menstrual-cups.wikidot.com
I've created a wiki where you can add different menstrual cup sellers and their websites. Here's a link to the Oceania section: http://menstrual-cups.wikidot.com/oceaniaIt's free for everybody to change and the code is very easy to learn. If you know of any Australian/Kiwi cup sellers that aren't listed, feel free to update it yourself or add the link in a comment to this post :) |

Hi there everyone Just wanted to say how disappointing it is to be the first of everyone I know to have a keeper. I would think that such a wonder product would be widely advertised and mothers would be introducing them to daughters as standard practice. Although not without it's down's as well as ups, I would never be without one and recommend it to any one who'll listen. cheers |

Why is australia behind?
I have been stalking these cup sites for sometime now, always curious yet never knowing which one to try, to scared etc to take the bite. But i have finally decided that its now or never, only to find out theres a few more cups now available, and yet always buying from overseas unless you go the divacup (available on ebay) or the keeper. So why is australia behind? Why are these cups not available at the chemist or atleast online shipping? Im eagarly awaiting the delivery of my new pinkcup, and desperatley hoping I chose the right one for me...Out of curiousity, why did you chose the cup you did? What deciding factors over the others available? |

I have a question, please forgive me if i am asking in the wrong place but not many answers happen at TMI_questions. I bought a Diva Cup and used it for most of my last period BUT i had leaks, so i still had to wear a pad to work and in bed, Ive read others posts about how brilliant they are and how they dont leak! What am i doing wrong, i just kinda pinch it up and then put it in till i can't really feel it. X posted all over |

Is there a moderator for this board?
If there is, Hi! Sorry I couldn't find you! Can I suggest you remove the previous post about Christmas hampers which is totally irrelevant advertising? If not, is there any other way to get rid of this?? |

Fellow Aussies, what do you do about the time problem?
What I mean is that you post a question on the (mainly US-dominated) boards, then go to bed and when you get back the next morning you find that the whole thread of discussion has developed without you? Does anyone know what is a good time to be online to try to catch up with what is being said? I mostly post in the daytime when I am at work (faster connection here) but if I was watching a particular thread I could log on at home too. I've tried to work out what times the US sites are active, but it seems to vary a lot depending on what part of the US they are in. Do most people post in the evenings or the daytime? |

New Lunette user joins community!
Hi everyone! I'm in Melbourne and am just completing my first cycle with the Lunette. I'm asking myself why I didn't do this YEARS ago! This is the best thing since... well, ever! I used to be a dedicated tampon user, but this is much better, lasts longer, is cleaner and greener! I'm actually finding that it is much quicker to get used to than tampons were, although I was a virgin back then, too. I just wanted to mention for those wondering which kind of cup to get, this was my favourite source site: http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~obsidian/clothpads/Cups.html which I am still using to get pictures of the different folds (I like punch down best so far). It also has a list and comparisons of the different types, and after reading them I agreed with her and went for a Lunette too! (Don't get scared off by the Finnish site, there is an English one as well.) There is also a petition linked on the site about the "stealing" of the brand name "moon cup" by the people who make the "keeper". |

Hi I just came across this site, and it reminded me of hearing about moon cups years ago. I would love to try them, I have only used cloth pads for years now and would never go back to *expensive* *yucky* *disposable* pads! Anyway, I live in Sydney and was wondering, are there any Sydney stockists? Or, at the very least, are there any companies that do mail order within Australia? I'm also confused about the different types. Rubber, silicone, disposable? Wha? Help me! thanks |

Not Impatient, Just Excited :P
Hi, I posted this question on menstrual_cups as well.. buy I thougt I could get a better responce here.. I ordered the DivaCup with the pantiliners yesterday from Lunapads. I live in Sydney. Anyone done the same or similar? I know it says from 2 -4 weeks, but I wanted to know how long it took for someone else.. so I have a closer idea of when to expect them. Glad to see there is an aussie menstrual cup community around! Thanx, Melinda |

New to cups
Wow, I just found this site. I live in sydney and I've never heard of this alternitave to pads and tampons.I've been surfing around this morning following up all the links. This is such a brilliant idea! I'm an avid bushwalker and camper and find tampons out doors a bit anoying (and expensive). Which products are availible here in Australia. Can people sudgest their favorites? I dont particually like the idea of a rubbery smell that people seem to associate with 'the keeper' I'm rather excited! |

Just a heads up...
Insteads will be available here in Oz in a couple of months :) If you email incakyto@hotmail.com they'll send you a sample pack of 6 cups- just tell them you're interested in trying them before they hit the market. I got mine within 3 days, along with a friendly email and so far they're working great :) However, I still plan to buy a DivaCup ASAP! |

I just noticed something...
I've never noticed it before, but now that I'm using a cup and not tampons, I can actually feel and see my discharge while I'm bleeding. I think it's pretty cool, but maybe that's just me :) I dunno, I just never even thought about it before. Yay for cups! |

Hi
I've been stalking some of the groups like this one and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.2) menstrual_cups for a while now, and had been thinking about buying a Keeper for a while now. It was only when I noticed ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) gemfyre talking about her divacup that I started thinking seriously about it. I put in an order a few weeks ago, and just received a lovely little parcel in the mail today. I've already had a test run, and had no problems with insertion, though removal was a bit more tricky. Damn, I want my period now though!! Current Mood: excited |
