An Important Announcement

miss_s_bMy name is Jennie, and I use a mooncup. Like One Hot Crumpet, I am somewhat incredulous at the Clarkson-esque review that's been posted on amazon and linked around the internet. So, apparently, this lady had difficulty using a mooncup and decided to post a great long tl;dr full of hyperbole about how she couldn't get it in or out, and decided that because she couldn't do it anyone who said they could must be lying hippy earth mother types who want to make everyone else suffer.
Well, no.
Aside from the environmental and financial benefits, like OHC, I find it a lot less gross to have a mooncup than pads which stick to your pubes and stink or tampons which are uncomfortably drying and might give you toxic shock syndrome.
And, you know, the geek in me likes to examine consistency and volume of output. It's amazing the variation... Sorry, that was TMI, wasn't it?
Seriously though, why would anyone want to broadcast their incompetence with their own genitals so smugly?
Well, no.

Date: Sunday, January 8th, 2012 12:08 am (UTC)Then again, I don't see myself ever bothering with a mooncup. I'm nearly a couple of years over 40 and haven't ever used tampons so the chances of me cramming any man-made device - bpa free or no - up my girly canal that I wouldn't have a pretty good outside hand hold on is slim to none. At least science related people have found ways to make maxipads be less smelly and moisture-wicking than in the past.
So the universe will just have to deal with my use of terrible environment-slaughtering maxipads until the blood well runs dry which can't come soon enough for me.
