Ladies only...

If you know of a way to help save our planet, even just a small part of it put it here. Also if you want to ask how to help, or even if you want to promote your environmental organisation. All goes here.

Congrats! Glad it worked out for you! Did you get help from the livejournal community? One day I'll have to try a Mooncup.. (I have a Diva).

I'm a mooncup convert too!

I LOVE my mooncup. Infact when I first started using it a couple of years ago I was completely evangelical about it! I used to suffer with bad thrush, but as soon as I swapped to the mooncup it dissapeared.

Has the bonus of being cheap (one off payment of around £18 compared to ongoing disposable costs)
Does not go to landfill
Does not contain bleach and other nasty chemicals
Makes you far more intouch with your cycle as you can see just how much you are menstruating and when
Menstrual blood makes a great fertiliser :)

PS this shouldn't say ladies only, you should be getting the men to spread the word to their OHs too!

Well I got a less than enthusiatic reception when I broached this with Mrs Wombat. Her take on it is - The system is about to shut down, and I'm not making any changes now! :?

I can definitely recomend a moon/diva cup/keeper.

And another good reason to use one is young children can't pull out your Lillets from your handbag in public spaces and throw them as missiles or ask "what's this for?" in a very loud voice :roll:

I use washable pads too, and they are soooo much more comfortable than disps.

Mooncup used to offer a 3-cycle, money back guarantee? Not sure if they still do, but good if you're not sure if you'll get on with it.
