Oh my god! When we were at the erotica exhibtion me and my boyfriend got interviewed by the people who make this. They were asking us loads of questions about the goth scene then they asked us 'do you enjoy sex during menstration?' and, even worse; 'do you like to rub your menstration blood all over eachither'?'

we were completely grossed out and mumbled that I don't get periods cause of my birth control.

So just for your information the people who work for this company are sick no namers! Shocked

but the instead soft cup seems to have a greater capacity and as such i'd be concerned about infection.

Aw sorry Confused Least the ones there are really big you can fit lots in 1 wash. Ive just bought a new one but it wont be delivered till after christmas. Bit annoying but the old one still works, it just keeps leaking at the back so I keep a towel down there, and you cant fill it very much or it starts going crazy!! I got it second hand for free so its done well. Glad I can afford getting a new one this time. I hope you can get it fixed instead of having to buy a new one.

rene, the girls are just suprised by the soft cups, it's nothing personal to slight you at all.
I quoted from a recent post to show you about the other types of menstrual cups. They have a smaller capacity and therefore are less likely to lead to infection.

No-one meant you to be hurt or offended it. Just soft cups aren't everyone's idea of "great" is all. Wink

I'm trying to picture how it would work.....How would it stay up there in the right spot? Also when taking it out isn't there a chance that everything will spill out. (gross)

nah, I don't like that idea, I would pass on that.

It's springy so you squash it - pop it in and it springs out - your natural muscles hold it in just like they hold a tampon.

The difference betweent he soft cups and the mooncup is that you can have intercourse when using softcups.
Soft cup also do not have a "stem" which the mooncup (divacup/keeper) does.
The stem allows you to pull the cup out (sometimes you get a little suction and you need to break that to allow removal).
Because of the stem you are less likely to get spillage.

The smaller capacity of the mooncup allows for you to only have to empty it a couple times a day, so the larger capacity of the soft cups would (in my view) encourage people to leave them in longer - hence the greater chance of infection.

However, if you really do miss having sex when on your period and don't want messy sex - then the soft cups are a great idea.
They keep everything clean and form a barrier against the flow.
They are not however contraceptive and should not be used as a barier method of contraception.

Everything has it's good and bad points to be honest.
While I really want to try a mooncup, the instead soft cups just don't do it for me.
