Would you buy a second-hand mooncup?

[policywonk]

Genuine question... After a good boil obviously.

I sent mine back - but I assume they didn't just repackage it and send it to someone else. I hope they didn't!

I would too. Just me and someone called Fanjolina, it seems

only if it had a matching secondhand moonsaucer...

fc - I wouldn't wear second hand knickers either, but I will use DH's toothbrush.

oh blimey yes Cica, they may have been used with re-cycled rubber from previous owners.

I am feeling so queasy now, I need to hide this thread, but seem to be glued to it like some horror movie

japanese businessman - oh the filthy perve!

I was just sitting here after reading more posts about the Mooncup and wondering how long it will take me to save up for one. It's going to take me a very long time as I'm currently trying to feed, clothe and everything else my family on around £25~£30 a week. So, my answer is yes, I'd buy a second hand Mooncup if it was the right price.

how much do you spend on sanitary gear at the moment. It would pay for itself very quickly even a new one - about 18 quid i think i paid for mine, but you can have it for a fiver

shall we lobby mnhq to start a classified wanted/for sale 'sanitary wear' section

Are there other sorts of sanitary wear that could be included in a secondhand/pre-loved section?

The very thought of the mooncup had me in a spin for days.

Probably not, but I'd think that I was being a bit irrational too - fanjolina makes a good point, after all... pw - I reckon you didn't put it high up enough. Don't listen to Franny and her weirdy it-must-be-low-down ways.

cica- have you never heard of the rather fetchingly named 'fairy hammocks'

wontbe - "fairy hammocks"? please explain.

washable sanitary pads- why they can't just call them that i don't know!

Dear lord! I didn't think they made that sort of thing anymore.

They'll be selling pre-loved dentures on e-bay next.

(Don't tell me if they are.I've learnt enough today.)

I went to a green festival a while back and there was a stall selling the rather horridly named 'jam sponges' they are natural sponges that you still up your fanjo instead of a tampon and then wash out afterwards and re-use. lovely.

solo, would you like me to CAT you?

Habs, I've tried it every which way, honest. I tried putting it so far up that I could nearly taste it but that just gave me vile headaches (weirdly).

I've thought about those sponges, but they only last for six months or so, so don't work out a lot cheaper than tampons - mind you, at least they're reusable. I might try those the next time I have an urge to experiment with my sanitary products.

eeew. no. no no no nonononnnno
no second hand anything that has been in or contained anyone elses body fluids. eeew
just put it in the bloody bin.
no

if you have sex with someone who is not a virgin then you are putting something in you that has been in someone else

that is why i don't. unless very very drunk.

Rationality won't get you very far on this thread, BBBee .

no

The only people who would buy them are the people who keep the trade in used knickers going. If you want your mooncup to be sniffed and pleasured over, go ahead. Please post a photo though. I want to see if you really can kill the discolouration with milton

no

i cant get the discoloration out of mine with milton by the way

and i have tried very hard... can get most of the discolouration out with hot water and then milton, but not all and cnat get it out 100% from within the letters... esp in the middle of the "O"s and "P"

LOL nannyl - you've clearly examined it closely.
