I don't care how mind-blowingly innovative it is.
I don't care to know the astonishing details of how it works.
I don't care if this is set to be the recycling product of the century that will, ultimately and single-handedly, save our planet.
Because when I get a press release via an email whose subject title reads: "Re-usable sanitary pads from Bebeco", I ain't opening it.
Ewwww...
normalguy
Well back in the old days (and yes it WAS way before I was born) they always used to be re-usable. And before that they were made of moss.
If history teaches us anything its that consumerism rocks!
rowtheboat
Pro Moss???
Mrs_F
Sphagnum moss to be precise.
But that was the bad ole days.
I am with Rowe I am not opening them either.

Pro Moss siiiide!
Careful, I'm a Mooncup gal. Reusable sanitary pads (I hate that phrase) is a bit too squeamish for me though.
rowtheboat
Pro Someone once told me that Mooncups were for lezzers. I never could work out why. Can you shed any light?
Personally, I couldn't get my head around having to walk out of a public toilet cubicle, wash a bloody rubber thing in front of a queue of women (because there's //always// a queue) and then pop it back in.
soyunperdedor
Pro Oh bugger rinsing it, use bog roll. Anyway the plus side of them is that you can leave it there for that bit longer so it's rare you'd need to, er, deposit remains in a public loo.
Lezzers favour them, true. There's zero mess. None at all. Follow the train of thought.
I have jsut bought a new one actually. Yes, I lost the old one. No, I don't know where. Beware, I have promotional stickers. One may find its way to your FACE.
rowtheboat
Pro As long as it covers my spot.
Sure it's not still up there?
soyunperdedor
Pro Squeeze.
Squeeeeeeze.
Positive.
rowtheboat
Pro For a moment there I thought you were trying to force it out.
If you ask Nick nicely, he might check for you. And if you ask him naughtily, I'm sure he will.
soyunperdedor
Pro Would I verbalise my squeezings in public? Nooo.
I wouldn't put him through that either.
Going to buy train snacks and new jeans. Joy.
rowtheboat
Pro Sounds good to me.
Train snacks, yum. Plenty of chocolate and maybe some fizzy cola bottles.

I had never heard of a moon cup. Now I've googled it and merely //wish// I had never heard of a moon cup.
rowtheboat
Pro My last flatmate had one. I saw it sat on my bathroom window ledge once when I was cleaning.
I cleaned //round// it.
bloglikesit
If I hadn't just googled it and happened to come across one, I would have thought it was a teat from a baby's bottle.
rowtheboat
Pro BOL!
"Brad, what //are// you doing?"
"Just feeding the baby."
bloglikesit
"There's not much coming out though. And the milk smells funny, I think it might be off."
rowtheboat
Pro I may have to re-name this post: When Brad goes one step too far... 
bloglikesit
Heeey it was inspired by //your// conversation with Soy!
rowtheboat
Pro I know. Note to self: when it comes to feminine 'things', I cannot out-gross a lesbian.
bloglikesit
If you want to //frighten// her, take a shoe-horn to the blog meet.
Juzzzy
Pro I am beyond appalled.
But just to clarify: Mooncups are banned in Liverpool.
bloglikesit
It is my considered opinion that they should be allowed, they should just //never// be mentioned. Ever.
bloglikesit
Did you not know about them, either?
Juzzzy
Pro Never.
And I wish I never had, either!
rowtheboat
Pro Ask Soy nicely and she might serve you a tot of rum in hers.
soyunperdedor
Pro BOL! I've only just found since conversation, I'm now snorting at work, bravo.
rowtheboat
Pro I //knew// there was something that should have been done at the blog meet... aside from eat, and not make a twat out of oneself
soyunperdedor
Pro *clutches sides*
bloglikesit
Eugh! That's all I have to say.
faffajane
Pro Thought that was done before disposable pads were invented!
Certainly not doing that Eugh!!!!1

funny you should mention mooncups the police were called to a hospital where a deceased woman had been brought in....the doctor had examined her and was shocked by what he found...he explained that in his view the death was suspicious as he thought she had been sexually assaulted with an object that had been left in the womans vagina...yep you guessed he showed us a Mooncup...good jod the female cop knew what it was...doctor was a bit embaresed ...shame all the nurses got to find out!!!
rowtheboat
Pro Ha!
eggbod
Lawks Row!
I must have come from the a parallel universe again.
I have never heard of moon cups until I read this.
10/10 for the educational experience.
(shakes head in wonderment - straw drops out)
No... Just... Nooooo!
Pompadour
Oh, god, yeuk.
I remember having Fibroids and Very Heavy Periods.
eggbod
Sanitary towels?
Honestly are they still going?
Blimey.......I thought they'd died a death and gone to sanitary towel sanitarium!
safriz
i never ever use em
About as appealing as a re-usable nappy. I'd rather stand in the shower for 5 days straight.
Chyna_Doll
*Barfs*
Nor me!
Sienna
How would that even work!?
Now the Lotus Cup (or whatever it's called), a re-usable rubber tampon-thingy, I could get used to and it's more hygienic, but PADS!? Urgh!!
chassy
Yeoh! I've just been reading about it, sounds interesting, but painting, and plant-food? Yeoh!
lolol
