Instead Menstrual Cap?

I used one once and hated it.  This is a gross story, but I remember I was at a museum.  When I went to the bathroom to change it, too much had accumulated in the cup and made an embarassing mess.  As for it being worn during sex, I wouldn't advise it.  It's bigger than a diaphragm and doesn't fit very high up into the vagina.  My thought it that it would move and he'd definintely feel it.

You must be a man.  No, because it is not all blood.  It is the lining of the uterus and it comes out in clotts.  That can not be transfused to anyone.

If you have irregular menstruations, you have absolutely refer it to a phycisian. Of course you can get informed from a relative site about woman's health, but remember that in health, one size does not fit all!\nYour physician will take your case history and he will decide about the specific case.

It was invented by your and mine grand grand grand mothers. they used cloth and then cotton when they had menustration. This gave the idea for manufacturing sanitary napkins in due course to comfort the women. \n\nBut Wikipedia source reads - \n\nMenstrual pads have been mentioned as early as in the (10th century) Suda, where Hypatia was said to have thrown her "feminine rags" at an admirer in an attempt to turn him off.\n\nThrough the ages women have used different forms of menstrual protection. The Museum of menstruation has articles and photos of some early forms of menstrual protection. Including among other things, knitted pads, and menstrual aprons. Women often used strips of folded old cloth (rags) to catch their menstrual blood, which is why the term "rags" was used to refer to menstruation.\n\nDisposable menstrual pads appear to have been first commercially available from around 1895 through Curads and Hartmann's. Disposable pads had their start with nurses using their wood pulp bandages to catch their menstrual flow, creating a pad that was made from easily obtainable materials and inexpensive enough to throw away after use. Products like the Johnson & Johnson Lister's Towel failed because of a lack of publicity. Unlike today, the subject of menstruation was not as widely discussed or advertised. One advertising company addressed this, by allowing women to place money into a box (so that the woman would not have to speak to the clerk) and take a box of Kotex pads from the counter themselves. Kotex would appear to be the first of these early disposable menstrual pads to really take off. Several of the first disposable pad manufacturers were also manufacturers of bandages, which could give an indication of what these products were like.\n\nUntil disposable sanitary pads were created, all women used some form of cloth or reusable pad to collect menstrual blood. Even after they were commercially available, for several years they were too expensive for many women to afford. It took many years for disposable menstrual pads to become commonplace, but since then in most areas of the industrialised world, their use became almost exclusive.\n\nCloth menstrual pads made a comeback around the 1970s, with their popularity increasing in the late eighties and early nineties.

I have not personally used this product,however, years ago(at least 25) there was a similar product that was briefly on the market and was later taken off. It was a similar looking flexible cup shaped device that worked in the same way as this one, acting as a little receptacle to hold the blood until you remove it. I did use that product and remember liking it. One problem with it was that if you didn't take it out "properly" the contents spill ed all over which was unpleasant. This one pictured appears to be able to be emptied while still in, which would solve that problem. The other thing to think about is the increased chances of tss and uti's that may be likely with this type of product. Then theres the possible reaction to the material, rubber. If I were still menstruating I do not think I would try it simply because I don't like the idea of an internal method. I do think tho that people that like tampons and loathe the "pad" might want to try it.

There has been some supposition that menstrual cups can promote the development of Endometriosis in women who may be predisposed to the disease.  I wouldn't use the products for that reason alone.  http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=27320

there really is no 'best' when it comes to choosing these things , its all a personal preference. as for me i prefer the tampons for day activities and then pads for night/sleeping or when sick. :)

Trust me... if a woman doesn't have to wear one, she's not going to.  \nUnless you're getting the cramps and everything else that goes with having to wear one...skip it!!!  They are lots of other things you could spend your money on to be more like a woman :-).

you could be right and then you got a big problem.  Go to your gyn and have it checked out and then ask if there is some alternative to latex condoms.  That is what most if not all the condoms on the market are made of. I have heard that they used to use lambskin or something like that  Ask you docotr or pharmacist about it.  Good Luck

There are tampons made especially for teens now. The very slender and easy to insert. Make sure to use them together with a maxi pad, though, because if you are flowing heavy they often aren't enough protection.\n\nGet the thin, overnight pads with wings (extra long too, if you can find them). Wear 2 if you need it. Bring lots of extras with you so you can change often and feel fresh thoughout the wedding and reception.\n\nIf you want to try something different there are menstrual cups available (in Canada we have "Instead"). They come in a package of 6, and each one looks just like a diaphragm (contraceptive device). The instructions on how to insert it is on there as well. Again, use it with a pad to be sure that no leaks occur.\n\nIn case a leak happens remember that the best way to get rid of blood is to soak it immediately in ice water. You could rub an ice cube on the spot if you needed to. You could also bring a darker colored shawl, just in case of an accident and that way you could cover your backside and still go on with the evening even if you got a small stain.\n\nIf I were you, I would try to use the teen size tampons with the thin, overnight size pads and bring a shawl just in case.\n\nGood luck!

Do you mean pads?\n\nIt's called menstruation.\n\nTalk to your parents or a trusted adult about it.

That's just a new fancy name for PMS. Take pamprin and eat chocolate.
