Fairy Hammock! WTF

Stiina · Jul 14th, 2009, 12:32 PM

I have the divacup - same thing, just made in Canada!

LOVE IT! Buttttttt, I bought size 1 (never given birth) and had it for about 4 months...and NOW I'm pregnant so after the baby comes I'll have to buy the second size!!!

Bad timing for me!

But It is wonderful! I forwarded an email to all of my girl friends when there was a sale on and gave them a totally annoying testimonial.

I want everyone in the world to know about these!!!

I bought a mooncup a year ago and while I still use tampons as well, I love my mooncup.
I just sometimes 'forget' that I have it...

I tried washable pads but don't think the ones I bought were good as they were just used as a 'back up' for the mooncup(in case of leaks) and they weren't absorbant at all

I know people who swear by their mooncups, they get lighter flow and less cramping and once you get used to them its not messy at all...and certainly a lot better than flushing/throwing tampons away!!

I've used a mooncup too, I used it for quite a while - then went on depo and didn't need it and it and then I didn't go back to it (probably couldn't find it!!!). They're definitely worth trying - mooncup used to have a try it for three months and if you don't like it they'll send a refund, don't know if they still do though?

OK, three questions:

1. How can the Mooncup actually reduce flow? I really don't understand that bit. (And I am a science person with a biomedical degree.)

2. I find that tampons actually hurt me. Well, "hurt" is probably an exaggeration, but certainly I can feel the thing in there and it can become quite uncomfortable. Sooo... anybody out there have this with tampons but then went on to successfully use Mooncups, without any pain or discomfort?

3. If you use the Fairy Hammocks, do you soak them in a nappy bucket or something before washing in the machine? I love the idea from an environmental point of view, but I just find the idea of them hanging around waiting to be washed a bit uggh. More info, please!

Thanks, girls xx

I am seriously considering getting a mooncup, but what if I am out and need to empty it? How can I wash it before I put it back if I am in a public toilet? would wiping it with a wet wipe work?
This is the only thing that is preventing me from getting one at the moment.

either use the disabled toilet as most of them have a sink in or take a spare bottle of water just for rinsing out your cup.
you will probs find that you can keep it in for longer than than it says so might beable to go shopping and empty when you get home
