Anybody use them ?  I love mine.  I have a few and its so much better then using tampons.  Takes a little practice to get used to but very comfortable good for mother earth.  Saves money to.



Funny story just for the ladies, kinda gross to .  Dont read if your eating.  LOL   I was in the ladies room at work and sometimes when you take it out they make a popping noise LOL  There was another lady in the next stall and she go's jesus what the hell was that.  I told her its my moon cup and explained it to her.  She was amazed and wanted to see it and I was like I have to clean rinse it off and put it back in.  I had another one in my purse in a case which I slide under to her stall so she could see what it looked like and she tried it on YUCK...............   I told her she could have it after that LOL   She loves the thing.

Yep...lol. I had the original Tasaway cup. That was way long ago. At that time it never took off and was discontinued. Since the Toxic Shock Syndrome scare concerning tampons that are too absorbent they've come to light again and become more popular and available. (They took Rely off the market because of it...that was the best damn tampon I ever used!) And as you said, Tish, it's much better for the environment rather than filling up landfills with pads and plugs.

Selva, granted, it can be a bit messy/tricky, in the beginning, till you figure it out (suction = pop! lol) ...but just like anything else...a little practice and you're good to go.

There are also natural sea sponges as an alternative to conventional tampons. With a little experience wearing them you can feel when you need to change them. I carry an extra so I can replace it immediately, then wash the used one out and pop it all clean into the little baggie so it's ready for the next round. If you properly care for them they last a long time. They're not for everybody but good for women who aren't skeeved by actually having to handle them. Really, is doing that any more gross than landfills piled with used tampons?

Scroll down and read, How to Use Sea Pearls and FAQ, for an explanation.

Natural sea sponges.........  That is so cool I have not seen these.  You know I am gonna try them  Don't worry I wont show anyone in the ladies room.  I learned my lesson LOL 

The recently changed something about tampons probably due to toxic shock.  I find when I am stuck and I have to use them they are not absorbing at all.  Its almost like the blood finds a way around them.  I am so happy I dont have to use them and there are better alternatives now. 

So, the Mooncups don't leak at all? And how do you know when its full?
