often seen in the street without a hat

I, inspired by your example, bought a mooncup too. I managed my first period with it last week - I didn't drop it down the loo but every time I took it out (which was a lot) I worried about the suction prolapsing my uterus. I think my technique maybe needs a little work. It wasn't quite as leakproof as I had hoped and I found it tended to ride up with wear, but was easily as good as the alternatives. Plus it is supposed to last about 10 years so it should just about see me through to the menopause.I can hardly wait.
