Hi ladies ,

I've got moneypen's permission to open another thread seeing as Part 1 was closed 'cause it got too big and Part 2 was closed 'cause someone got their boxer's in a twist (men: read the title and don't read on if you're easily upset ).

Let the discussions continue: she-wees, mooncups, tampons, "with-wings", wash 'n wear pads [shudder] - bring it on!

For those who missed Part 1 and Part 2: Get yourself a drink and get ready for a loooong read:

Part 1: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...=380766&page=1

Part 2: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=555875

Let's keep Part 3 going, going, going ..... play nice .

and for those who don't like the see through Mooncup theirs ...The Keeper. Available since 1987, this is the alternative feminine hygiene product made from natural gum rubber (latex) and offered in two sizes (A and B). Approved by the FDA, The Keeper is used by women worldwide.

And this is an alternative - a disposable version, which could be used more than once....though strictly speaking it's not recommended.

I have even been known to post a free sample

Nope, couldn't use that it was humoungous and it had the air of using a plastic packer mac and you would have had to have had triplets to fit that ring up it was like half a tennis ball. Although, a moon cup could then be compared to Hunter Wellies I suppose...

Possums

and you CAN buy tampons in Australia, they are just inserted the other way round

annqldau

Could do that with men to and it may be an improvement...

Just realised it says Tasmania under your name still, thought you'd gone back to the UK?

Scrawni 2

Does anyone actually use a, 'Mooncup' or 'Soft Cup'? Never heard of them before this thread started. I wouldn't think it would be very comfortable.

Ozzidoc

Soft cup. Much more comfy than tampons.

Safin

Mooncup... but cut the tail thingy off

Doesn't soft cup defeat the object of not using disposable options

irishfamily

Scrawni2 my mate used the mooncup and said she had worse cramps so don`t fancy trying it the thought of reusing something again not 4 me lol

Safin

cramps much better not worse for me -

depends how you feel about putting things in I guess, and gore.... actually it was fascinating in a gross way as its not all what you expect ..enough detail i think

as for reusing its sterilized and not everything that goes that way has been sterilized first!!!!!

Safin

did i just volunteer that much personal info - god I hope no-one on here know who I am!!!!!

Possums

nope we are still in Tassie been here 17 months now, don't know where you got that from? .

Possums
