More Mooncup

[slemslempike]

Mooncup in place, and surprisingly I can't feel a thing. I mean, I know you're not supposed to be able to, and I do know that you can't feel tampons, but it's so much bigger than a tampon, that I couldn't quite believe that there wouldn't be some kind of discomfort. It was a little awkward putting it in - I decided to steer clear of the bathroom this time, in case of an unfortunate rebound incident - and I'm not particularly confident about taking it out easily, but I think it's good. Oh, if only it was a different make I'd have said "it's a Keeper"! Ahaha. But then the moon-ocle (retired) wouldn't have worked so well.

I got sterilising tablets for baby bottles - I figured that they would be sufficiently gentle yet cleansing. Plus, it's 60 tablets for 84p, and since it only takes half a tablet to sterilise, that should last me for the next ten years, easily. Except that they're best before 2009. Still.

I am going to tidy my room. I was going to do it last night, but I am definitely going to do it today. At some point. I have In America to watch while I do it, and cookies to eat as a reward for getting to certain points. I think the first milestone might have to be "turn off computer".

Oh, and there are RAW ONIONS in the fridge. Guess what my apples taste of? That's right. On the plus side, I now have cheese again, so I can have pizza-bread, cheese and apples, cheese on toast, cheese on crackers and sprinkled on top of spag bog.

Congratumalations on Mooncup success!

Cheese? Cheese is good. They don't have proper cheese in Germany. However, I have discovered that they sell Cathedral City in the English shop, so might have to partake at some point. Even if it is extortionately priced. Le sigh. ;-)

Well done for persevering with the mooncup. I only know one person who I know uses one, but she swears by it. Have you come across the LJ 'support' community menstrual_cups? I've no idea how useful it is, but I've seen it mentioned.

Yay CHEESE!

Oooh, yay! Hurrah!

Oooh but saying "it's a keeper" when it's a mooncup is even better in many ways yay:) Also yay for the comfortable and the workingness (I assume it is working as well as being comfortable yes). Mmmmmm onions and apples and cheese on toast mmmmmmm.

Oooh, am so tempted to get a mooncup. Keep us up to date on how it goes?

What kind of idiotic does it take to keep onions in the fridge? I like onions enormously, but the fridge? Insane.

I hope you had tissues for In America.

Here following links from New_Atalanta, and I wanted to say that I've used Instead for years. They are more like a diaphram in where they sit, but it's the same principal. I wouldn't change back to tampons, although I have to say that the changing/washing out thing in public places can be a bit... awkward at times.

Good luck with it.
