Ladies!~Heard of gynotex??Opinions!!

[Bendybops19]

Hi,

I have read all about the mooncup and although still a bit dubious, thought it to be a very good invention!! :T

Thought i'd look it up but then came across this..

http://www.gynotex.com

I have to say...it looks awful and very messy! Would you really want to be messing around with that in a public place?! :eek:

(On the note of that..with the mooncup, obviously the sinks are not always by the toilet, so what do u do when u need to clean it? Dont people stare?!)

Just thought i would ask other peoples opinions on the gynotex!!

6 for £12.99 (http://www.14-condoms.co.uk/feminine-health/gynotex-wet-tampons.html?tp=CONTINUE+SHOPPING) P&P is charged at 79p on this

Seem very expensive to me. One advantage appears to be that you can have intercourse while wearing one. Though retrieving it later may be even messier.

Edit: Details from another more expensive website (http://www.blissbox.com/store/detail.asp?productid=1733) say this.
"Gynotex soft tampons have been designed for people who wish to have intercourse during their period." which perhaps explains the price.

Extremely pricey! I'm not interested in actually buying them, i'm just not sure if it is a bit of a con!

Extremely pricey! I'm not interested in actually buying them, i'm just not sure if it is a bit of a con!Well we were given a sample of this or something similar at work by a reputable condom manufacturer so I wouldn't think it was a con - just not something I'd fancy using myself! As Ted so accurately puts it ...

[katiepops]

I'm sorry, but that is just too gross for words ...

Does anyone else think it's funny that the lady *enjoying her period with Gynotex* is wearing all white and lying in a white bed? Would you, honestly?

I don't like the description of how you insert and remove the thing either .... :eek: I'm sure that's all fine and dandy if you're slim, fit and trim, but with any sort of a belly on you you'd surely need arms like an orangutan to be able to do it.

Ooh, I feel sick now.

I looked in the FAQ, all it says is

FAQ's text...

Not very help full.

At least tampons have a cord to pull them out with, what happens if you have fake nails :eek: I dont know about anyone else but "doing it" is as far from my mind as possible during my period (yes even Johnny doesn't go there), where by chocolate is right next to the light switch.
I bet a man invented these

[Bendybops19]

EUGH! I know!! I cant even contemplate going anywhere near that close to that area during that time of the month! Esp not my bf!!!! Thats the last thing i want to do :rolleyes:

Haha imagine squatting in a public loo....!!! :eek:

Not so sure they will be a big hit :rolleyes:

Haha u really would need stretchy arms wouldnt u!

I dont understand how they dont sort of get 'lost' !

[katiepops]

Given that they look rather like those big squashy marshmallows you buy in packets where half of them are white and half are pink, wouldn't it just be cheaper to use the marshmallows instead?? :eek:

If you worked it out right you might even end up with half a packet left after your period has finished that you can stuff your face with.

Kate

Yes, I know, that's really gross ... sorry ...

Hahahaha!! Some people may be tempted to eat it after theyv used it and given it a quick wash... OK OK toooooo far! I'm gonna leave...

"Do not use after expiry date and existing hymen." what on EARTH does that mean????

"Do not use after expiry date and existing hymen." what on EARTH does that mean????

EllieI suppose they don't want virgins past their sell by date using them but as their primary purpose is to enable sexual intercourse during menses the question of the existing hymen would soon be resolved.
But when it comes to their puzzling instructions I like this one.

Don't use Gynotex soft-tampons during pregnancy without consulting your doctor. (fig. 6)

(fig 6) is a picture of a lady in a while coat holding a clipboard just in case there are any of their users who don't know how to recognise a doctor.

As one of the first signs of pregnancy is missing periods why on earth would anyone want to use them then?

thanks for the laugh Ted
nearly choked on my marshmallow :p

[Savvy_Sue]

thanks for the laugh Ted
nearly choked on my marshmallow :pI think we are ALL choking on our marshmallows Ted!

Crikey there aren't many chaps would venture into this area, but I am enjoying what Ted has to say here!

Yeah, its nice to have a chaps point of view on ladies things!! He is a brave man :p

[Gingham Ribbon]

What a scream! Ted, I nearly woke my son up I laughed so loud then! What a tonic.

'Intimate body cavities' :rotfl:

And should I e mail them to tell them they spelt 'lose' wrong? Loose has entirely different connotations! :rotfl:

Having used a diaphragm for years with no problem, I can safely say that I would not like to attempt to get that thing back from there!

Hi Guys and former contributers to this thread.

i need to give you all a Huge thanks, for you saved me from near disaster some weeks ago.

I recently began seeing a guy who lives over 200 miles away, every weekend in three is precious, so when my period arrived five days late, (Wednesday before our planned weekend), I panicked and felt very fed up, thinking what a waste of expense etc and how awful the weekend would be.

Fortunately, I stumbled over this thread, and thought it would be a good 'plan b', so decided to take the plunge (so to speak) and ordered some Gynotex.

They were expensive for what they are - just round discs of sponge, which can be bought wet and ready for use, or dry and need to be dampened before use.

I nervously explained the situation to BF, and set about preparing myself. :rolleyes: I was nervous (and I think he was a bit too), but I am pleased to report that every thing was absolutely fine.... and I do mean fine!

The weekend was fab, and there were no embarrasing things to deal with.

Removal wasn's as easy as it was suggested, it did take a couple of attempts, and I certainly wouldnt use these as a tampon for the modern busy woman on a daily basis, but for you ladies out there who find themselves in a similar situation, be brave and try it for yourselves. I thought it was well worth it.

Hope this helps somebody out there.

Cheers

[Jay-Jay]

ohhhhh.... so THAT's what they're for :think:


I remember this thread and wondered at the time who would spend that amount of money on such a strange item but when you put it like that then I can understand :doh:


I once saw a programme about *whispers* prostitutes :eek: who used a small peice of normal sponge for the same reason. :money:
