After managing to pee everywhere except the cone, I gave up.....so you can see why I'm not keen!

Still not sure I would like to be using them on our camping trips away!!! Think I will stick to what I know on this score.... :eek: :D |

I just ordered one off eBay in the UK. OMG! :scared: totally not for me! found them REALLY difficult to use, and bloody painful afterwards. Think all the training of my pelvic floor muscles rather put me at a disadvantage! stick with me compacts I think |

Re: Mooncup update...
they're were very awkward for me to get in and out - and to get it out (god this is getting to be VERY explicit but hey!) you need 2 fingers to go get the end of it, and not just pull the end of it, you actually have to get your fingers around either side if the bottom of it. well it was a struggle, the pamphlet says relax but after realising what actually has to go on to retrieve it my muscles wouldnt realx so it took about 5 minutes and was very painful.
definately not for me - and I normally use Super Tampax so its not like I have a problem with them. so it boils down to the fact that your finger and thumb have to "go in" then grab onto the end and pull it down. It was not a pleasant experience by any means! god - pity the poor men stumbling across this thread :p |

Also not used it at night yet. Seem to sleep heavier here than I did in the UK. Upshot it, thought I would hate it, but don't. :D |
