Ruth
No more thrush! After several rounds of treatment for vaginal thrush (which always got worse during and just after my period), my doctor recommended that I try to stop using tampons, as they can make thrush worse by absorbing too much moisture. Well, the idea of having to manage with just pads, and probably having to change (pad and stained pants) every hour or more, didn't exactly fill me with joy, so I got a Mooncup a couple of months ago, and since then have had no thrush at all. Hooray! It wasn't the environmental or cost factor that made me buy the Mooncup, but now, as I only need a small pad for a couple of days (just as a "belt and braces" approach), I'm going to make a few reusable sanitary towels, so I'll never need to buy any more sanitary products ever again! Now what can I spend all that saved money on???
