I just got my period.....!


Question: I just got my period!.!.!.!.!.
I've had my period only twice and I was thinking about switching to menstrual cups!. They seem healthier!. I was wondering what girls thought about menstrual cups!. I don't really want to hear you gush about how awesome they are, because you can find that on the website, but I would like some honest opinions!.

Also, I was wonder what time you think it would be a good to try a tampon!. Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yeah the thought of a cup really doesnt do it for me!. They say it's more hygeinic but you still have to put the thing up there, take it out and not spill blood all over yourself in the mean time right!? Several times a day, and this is actively fishing in your vagina the whole time!. And then rinsing it out afterwards or something!? ugh, in front of people!?!
Tampons work perfect for me, all you ever touch is the applicator and the string, much less messy!. There is the small risk of toxic shock syndrome with them but i never leave them in longer than 8 hours and know the symptoms so I dont worry about that!.

I dunno, if i was given one for free id give cups a try but definitely not going to go out and buy one!. And id make sure i had nothing planned that day, and no one was in the house lol!.

As for your other question, use tampons when you feel you want to!. I mean you could start using them from your first period but it is useful to get to know your own flow and rythym so you can use the correct size tampon!. It takes a bit of trial and error with them to get to know which size to use and how often you need to change it, but you can start out by using the smallest size available just to get used to putting it in and taking it out!. Then using regulars and seeing how long it takes until the tampon becomes fully saturated and not painful to take out (leaving it in no longer than 8 hours of course)!. And see how it goes!.

I don't know anyone that uses cups!. I actually didn't even know they still exist!

I use tampax pearl tampons along with thin pantyliners and the kotex overnight maxi pads at night!. Play around with different brands and you will soon find the most comfortable ones for you!. Any time is good to start using tampons!. Just be careful to not leave them in for an extended period of time!. The instructions will tell you everything you need to know!Www@Answer-Health@Com

tampon are safe to use at anytime as long as you are ready!. it takes some getting used to!.
i find tampax pearls to be the best!. trust me!. i have tried everything else, best leak prevention out of any other in my opinion!. but it's always a good idea to wear a liner or pad with them just in case you can't always get to the bathroom on time!.

hope i helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Menstrual cups are gross, you get blood on ur fingers when trying to insert and remove it, and they are not as comfortable as they say they are, pads on a heavy period is good tampons for the 2nd or 3rd day of ur period is also a good thing, but mestrual cups are sh**Www@Answer-Health@Com

No idea about the menstrual cup thing,

But tampons are good!. I couldn't get mine in until about four months, but it's different for different people!. I used a mirror to help get my first tampon in!. I recommend Tampax Pearl (I think its called that!.!.!. its something pearl anyways)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have never used them but my best friend did and she said they were too messy and awkward to deal with because you have to wash them out She said it was really inconvenient!.

So she went to tampons and likes it much better!. I have always used tampons and like them very much!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've never used a cup, and i'm not even sure where to buy one!. They are not very popular, and I think that might be because it's not a good product!. I could be wrong though!. I would recommend tampons!. Once you get the hang of them, you'll never use pads again! Www@Answer-Health@Com

honestly i feel pads are the best way to go tampons are uncomfortable and it takes a while to get used to them and to get used to sticking them up there but its a no go on the cupsWww@Answer-Health@Com

iv always used tampons!. from my first time one!. i think the cups are gross!. literally!. i think its nasty!. i think pads are gross too!. i dont want that stuff just sitting around down there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
