everyone is entitled to an opinion. admittedly some people need to think about how theyre wording things, but you can try and stop peoples opinions.
in no way do i feel like people shouldn't have opinions. but like, people need to be a bit more careful the way they say things and the way they might offend people. like they wouldn't like it if someone came up to them, pointed out something they do and then said 'that's completely disgusting and gross'. just think that's unnecessary.
i undertand what you are saying about the environment, but i just couldnt do it myself the thought of it makes me feel slighty ill! but anyone that can and does do it! go you!
heard a lot of horror storied about moon cups and the like, not my cup of tea (ahaha see what i did there! cup!)
Show me the skyline and I'll show you decadence,
a subtle reminder of hearts filled with loneliness,
give me your worst words and I'll bring the sticks and stones,
I'd hate to use them,
you can't shake it with broken bones...
No no no moon cups + tea don't mix! D:
I have a mate who swears by her diva cup and actually talks about it to the point that you never want to hear of one again. If you could buy these things in normal shops, they might be more popular :\ xx
OMG i never realised that about my screen name. haha, its kinda hilarious. maybe its fate! :)

Have to agree with whoever said people need to tone it down a little in regards to there differing of opinions. I mean, some of the comments on here just made me "groan" and realise why i should never take part in discussions like this because people are too immature to actually take part in these discussions. I agree with Stace (Raven) - some of the arsey comments just aren't necessary.
I think this is a really good thread, and it's definatly made me think more about the future and if i would branch out to try new things. I don't think it hurts to ever be a little informed about things like this, especially as it's a natural womanly occurance and a massive percentage of RYL is made up of woman.
Oh gross. I gag at the thought. And you really need to put a warning of some sort in the title saying that this is potentially really gross. Cause... it is. I dont' care if they're bad for the environment... I realy and truly don't. The thought of washing my own stuff? UGH! My stomach is churning right now.
ME TOO. I mean it's gross enough to have periods in the first place...I'm pretty sure I don't want to be doing anymore with the bloodyness than wrapping it up and throwing it away! I refuse to wash pads or stick cups in me! Just my opinion.
I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
Personally, I hate pads, but I'm not about to start getting arsey at the people who choose to use them.
Whats the difference between the blood sitting in a cup, and the blood flowing out to sit in your knickers? personally, I would prefer it was all kept inside.
i dont use a mooncup at the moment, I use tampons, but as soon as I have money I will be buying one, and I would like to thank flower fairy for opeingin our eyes to some of the alternatives available
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind.
To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse.
To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better.

You can actually buy the mooncup in bigger boots stores.
Lucky you Jo! However with regards to them not damaging the environment that isn't strictly true, because women who take contraceptives release oestrogen into the water system when they urinate, which can make marine wildlife less fertile and thus populations to decrease. (Not that I'm saying don't take them, after all the worst thing someone can do to the environment is have a child! And I strongly believe women have the right to use contraception)
I've got the implant and yes my periods are generally light than they were, but they are so unpredictable and sometimes I get the odd terrible one. 2 more years then perhaps I'll consider something else.
I keep meaning to get a mooncup but never quite get round to it.
so what happens if your out and your "cup" is full , you use public toilets what do you do.
do you go out wash it in front of people , or do you put the dirty one back in your bag ?
but i think personally in my opinion something that can be thrown away is much more hygenic ?
(sorry if this has been brought up already)
