I just had a look on greenbeans website and it talks about different sizes (diameters) of mooncups. Does 3mm make that much difference?

i dont see how a mooncup could be more gross than a tampon?! they essentially sit in the same place, you have to put them there and you have to take them out again.

I agree!! And with pads....you have them sitting around your house until rubbish day. Yuk!! At least with reusbale ones I can chuck them through the wash with the nappies and I don't have blood soaked pads sitting in my rubbish.

as it is also referred to as "having your rags"

Old curtains or sheets, cut into pieces work well but they bunch up & ya get bad chaff LOL LOCIA ain't cool tho with the clots & gunk- i opt for the pads "other" people have touched & machines have put together etc etc

LMAO will sanitary pads & tampons stand this test of time or will earth die before man?

I'm with you. For me it's the kind of thing that I want to just get rid off, not have to double handle things to tip the stuff out.

Each to their own though, and I'm glad there are different options available for everyone.

I had heard this, I just wish it had been more out there so younger people knew about them (I would of prefered one over the amount of money my mum spend on stuff for me as a teenager sometimes bleeding everyday for months on end).

I've been mulling over this for a while, but can't really imagine myself "selling" (telling about) mooncups to teenagers But then, I haven't tried one either. I'm of the opinion that I'll save myself a heap of tampons/pads by having so many babies!!! j/k

ahhhhh but if they had been promoted as much as tampons think how much money those tampon companies would have lost!!!

Kinda like how disposable companies make so much money, they have more money to push thier products and therefore get more money from poor consumers who aren't aware they had other options!
