I intend to get one once my period comes back this time around. I far prefer that to the idea of reusable pads. Not cos I think they are gross just cos I hate using pads of any sort.

I saw the winged tampon thing as well, very odd. ]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:12:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=537003&title=weird-but#537003 <![CDATA[Weird but... : They are pretty easy to put in.......]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536969&title=weird-but#536969 Author: Mum2L

OK so I got the diva cup and im sure most of you know how that ended. I have been looking at the moon cups and they have a longer plastic thingee to reach to pull out, so I have decided I might get one of those.

I'm a Mooncup girl.... at least I don't have to buy a new one when I have my baby, as I am having an elective c-section!

I've had my Mooncup for over 3 years now, and I have worked out I have saved myself over $700 in sanitary products (before I had to buy a packet of regular tampons, a packet of super tampons, a packet of pads for overnight use, and a packet of pantyliners all on a monthly basis).

I've never had any leaks with it, so have never had to buy reusable pads. I also make sure I have a bottle of water in my bag at all times when I use my Mooncup.

I had to order mine from the UK when I got it, but many health shops and organic supermarkets stock Mooncups.

So much better for the environment, and also a good indicator of how much flow you have as well.

The only bad thing I have heard about the Diva cup is that it can form a very high suction, so can be a bit harder to remove, if you are in a hurry!]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:37:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536542&title=weird-but#536542 <![CDATA[Weird but... : Well no one has got toxic shock...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536536&title=weird-but#536536 Author: Paws

yeah i've seen them too not sure on how hygenic they are but i guess when you think about it they are worse than tampons or pads.

I have seen the add for those winged tampons too i see you can get a free sample might be worth a look. Gotta love anything thats free. Interestingly does anyone else loathe the applicator tampon i used them once never again i just don't like them.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:31:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536532&title=weird-but#536532 <![CDATA[Weird but... : Yeah, tampons with wings - I just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536498&title=weird-but#536498 Author: BugTeeny

Yeah, tampons with wings - I just don't understand.
Not ONCE have I thought to myself "hrmm...I wish my tampons had wings..."
The wings would just get squashed flat when they get shoved in, right?

Anyway. I've heard good things about the Diva/Moon cups.
I'm just no good with blood, so the less I have to deal with it, the better ]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:04:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536498&title=weird-but#536498 <![CDATA[Weird but... : Yep Ive seen those before, but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536488&title=weird-but#536488 Author: Shezamumof3

Tampons with wings. I'm still giggling!

And public bathroom, I just use the disabled stall and rinse it in there. or take a bottle of water in with you and rinse it with that.

I normally empty once or twice a day. Depends on heavy you bleed but most women who switch to cloth pads and/or mooncup find their periods become lighter and easier. Was true for me. ]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:20:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22230&PID=536451&title=weird-but#536451 <![CDATA[Weird but... : Tampons with wings???
