So you don't remove half your insides with the suction!

Lact8 · 28/09/2006 23:20

ROFL!!!

Use your finger to break the suction and then it should just pop out

misdee · 28/09/2006 23:20

bear down. and grip.

misdee · 28/09/2006 23:20

yes and use a finger.

norkmaiden · 28/09/2006 23:21

rotate slightly always works for me (breaks suctions). hth!

norkmaiden · 28/09/2006 23:21

MamaGlamourPuss · 28/09/2006 23:22

OK thanks girls I'll bear down, grip, use a finger and rotate it slightly. Can't possibly fail! dh looked somewhat horrified when he saw the MC for the first time, ds wanted to play with it in the bath! If I can cure the suction I'm a true convert.

Does anyone else shudder at the moment it 'emerges', iykwim? Think I get a faint flashback to birth, just the tiniest bit but all the same...

MamaGlamourPuss · 28/09/2006 23:35

I think DH would divorce me if I got one. WHen I told him what they were he was absolutely horrified!!! HE asked if they used a moonpan to boil it in. we sniggered like children

Lact8 · 28/09/2006 23:35

Lol norkmaiden!

This is something I've not told anyone in RL

First time I took mine out, it sprayed me!!

Lact8 · 28/09/2006 23:36

Accidental stalking then MG

God I'm good at this

MamaGlamourPuss · 28/09/2006 23:37

SPRAYED ON YOU! If that hasn't put me off for life, nothing else will.

By the wya Lact8 - did you notice that I invited you to my MN dinner party a couple of months ago? Though I may as well, seeing as you'd turn up anyway

norkmaiden · 28/09/2006 23:38

LOL at moonpan MamaG! A new line in MC accessories, there's a thought (can never bring myself to boil it in regular cooking saucepan, so I have a random never-used-otherwise mug for dunking it in boiling water for a bit )

Lact8 - don't you just love em!

Lact8 · 28/09/2006 23:43

Oh, I was there MamaG

just cause you couldn't see me

Have been off MN for a while, lost about a stone

Back on here for a week and can feel it all creeping back on!

Have mastered the art of non splashy Mooncup removal now

I'm on a mission to convert women. 2 RL friends went and bought them today. Maybe I should warn them about the splash thing?

monkeytrousers · 28/09/2006 23:44

push!

wrinklytum · 28/09/2006 23:56

OK,so Ive had a few glasses of wine for the first time in ages,but where does one get a mooncup from? Are they worth the hype?

squidette · 29/09/2006 00:05

wrinkly -

After having my coil removed earlier in the week, i have been lurking around the 'mooncup' threads here! I had never heard of them before (probably due to the fact the i havent needed anything for such a long time) and was intrigued!

Its a great idea i think. I just ordered one today from the website and ... dare i say it, am quite excited about it all!

wrinklytum · 29/09/2006 00:41

Is it a mumsnet secret ?
