Mooncup
by KarenF @ 2006-03-06 - 12:55:20

I've had my mooncupfor about a year now, and it has been one of the best things I've ever bought. It is a silicon cup you use in place of a tampon. No environmental impact, no absorption of your normal vaginal secretions, no danger of toxic shock, no more money spent every month on tampons.

Only one of my friends has tried it, and most of them seem to think it is a weird hippy Karen sort of thing that only a lunatic who used real nappies would do. (Real nappies are easy nowadays, but this is even easier).

I bought my sister one for Christmas, and she was most unimpressed. Then finally, after much persuasion on my part and much whingeing on hers, last week she used it, and now she is as evangelical as me.

Everyone, get one NOW! Even the men! They're GREAT!

OK. You're the 2nd person on here to advocate a Mooncup. Trouble is, ever since No3child, I've been unable to use tampons anyway. Just the thought - and this is from a person who never used a towel since her 1st period.

Why haven't you been able to use them? (E-mail me off here if it is a private thing, or just ignore me because I am far too intrusive!) If it is because of a bit of a uterus prolapse, then I was having the same problem - basically the tampon was moving higher than my cervix. But this is fine with the mooncup - you position it in relation to your cervix and it catches everything. My periods are so heavy that for one day I use towels too anyway; but prior to my mooncup I couldn't leave the house as the largest tampon plus the most massive pad would only last 20 minutes. Now I get at least a couple of hours (usually three or more) out of a mooncup and slim pad on that day.

I also find that with my patchwork quilt of episiotomies, tampons would irritate me. That doesn't happen with a mooncup either.

presumably this is just like a dutch cap, going over the cervix ? sounds good but it won't catch on in our throw-away society. i know someone who throws out whatever isn't eaten for a meal and thinks i'm a skinflint for freezing what's left so i don't have to cook another day.

wonder if the inventor could turn their attention to shaving - i'd like to be able to use a razor that doesn't cut my face on a daily basis.
