Should I?

Question

I'm 14 and I've been using pads and only pads since I've gotten my period 2 years ago and I have a really heavy period to the point where I leak through nighttime pads and I'm sick of wearing something that feels like a diaper and tampons have never seemed like the best option either so I've been thinking about getting a menstrual cup should I?  If so should where should I get it from?
Update: I’ve been convinced! Any brands you’d suggest? Also any that ship fast because I want to get it fast enough for my next period also any tips on getting started?
Update to update:

Just got my cup I decided to go with the super Jennie as it was recommended to me when I took the put a cup in it test.

Answer

I’m 16 and I use a smaller cup called salt. when I first started I wish my mom knew more information about the menstral cup. It has made my life a lot easier. I used to use tampons all the time and I always had really bad cramps because I would put my tampon so high that it was touching my cervix. At the time I didn’t know what a cervix was until I started used the MC. When I started learning how to use it, i had to learn how high my cervix was and if mine was tilted or not. I think it’s a great idea. I’m a virgin so when I first tried using it, it was intimidating because it looks small until you fold it and prepare to put it in and I was like this isn’t going to fit. But it’s all about relaxing and breathing. I felt some pressure but after practicing before I got my period helps. Now its really easy.

Answer

I wish I’d started using a cup much earlier. I am currently 26 and started using the cup this year. I use a Me Luna and I know their company sells “shorties” that are made for teens so they’re smaller. I wish I’d known about the cup and I’m a little peeved that my mom (she’s a nurse) decided not to tell me about them when I was younger even though she knew about them then lol

Answer

Hey girl, I was right there with you when i was your age and even now. My flow has always been heavy. I definantly recommend the cup. And it does leak a little here and there but nothing to big that it's going to go through to your pants. I definantly recommend getting pattie liners when you wear this just so that you dont ruin your clothes if it leaks.

Answer

I would take the put a cup in it quiz that’s what I did when I wanted to use a cup. I started using my Lena cup when I was 14 there was a learning curve but I now have the hang of it.

Answer

Also every cup is different, I I didn’t like the diva cup and I switched to a softer, smaller cup and it’s so much better

Answer

I have heavy flow and was a religious tampon user but I discovered the diva cup probably a year and a half ago and it’s changed my life! Once you get the hang of it it’s less painful, causes fewer leaks, it’s cost effective and eco friendly! It’s a little bit of mess but you get used to it :)

Answer

Yeah! It’s totally worth it. Some brand offer refunds if you don’t like them. Maybe start with one of those? (I started with Blossom cup)
