Love or Opportunity? Coffee Social

Yep, being comfy is a slight downside because all of a sudden after six hours I remember I'm bleeding lol.

I had never heard of these cups before. I'm going to go educate myself.

Moonie is preoccupied with Mr Moon. He landed on moon day (valentines day) and moonie is still around just a little busy!

I know... I saw all this chatter and now I'm looking into it too... I also have been considering "family cloth" since switching over to cloth diapers. I just hate spending and waisting so much paper products and with my kids I almost always end up getting out my peri bottle when they are explosive or giving them a bath! Not to mention I'm pretty much just sick of the fact that my kids will stick the lose end of a brand new roll of TP and hold it between their fingers and see how much the toilet will suck down in one flush!

Yeah they are working on not needing any diva cup for at least 9 months!

I saw the moon cups while I was reading today and they both look about the same but I'm going to try the diva because it's made in Canada...
I'm constantly surprising myself with just how Crunchy (Granola) I am!! I used to think it was so off the wall but the more I grow up and learn the more I want to be self sufficient and green!!!

haha... Yeah after having three kids there isn't much that grosses me out anymore!!! I think saving money was what really got me looking more into environmentally friendly stuff and the more I read the more freaked out I got about everything that is just in everything! The funny thing for me is that my husband either is ok with everything or hasn't really heard about it and once I tell him or show him he wants to go to the extreme! Don't even get me started on when I got him to watch Food Inc.!!!!
Goodnight Lunas!!

Ditto on the yay's! I love my cup. It was life changing for me since I hated the feel of disposable pads. My only boo-boo is that I get minor leaks sometimes. I tend to forget to empty on time and it overflows. Can't help it, it's so comfy and I forget it's in there! Luckily I bought and use cloth pads now. No more disposable liners too I have ones from Party in My Pants and Just Fussy. Both are great!

Hi guys! Now that we're talking about female bodily functions, I'm in! The cups sound interesting! I have always wanted to try them. Is it inconvenient to wash them out? Or you don't have to do that until the evening? I'm getting tired of the price of organic tampons ??? They're the only thing I will use. I hate, hate, hate pads. They smell and the thought of them makes me feel nauseous. And non-organic varieties get smelly. Hmm, a modern thinking Manila girl : I thought most of you ladies were pad fans ;D guess I thought wrong!

I'm trying to study for my first exam. With renos going on. Lol.

We should go back to planning vacations. That was more fun. My husband wants to go to Victoria this summer and see whales.

Come and visit us!

Welcome Steph! I love to see what it is that brings people into our fun group!!
I hope that the cup works good for me! I pretty much hate having to deal with that monthly pest so much that I would rather be pregnant all the time and that's saying a lot considering that I get deathly ill pregnant! Well ok... so maybe I don't wish I was always pregnant but I would be willing to consider being an "extended nurser" if it kept it away! The nursing keeps it away is a hit and miss thing for me! With my first son I only kinda nursed but he was like 8 months when it started again but after my second who I nursed a lot more it started at the 6 week mark and then was every two weeks :-X until I got preggers with baby 3!! After her I got all the way until she was 10 months old! Now I'm on the count down till we start for #4! Just have that pesky cross continent and boarder move to deal with first
