She's ok at the moment as it's not too much, no cramps yet and I hope it stays that way. It was brown at 1st and she thought she'd had an accident bless her. Trouble is at school, the toilets they use are actually in the classroom, as in no hallway in between, so you can hardly grab a sanitary towel in privacy and sneak in, the only others are in the KS1 building, they aren't ideal too. When it comes to PE and stuff they change in the corridoor.:(

:eek: I don't think I've ever been in a primary school where the toilets weren't off the cloakrooms. Could they be stashed on top of the cistern so that they're in there already? Hope she stays pain free - mine were horrendous until after I had Alice.

At least she's not as bad as Josh. He used to hang on my leg and dramatically wail "please don't leave me here with these people" :rotfl:

Sounds comical but I bet it didn't feel it at the time.

She claimed she was playing Farkle on the nursery computer today and she checked her Facebook while she was there. I see she is developing good imagination skills

Alice doesn't have Facebook but apparently she has a website. And often when we're out she'll suddenly exclaim, "Oh no: I didn't check my e-mail!"

But on the positive side, she is excellent at wiping her own bum

:rotfl: Glad to hear it.

I wonder if there is a little belt puch thingy that she can wear and keep a few thin towels inside it? A word with the school to make sure nobody asks her to take it off first.

A money beltr maybe?

That can be worn under her top.

I know there's a few Mooncup ladies on here...have any of you used it pre-preg and then moved to the larger size post-birth? I've done this and on my 3rd or 4th cycle now and still have leakage/fit issues. I cannot figure out what is going wrong except that my cervix feels super mega-low compared to what I remember before and that must be messing up the fit? I'm totally at a loss because I love my Mooncup but cannot keep using it if it's going to not do the job!! Wonder if another brand might fit differently?

Sorry Bruno & any other men lurking! :rotfl:

I've only ever used the post birth one because I knew we were going to TTC and I had a huge stash of disposable products so was unlikely to get much use out of a pre-birth one. Have you tried positioning it lower - I find if I put mine too high then it leaks.

Maybe a money belt under her clothes?

Tia did you edit your post? Because either I'm going mad or it didn't say about money belts when I quoted you.

LOL! I must have been editing as you said that! :T

ETA, a money spinner here, there are no pretty girly money belts!

Wonder if I can make one and flog it on eBay? :rotfl:

Sorry if this will sound crude I don't mean it too - but maybe since having a baby your inner bits are wider so it's not as snug so causing a leak?

I spend a fortune on tampons cause when I pee my pelvic muscles push the tampon out, it's highly annoying.

I clearly didnt read your question properly - maybe you dont need a bigger sized mooncup and should use your smaller sized one again ?

A choice of colours, but it depends what size her waist is?
