My moon cycle's come round again, and I've still got my new menstrual cup to keep me happy. I feel So much less DISGUSTING wearing this than I ever did with pads or tampons. It's a great way to actually enjoy your cycle. I've also found that since I've been eating more healthily I don't cramp anymore, and a Very heavy flow on the first two days turned out to be 'flooding' - caused by a particular unhealthy eating pattern, so that's not happening anymore.
Anyway, I was posting because I found another source for menstrual cups, this one based in the UK - MoonCup. It's essentially the same as the DivaCup, also made with medical grade silicone.
I also found this adorable menstrual calendar in case you want to support a cool lady and have a snazzy way to keep track of how your cycles line up. Viva La Menstruacion
While researching today I found that some are using their menstrual blood in their compost and as plant fertilizer - there was specific health concern regarding pathogens, though you can apparently dry your blood in the oven just like slaughterhouses do to produce bloodmeal for plants. I think I'd rather try to paint with mine. Maybe that'll change once I have a home garden. Who knows.
