Newbie!

Hello everyone,

My Mooncup UK just arrived today so I'm trying it out.. Quite exciting since I had a panic attack the other night about landfills (I'm also doing finals so quite jittery generally these days!!!!)

Hoping it all goes OK, I'm at home at the moment so good for practising, but worried about cleaning it in public - I'll be starting a new job around the time of my next period. I also wasn't expecting the insertion/removal to be quite as "hands-on"!! I guess you just get used to it? Would anyone recommend having those gel handwashes handy when in public?

Also for those who carry a spare - do you just pop it into the cotton bag, then clean both when you get home?

Thanks!
