Has mumsnet set me up by asking for a Mooncup in Superdrug?

[QE2]

I had never ever heard of mooncups before mumsnet, but I am keen to be environmentally friendlier and save money.

I went into Superdrug this morning and when I couldn't find any Mooncups on the shelves, I asked the sales girl if they had any.

She looked completely baffled and called her colleague over to see if she knew what on earth I was talking about. So there I am explaining in great detail exactly what a Mooncup is for with a queue full of shoppers behind me and two giggly, perplexed Saturday workers in front of me.

So, do Mooncups really exist or has mumsnet set me up here?

Men hey!! Must admit dh was the same but has banned me from buying one! Says I will be evicted if I do..! .

PC now that is funny!!

I am soooo tempted to buy one and give it a go ..... but the thought of an embarrassing trip to A&E haunts me! I am bound to get it 'lost'!!!

you won't lose it poppies unless you have a 'gina like a windsock - they are huge.

Now there's an image! Poppies' own windsock....

LOL Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Dh calls it a clowns pocket! Never heard it called a windsock.!!!

Poppies, could you imagine, Dr's foot on your bum and other foot on the floor as he frantically pulls at your mooncup .

go on QE2, you'll save loads of money & the planet too.
they are fine and dandy.
the only drawback I think is that when using a shared loo at work I take a wet wipe to clean my fingers afterwards as I don't want to come out from the cubicle all bloody to wash my hands.

I bought one in Boots. and I do like it, however I had a Uti recently and I think it was due to the mooncup. I have not had one for 20 years

Shhhh, my favourite line from 'two pints of lager' is when Janet is accused of being a baby bore and answers "How dare you! 14 hours of labour!, Miracle of life (gesturing at baby), chuff like a wizard's sleeve!" It always makes me laugh .
