Oh yeah! I'm doin the Happy Dance!! I got mine yesterday, just in time for this month's moon!! I heard of the concept of The Keeper (Diva Cup, Moon Cup) first on the motheringdotcommune; fascinating, for those wooo wooo hippie types of whom I'm not crunchy enough to count myself among. It was only available on the internet and I began saying, when I can walk in a store and buy it from the shelf, then I'll have one. Karen has one; last summer when we were both bleeding at the Folk Fest, I was out of organic supplies and had to use gas station tampons for the weekend and she just kept dumping her cup!! Hmmmmm, rayon on the cervix or natural rubber in the 'gina? (not to mention the whole "no trash" thing is appealing!) I increased the intensity of my request to the universe. Last Friday, Eli and I were shopping at East Dakota and viola! there they were!! (which led to another of those cool conversations with Eli) They're stocking Size B (no vaginal birth), to see how they sell.... I ordered my Size A (post vaginal birth) and encouraged them to have this size, as women often learn about The Keeper from other mamas. For the first time in a while, I'm actually excited to get my moon time!!

I have a moon cup that I bought off the shelf in Stockton-on-Tees (the equivalent of Council Bluffs, maybe) that I tried really hard to use. But I'm too big for it (it's a Size A). They suggest, on the packaging, that if it doesn't work you should try yoga. I just went back to pads and tried to shush those voices that said I'm just too loose to be a good woman, sigh...
too bad you can't buy one labeled "Size Queen" -- as it would be aptly named if they used male dominated marketing, hee hee hee... I shall now deem my kegels: schuylers! ♥
LOL! Oh, darling to think that I'll be in your thoughts as you lift and squeeze, joy!
