Alright, found the FAQ on the Mooncup site and this is what it says -

Dear Su
I've been using my Mooncup for the first time these past few days and it
seems to be working really well. Everything everyone says about it on your
site is true. I particularly like the idea that I can forget about it and
just need to empty it once on waking and once before sleep. However I'm still a little concerned about the risk of toxic shock syndrome from leaving it in for a long time.
My cup only gets about half full in half a day, so is it okay to leave it in for those 8 hours without changing it?

Thanks
Lucy

Dear Lucy
Thank you for your email. I am glad that you are getting along with your Mooncup! You are right to be concerned about toxic shock syndrome, and with the Mooncup it is important to regularly remove and clean it as by doing so you prevent any build-up of the bacteria that cause this illness. We recommend that you remove and clean your Mooncup 4 times during a 24-hour day and that you boil it for 5 minutes between periods. TSS has been linked to high absorbency and prolonged use of tampons. The Mooncup differs from tampons in that the material that it is made of does not support the growth of bacteria in the way that the rayons and cottons used in tampons do. Menstrual cups have been around since the 1930s but have not been associated with toxic shock syndrome. TSS is most common in women aged between the ages of 15 and 19 and the risk of contracting it decreases with age. As a precaution, you should be aware that the symptoms of TSS could include sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, fainting, or a rash rather like sunburn. Should you experience these symptoms during your period you should remove your Mooncup and contact your GP immediately. I hope that this information is useful for you.

Best Wishes
Su

I guess the difference is all the things that could be inside the tampon that your body could absorb or whatever... I don't think it is the same when you are using medical grade silicon.

Boil it before each use. And I guess if you are ultra clean you could boil it again each time you empty it, though I just rinse it under hot water.

(Oh and wash hands before and after use etc)

Oh yeah, and the little book thingy says to wash it with soapy water.

BS - I liner is a good idea while you are getting the hang of inserting the mooncup, it does take a little practise and leaks can occur if you don't have it in right.

I used a liner for my first couple of cycles and now I don't bother.

Haleighsmum - a mooncup is a cup used instead of a tampon, it's inserted much like one but sits lower and collets the blood. You only need to empty in and reinsert.

Not only do you save a fortune money wise but they also have no associated TSS risks. Women also report shorter, lighter, less painful periods using mooncups and cloth pads.

You have to wonder sometimes about the male mind.

Sarah is really friendly Paws! And to be honest, I was quite surprised about how quickly my mooncup arrived (payment made Monday, she would have received it Tuesday, mooncup arrived today!), and I really wasn't expecting it by courier post.

It's a bit self-centered too Lulu - with endometriosis and all the problems it's caused me (incl the surgery being a bust) I thought that being a bit more 'natural' about things and keep the chemicals and cotton fibres etc out of the equation may just help things. It may not too, of course but I can only hope! I suppose it's a bit like IVF - its possibly a solution for us, to our infertility, so I'm willing to go above and beyond what I thought I might to possibly have that solution.

Oh, and P.S. As the mooncup comes under the 'shopping' umbrella, I can't help myself being excited! ]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:02:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182385&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182385 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182382&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182382 Author: james

I admire you using a mooncup Ginger, I can't imagine being excited about it's arrival, lol! All the greenies will hate me, but I just can't get that 'mother earth'... I do recycle plastic, glass and cardboard though!]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 13:20:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182351&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182351 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182333&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182333 Author: caraMel

Hope you're feeling better quickly Ginger!
Hooray for parcels when you're feeling cruddy though!]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:57:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182333&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182333 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182330&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182330 Author: ginger

(Ha ha ha! Two Blondinis!! )

I just had an email back from GreenBeans and it seems ...



I should never have gotten out of bed this morning, or attempted to function while I have the lurg. 'Coming Sep' doesn't mean coming September, it means, coming separately ... as in, the liner will come direct from Outrageous. Doh. What a complete egg. I think I even read on the website that they do that, and it went awol in my faulty memory.

Yay for the liner coming though! Even if it is robots!!



I am such a dork.]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:53:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182330&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182330 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182300&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182300 Author: Two Blondinis

Enjoy your mooncup and they should be able to swap the liners for something more "Ginger-style" Do they do ladle print? ]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:52:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182300&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182300 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182294&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182294 Author: ginger

I got my mooncup today!! Which cheered me up while I was dying on the couch (I love my puppies - they know Mum is sick, and didn't even bark when the courier came up the steps) - yay for GreenBeans!

It's different to what I expected - more solid ... though that's a good thing! I almost can't wait until I get to use it

I was a little wee bit bummed though - I really wanted to try their liners, but they have no stock, except for the robot design liners But, impatience won out over waiting for the new stock to arrive (new stock comes in every month according to the website), so I ordered one anyway Bummer though - my mooncup arrived, and there was a note on my invoice that the robot liners are coming in September. September! Bollocks!

I thought that was just a wee bit on the nose - although they have been great to deal with so far, so I actually feel bad whinging about it.

I did email and ask that when they get their new stock, could they substitute the robots for something else. Whether they will or not, I have no idea, but it was worth the ask I thought ... especially since I am the most un-roboty person on earth!

That'll learn me for not being patient! I have to be doubly patient now as penance ]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:47:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9256&PID=182294&title=little-bit-grrr-at-greenbeans#182294
