I got mine off the uk site years ago. I LURVE it!

Only draw back is I have flow that has a sudden surge on day 3 (*TMI* you know that clear fluid?) and I find it fills very quickly to overflowing unexpectedly sometimes.

On the first couple of nights I use a pad as my flow is heavy but after that I dont use them. I just empty it every loo stop in the first few days then a couple of times on the last day or two. easy! No more buying differnt absorbancies, knowing how many to take everywhere, having them fall out our pocket or handbag etc etc. You can even wear it the day you are expecting AF if you dont have any pockets to carry it! It's good for getting to know exactly what your flow is like etc, feels better (not drying) and is way cheaper in the long run too. Yay for mooncups!

Dont trim the stalk too short to start with. I found I could shorten it more after I got used to using it.

I've just come to this part of BB now to find out about cloth pads too actually!
