Do you know what a menstrual cup is?

Hi, I was just wondering who all is clued up on the menstrual cup (popular brands are the DivaCup in the US and the MoonCup in the UK).
The menstrual cup is a silicone (though some brands are of latex) cup which is place into the vagina during the menses, similar to the way a tampon would be used. They are much safer for a woman’s body as they’ve never been linked to TSS, they are safer for the environment (you use them for 10 years or more!), they’re easy on your pocket ( or 20GBP seems a lot at one go, but you’d use more than that in 6 months of feminine product purchases!!) and they are so comfortable!! I have had my mooncup for a year now and would never dream of using anything else.

So I guess I’m wanting to know who else uses one or who would be interested in buying one to use? They really are a fab product!! I couldn’t live without mine!

Umm, No, Mick…I don’t think that is their purpose. They are used in place of a pad or tampon to catch the flow of a womans period..I don’t think i’d want to catch semen in mine…
I agree, prilshowers’s…I wish I’d know about the cup when I began menstruation…but like you, it was about 12 years later…they’ve been around since before the tampon but didn’t catch on because you have to be too intimate with the workings of your body…It’s a shame, really…they’re a fab product!! more women should use them!
Willa, no it isn’t any more gross than pulling the string of your tampon, honey!! lol It takes a bit of getting used to (and perhaps a bit of mess while you are!!) but once you’ve got it mastered, they are wonderful!!

They do help with cramping…it is the gentle suction from the cup that helps to releave the body of some of the cramping as it helps to pull the lining out apparently. They are well worth the money!!
Fun Lovin Girl, the Instead goes up much higher into the vagina than the moon/divacup does…These sit much lower in the canal, so might work better for you. And I think i’m correct in saying that she soft up has a more firm rim, right? Well, since these are made entirely of medical grade silicone, they are very flexible and fit well just inside along the soft walls of the vagina. I had seen the instead, but once I saw the mooncup, I decided they were designed so much better so went for it!! I think you should go for it! I bet you’ll love it! ;)

boy, I really do sound like a salesperson, don’t i? Well, I have convinced a few dozen women on a forum I use to get one and they all love their cup!!

What's the deal with honey and cinnamon for weight loss?

I’ve heard using 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, plus 1 teaspoon of honey mixed in 1 cup of boiling water will help with weight loss? Is this true or another one of those crazy gimmicks?

Benefits of green tea in weight loss- what if you add honey?

I’ve read in numerous publications that green tea aids in burning fat for weight loss- are these benefits at all negated if you add a serving (1 TBSP) of honey to your drink?

Am I a crazy insane guy?

I live in the American Garden Buildings on West Eighty-First Street, on the eleventh floor. My name is Jed Smith. I am twenty-six years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the icepack, I use a deep pore-cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

I always use an after-shave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing "protective" lotion.

There is an idea of a Jed Smith, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

How do I treat my bloated looking belly?

I’m 5"2, 15 year old female teenager and I’m about 110lbs, so I naturally have a average kind of figure. But my tummy is really annoying me! =[
It sticks out so much and it looks as if I’m in the early stages of pregnancy or something! ( I’m definitely not pregnant by the way! )
I even have to undo my belt or button or zip on my clothes sometimes because my tummy is so big! It’s not fat like it doesn’t have creases in it or anything or rolls of fat, it’s just one big ball!
I’ve had it ever since I was little and it annoys me so much, whenever I’m around anyone I have to breath in so that they only see how my tummy should look, and then as soon as I get home I breath out and my tummy comes out xD
I really really would love to have it sorted out within about 2 months because I’m going on holiday with my friend to Cornwall and we’re going swimming!
Actually I would rather it if it was sorted during May because we’re going to practice swimming beforehand as well!
Help please and thank you ^^
Oh if it makes a difference, I rarely exercise >.<
Oh and I am a vegan so I don’t eat any meat, dairy, eggs or honey.
But I do munch on quite a bit of food.
But not enough to make me fat! I just eat out of boredom I guess.
I eat pretty quickly aswell.
I don’t think I’m constipated or anything.
I drink quite alot of fizzy drinks.
Oh and I eat quite alot of wheat products.
I’m not in any pain whatsoever, it’s just more uncomfortable like I always feel as if I’m full and as if I’m breathing out the most I can even though I’m not!

I don’t know if any of that makes a difference I’ve just read on sites before about those kinds of thingsss.
Actually I don’t drink that many fizzy drinks but I do sometimes like maybe 3 cans a week.
