I spend a lot of time and energy damning the disposable nappy and giving people every conceivable reason to be using terrycloth … and here I am totally oblivious (well, not so oblivious anymore, I suppose) to the harmful effects to my own body, not to mention the damaging effects on the environment caused by a similarly harmful product: the sanitary towel.
I need feedback please. Anyone used a Mooncup or Miacup? This is the little plastic goblet that replaces the need to use tampons and Sanitary towels. It looks easy enough to use … but I don’t actually know anyone who has every tried one out and would love to hear a few ‘reviews’ before I rush out and buy one.
For those who have never heard of these things, look at the following pages:

The Miacup is really really comfy!! They have EXCELLENT customer service and really seem to care about the environment. By the way it’s made of medical grade silicon which is completely different from the stuff in breast implants. It’s safe plus there’s never been a documented case of TSS resulting from use of a cup! If you get a cup that fits you properly you will not regret it!! I can personally vouch for the Miacup, but there are many many other brands that can work for you. There is a learning curve so you have to be patient in order to get right. Look at menstrual cup blogs; if you just Google it you should find good ones out there. Also look for the livejournal one! It really good and all of your questions will prolly be answered!
