Great title, C! But how do you sterilise a mooncup?

god that must stink

yep, best title ever, ROFL!

A normal person would put it in a saucepan of boiling water and let it boil for five minutes.

I on the other had, put it in about an hour ago and the water has all boiled out and the saucepan is now black.

read thread title and thought -

Wow. What a woman.

pmsl. sorry but yeuk

Aw, I'm cryin' a river. NOT.

Oh my this is amusing!

Sorry am I being thick in asking

"WTF is a mooncup? It doesn't sound nice!!"

plastic reusable cup thing you insert and use instead of a tampon.

what do you do to sterlise it?

So glad I opened this thread - I was having all sorts of visions that the mooncup wasn't in a saucepan but in ......erm maybe I shouldn't carry on with this pos

apparently you clean it in your dishwasher.

sorry - usual trick of posting first then reading rest of thread. I see now. I have heard rumours that some people put them in the dishwasher

Oh LOL QE!!!

can just imagine my dh face if he unloaded THAT. - might buy one just to stick it in the dishwasher and gross him out!!!!!

i wondered the same thing but realised what it must be. I used to have one & forgot it beside the bath when I was rooming with a family in Richmond. The lady of the house tactfully left it on my bed on a pile of clean towels. I was only 18 and completely mortified.

Think I am going to be ill now!!!

I have never heard of a Mooncup, is it something to do with Ozone friendly?

Can you get them at Tupperware parties????
