am really heavy) but fantastic the rest of the time. Has still saved me a fortune in tampons.

LOL Mrsflowerpot at your DH refusing to listen to any sentence with mooncup in!!!

Good to hear sucess I hate mine, it always feels massive and uncomfortable. Was pg and haven't got periods back yet (hurrah!!) but might give it another whirl, although that sounds ouchy!

Wildwoman I have sold many many mooncups on here and only 3 have been the smaller size, so you are in good company

Got any good tips to pass on? Still struggling with mine too and I've had it for ages.

My DH also doesn't want to hear a word about mooncups either! He practically puts his fingers in his ears if I mention it.

I have days when I have to work hard not to completely forget that it is there and one day or so a month or so when it is uncomfortable and I wish it wasn't there. I don't know what I do that makes a difference but I am very glad I have it. It has saved me lots of money already. Thanks again to F&Z for organising it. They sell them in some health/environment type shops too. Homeopathic type places. They don't have them in my local Boots.

Pleased to hear it mrsflowerpot

I don't know what to say to those who are struggling... other than lots of practice. I've been using mine for ages now but still get it wrong occasionally
