Hi! Another member from Italy :)

Hello, I'm Silvia and I'm 32.

I've never heard of menstrual cup until early this year, and I was thrilled! Now I am the happy owner of a MCUK. It has been really a wonderful choice, never had any leaking or problems with folding/opening since I started using it. I realized later how lucky I was, when I bought a medium Meluna ball stem that fits perfectly, but leakes!

I'm really glad to be here in the forum, I really appreciate all the efforts that Melissa and others do to make women know about menstrual cups, and help those of us who have doubts or problems. And is quite a relief to find some people you can talk about this topic... all my friends go into "awwwwh!"-mode ... except my mother who declared "I wish I was younger in order to have one!"

Welcome, Silvia! What a beautiful name. We're always glad to have new members, so we're all happy to see you here! I look forward to seeing you around the forum. ^_^

And by the way, I love your avatar.

Hi Silvia!
Yippi, another Italian!! from wich part of Italy are you? I am from Florence (Firenze )
I really can understand your feeling..the (few) times I've talked about menstrual cups to some friends, their reaction was like "puaaaah, disgunting!"
But here there are a lot of super cool girls, I am sure you will like the forum:)

Thanks girls for your kind welcome!

Sekhmet I'm glad you like my avatar, by the way how do you come to choose that egyptian goddess as your board name?

LisBeth I'm from Trieste, as I use to say "that very forgotten part of north-estern Italy".
I'd like so much to visit Florence with ease. I was there only once on a one-day trip for a display on Brunelleschi's perspective, and the little I saw of the city was really beautiful! I wish travel by train was cheaper...
