i didn't see a topic made about this yet. i have never heard of it until today, really.
Mooncup, what is it? QUOTE a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one imo it looks uncomfortable but it is made out of "soft silicone rubber" but i don't know. i couldn't imagine inserting that, i already have issues with tampons but hey. since it is reusable, i think it might be a hassle washing it out. the whole process just seems unsanitary source: http://www.mooncup.co.uk/index.htm |

Hehe! Looks interesting. The instructions looks odd though.. Iuno. Actually, the whole thing looks odd, but hey, if it helps, I'd buy it. Too bad I wouldn't pay $17 for such a thing. :[

I don't really get it....like what if it tipped? or spilled? I'm sure it works fine if you do it right, but if you put it wrong, you could be royally screwed.

umm that is something I dont think I would use. I mean.. what if you're in between classes and it's full? do you dump it out in the toilet? It seems like it would get messy and if I came out of the stall with blood all over my hands, that would look a little weird

I definitely wouldn't use this.
I would feel uncomfortable with something sticking in my vagina. I'd prefer pads, thanks. |

Never thought of that, but that makes sense now.
The cup part is, of course, obvious. |

It seems like it would get messy and if I came out of the stall with blood all over my hands, that would look a little weird it does seem like a hassle but i don't think anybody would dump/rinse it out in public. besides it holds a lot already wow! they have divacups too, but they're basically the same thing. divacup |

It seems like it would be messy.
Some of the testimonials are.. kind of comical ![]() QUOTE We just got ourselves a mooncup each and are skipping with joy that is mooncupness. the little bags are really cute and the liitle blue ribbons are very pretty. but the actual moncup itself looks kind of scary and medical and we think they should come in different colours and maybe with sparkles. just because something is useful doesn't mean it can't be pretty too. Other than this we think mooncups are fabulous and are currently attempting to convert all our friends to the wonder of mooncups.
p.s. would it be possible to get some more stickers. I made the foolish mistake of getting my new mooncup out to show my sister while in a bar with some friends and some of the boys decided they wanted to wear the stickers." |

QUOTE(say_what_you_mean @ Aug 12 2005, 12:54 AM) rofl i didn't even read most of the testimonials. haha thats just hilarous QUOTE same and also how did they come up with the name as somebody mentioned.. it seems awful to use.. and to think its 17 bucks. it is more environmentally friendly but.. ew? you're using the same thing over and over again that probably if not washed properly can get you some diease.. pads are fine. thanks from the site "The Mooncup can be cleaned in the same way as baby equipment: with sterilising fluid, or by boiling for five minutes in an open pan of water" well if you're going to use it for yourself, why wouldn't you wash it properly.. |
