Mooncups

Does anyone use a mooncup?

I'm thinking of getting one but am not sure, don't want to waste almost £20 and be unable to use it.

    I can't use mine, I had a bad experience or 2 when I couldn't get it out and panicked.

    I feel like a bad, un-green person but I've had to stick to tampons. I might give it another shot when I'm not so nervous.

    i've got one, and use it and i think it's great! i find it far more comfortable than tampons, does help if you carry wet wipes around, but i wouldn't go back to tampons...

    helps if you have strong pelvic floor muscles...

    I bought one in my lunchbreak so will try it out tonight.

    I remember really struggling with tampons at first, hope it's not as difficult as that was.

    It took me a year to learn to use mine!! Its worth it thought so keep at it if you can't get the hang of it straight away. I still use tampons sometimes, and mine sometimes leaks in the night and I don't know why :(

    I can't get it in, am I doing something wrong?

    What are you doing?

    You know you've got to kind of fold it?

    Yes, I did, but I couldn't get it in, and also, as I tried to get it in, it kept unfolding.

    Apparently there's a certain knack to keeping it folded for long enough. I don't own one but a couple of mates do so I'm not that much of an expert.

    I take it you've tried their website for tips.

    I found that rinsing it in water then putting it in helped. It took me a while to get the hang of it.
