Menstrual cup for young daughter

7 replies

ilovemilton · 07/10/2018 14:07

DD 13 has had enough of tampax making her sore and hates pads. She knows I use a cup and would like to try one.

She's tiny and skinny. Any advice which one would be good to start with?

try here its made for teens x www.farmdrop.com/products/and-sisters/the-nudie-period-cup/6779

Are the tampax making her sore because they aren't in the right position? I'm not sure why they would otherwise. If that's the case I wonder if a cup is really the right solution. I suppose she can only try.

No she says it's the actual in and out, like she's too dry or something (sorry TMI). Isn't that a problem some people have, that seems to be solved with cups?

I'm not sure it will be solved with cups - you actually need to be more invasive with them rather than less (I've used one for the past 8 years for full disclosure).

I do remember how difficult it was to insert a tampon at your DD's age, and used to use KY to lubricate it. Maybe, if she did opt for a moon cup, that might work too?

Has she tried light flow . I found these better as a teen

Comparison website I just found and the more I looked into it there is quite a bit of advice for teens and a quiz to help you find the right one. https://putacupinit.com
