Body parts aside, I have had problems like that too and agree that it is probably a seal thing. I usually wear a cloth liner anyway, through my whole period just in case.]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:35:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215440&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215440 <![CDATA[Mooncups (help/advice, and TMI) : ginger wrote:and how much moves...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215439&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215439 Author: Guests

Let me know if you find a way to fix it!!

Yeah I'm figuring it's probably the postioning or the seal, also possibly combined with how much...*ahem* moves down as you say when changing....hopefully some of the tips you found work out!! Otherwise you could always pop over to the eco section on TNN and post there too in case anyone has any other advice.]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:18:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215322&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215322 <![CDATA[Mooncups (help/advice, and TMI) : I think you might be right GandT...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215290&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215290 Author: ginger

I think you might be right GandT - I did some research online and found a few suggestions about ways to work on sealing it in there good and proper, so I'm giving those a go! I figure it must be something like that as I don't have any problems at all any other days, just this first one when it's all on!

I'll let you know how I go      or, at least, if I manage to sort myself out!]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:30:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215290&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215290 <![CDATA[Mooncups (help/advice, and TMI) : maybe the seal isnt quite as tight...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215283&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215283 Author: Bizzy

maybe the seal isnt quite as tight due the amount of fluid already there when you insert it?   i dont know really tho sorry. i dont have one yet, was going to but got pregnant, doh!

if you dont get any help from here i could ask on TNN for you - there are lots of seasoned mooncup users over there. ]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 14:10:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215283&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215283 <![CDATA[Mooncups (help/advice, and TMI) : I do.

Ever since my endo surgery, day 1 of my period is horrendous it honestly just pours out of me, and I need to empty my mooncup about every 2-3 hours (at 15ml when full, you do the math!). I don't mind that because it's still more pleasant than dealing with tampons. The thing is though that I also get quite a bit of leaking and it's not overflowing, because I empty it in good time. I wonder if it's simply the volume of blood I'm losing, and how much moves down my ... ahem ... while I change the mooncup, but I'm not sure. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has a similar problem with theirs? It's only on the first day that I have problems, the rest of my period is a doddle - I don't have any problems with leaking at all.

*Sigh* OK, that's all ... thanks for listening. Any advice is happily accepted ]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:14:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10819&PID=215188&title=mooncups-help-advice-and-tmi#215188
