HI I HAVE A MOONCUP QUESTION. Can you use it when you have less heavy flow? I don't get super heavy ones, maybe 2 days it is, and the rest is really light. Is it safe to wear regardless of how heavy you are? I just wonder this because tampons basically say not to use when you're super light and there's not enough to absorb. But maybe this is because of the whole absorption situation. If I can wear it from start to finish, I might be sold. Or at least try it. Haha. Yes it is due to the absorption situation! Since cups collect instead of absorbing, they can collect as much or as little as your body can put into it. Tampons say that because it messes up your body if they absorb too much of your (ahem) other fluids instead of blood.

Lol, I love how I went from OH THEY'RE SO WEIRD WHAT DO YOU DO to actually really liking the idea. I remember me and my mum discussing them ages ago, I'll have to tell her how I get on.

even i want a mooncup now ;D And yeah, I agree with Jade. Last time there was a mooncup discussion on here (around the time of Patrick the Period, possibly? Let's not revisit that again ) I thought they were just weird. Now I'm going to have to try.

I was wondering when Patrick the Period was going to come up again. Alas, it has occurred. What a spectacular moment in Wolfboard history... Jade, I personally highly recommend doing a board search for that. Even though most other people wouldn't.
Anyway, I originally came here to say that mooncups now sound quite appealing!

i still think they're weird. but then i don't like tampons or pads either, periods are annoying and messy and inconvenient.

I searched but nothing came up. I'm guessing I'd have to scan the place... WHICH SECTION. Or maybe it was deleted? I'm scared and intrigued at the same time. Haha.

Oh noooo! I hope that was never deleted! Now that everything's changed I dunno what section that would be in...

Is there a particular thread to look for?

The thread it originated in was actually called Mooncups, wasn't it?! Haha!

it was called "saving the environment- taking the piss?" or something very similar and was started by youwantthis.

LOL I joined just after the patrick the period thing. I wasn't freaked out, which is very odd.
They are sounding more appealing now, but i'm still pretty scared; I can't even use tampons without freaking out yet!

i feel left out reading all this. i've not had a period for nearly 3 years now. my doctor seems to think that's fine, however, so i shouldn't worry. i still do. i took my cousin out to the pub with me on friday night and i guess her period must've started because she asked me for a tampon... i had to say no.. i've never felt so unfeminine in all my life.
