    Just gone back to re-order my Instead Cups and noticed that you can get preggy tests free with fertility lubes - don't know it that is of interest to anyone but thought I would post anyway :)

  • Another use for these instead cups, is if you are trying to conceive, put them in after sex to stop anything from running out!!

    I love my mooncup and I also use washable pads from a company called Moon Times. Last year, I got some close female friends a mooncup as a present and only one bothered to try it (why I wasted my money, I don't know :(). She's now also a huge fan and rang me a few days ago to let me know that a friend of hers had finally got pregnant using one and wanted to thank me for the inspiration! :rotfl:
  • I rekon the instead cups are good for people who have never tried mooncups before, especially since you can buy a pack of 5 for approx £5.

    I'm certainly going to try the instead cup as a precursor to buying a mooncup or other reusable cups.

    My friend raves on about her mooncup. I'm not so sure tho... It might be worth giving it a go I guess (plus I like the idea of it helping with conception ;) )

    I love my mooncup but think I might try one of the other brands as I do find it quite stiff. It's amazing though. No more period pain & I used to be doubled over. I tried a tampon a ferw months back after I came on & it was all a friend had, I was in agony & felt so dry with it. Never again.
    Hugs

    please be very aware when you log onto that other site feminine care that it is not secure....i just went on to order one after being convinced by this thread and went to checkout and someone else's address was still in there!

    I've just had a PM from another poster on this thread warning me that my details were on the site in the link I'd posted. The details they gave me weren't mine, and I went to double check and it was someone else again.

    I think we should let them know. :eek:
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    The site owner is now aware of the problems & is sorting the security out as fast as possible :)
    She wasn't aware of the issues but now she knows she can do something about it. So will soon all be ok and secure to use :)

    I've had a bit of a convo & she's sussed the problem & is onto it now. Thanks for logging me out again. Hopefully I won't be logged in anymore now then!
