Having skipped to the very end of this discussion today, I wondered what on earth anyone would want 6 mooncups for! :rotfl:

me too, lol!
i tried a diaphragm a few years ago, it hurt a lot and i just couldn't do it. i've got a funny cervix, it's tilted, maybe that's why.

this isn't really on topic but i just thought i'd ask - has anyone used a magnet on their knickers to reduce period pains? i've not heard of it before but the new avon catalogue (brochure number 12) has a 'ladycare' for £15. it's 2 magnets, they attach to your knickers and are supposed to increase blood circulation in the area and reduce pain. has anyone tried anything like it? £15 is a lot of money to spend on a gimmick that doesn't work.

Ooh, didn't realise that Boots sell them! Now this just might be the final incentive that makes me go and buy one, I've been thinking about it for ages! :T

Yeah, the magnet thingy is in our new catalogue as well. I can't imagine it working but who knows. Bit pricey to find out. Before seeing it in the book I had never heard of it. A lot of women who suffer greatly will try anything and I supppose this is how they make their profit. I tried the mooncup a few years ago and it just wasn't for me as well.

Does anyone know if the diva cup as seen on ebay, 5590347821, is as good/better/worse than the moon cup?
