Yep - the hardest part is being brave enough to put it in!

That doesn't bother me too much when you think what else is designed for puting in there

Would wait for the monthly as things tend to soften up that time of the month so easier to put in, think it's a hormonal thing.

That'd make sense. I guess theres also a bit more lubrication then as well to make things easier!!

It does say to practice a couple of times so you can get it right before the big day.

Problem is you can't tell if you have got it correct until the stuff is pouring out the sides and down your legs... :scared: :scared: :scared:

LOL - but that's unlikely to happen, isn't it? (she says hopefully)

Ok as I'm next due when we are on our way over, I think I'll stick to tampons this time - I don't want to be leaving a trail of the red stuff behind me everywhere I go!!!

Hmm maybe I should steralise now while theres no one around to ask!!!

I think they are different for non-baby bearing women and post baby bearing women cos your cervix changes shape after a pregnancy.

was reading the moneysavingexpert.com 'green and ethical' forum last night - there is a huge thread about mooncups and almost all who have posted on it give mooncups the thumbs up!
im going to give it a try, but will use my advantage points once they are up to 2000 (on 1800 at moment!!)

u can get them on boots points? cool

course you can! as long as you have enough points, you can usually spend em on what ever you want ... cept gift vouchers and baby milk for some strange reason, but yes, you can spend your points on whatever you want.

just wanted to add, that a lot of the posters on mse say they chop the stem off so there is only about 1/8 " left ... have any of you done that?

Yes, it was suggested on the pamplet that came with it. Just don't chop it too short or you'll have nothing to grab hold of.

I have an advantage card here Sue, if you want it, no idea how much is on it but you are welcome - strangely I can't use it here. Found it the other day

pmsl .. is that classed as 'one of those things you brought with you that you never intended to pack'???

cheers hun ... is there anything you need from boots i can send you??

I think I have a £5 Smiths card as well somewhere. Nothing I need from Boots thanks Sue, I was quite surprised to find chemists here that sold stuff just like Boots Seriously hun, PM me your addy and it's yours. Don't know why but feel it's a waste to throw it away Probably find it's only got 2 points on it

My sisters already claimed my card - I had about 1800 on it at the time but I've been spending on it
