Usually menustral cups can be... I'm pretty sure if you wash it it should.  How many did it come with when you bought it?  If it came in a pack of 20 or something they're probably disposable but if you got one, you probably have to wash it.

pads can help. if your periods are really heavy, you might need to see a doctor.

tampons! they are much cleaner, feel a lot better and you are able to be more active... They take a few attempts to get them in correctly and to start feeling comfrontable, but i will never go back.. good luck

beingirl.com i have had mine for 3 years this month and i used this site from the begning and they can tell you tips. and you can get free pads and tampons and they will send you coupns to go with the ones, there are these things you can fill out and find out what kind of pads and tampons you need and they will tell you how to use them. and since you just started i will tell you that tampons are gods gift to women, try them at lest for a whole box and if you never wear them again that is fine but if you do it right they will be comfterble and people will try to tell you that they hurt but they dont (if you do it right)!!\nwell Good luck with being a woman ( i know it sucks!)

There's no certain time you can start using them. I only use tampons, I think pads are gross. I've used pads before, but definately not my preference. When just starting out, I use my first two fingers in the shape of a "V" on my left hand to spread everything open down there, then insert the tampon with the right hand. If you're left handed, switch hands. When you first start using them you may feel it once you first insert it, otherwise you won't feel it at all.\n\nI use Tampax with cardboard applicator. But youmay want to start with a plastic, rounded applicator tip. OB tampons are also very good to use, but they take a little more practice because they don't have an applicator. My neices don't like them because you have to physically push the tampon into your vagina with your finger. They think it's gross, but they are so much more convenient because they are so much more smaller. Also, the box they come in is much smaller, therefore, they don't take up as much space in the bathroom; they are also a lot cheaper.\n\nGood Luck!!

do you mean in a day? wheen you get around thirty you actually may not be able to have any fluid come out when you go for a second time. but when you are young you may have less swimmers but i would not count on it for any birth control measures

I would take them again but you need to be careful and use other methods of protection until you've had a week back on the pill. Another tip, what about a coil, mirena coil, it releases progesterone so you won't forget to take your pill again. Bit undignified at first but I wouldn't look back.

Yes, they are made to protect your panties from getting ruined. they are also good to use when you  have ur period and were tampons.

You definitely need to change the tampon more than once in 9 hours.  Safe usage means you use the tampon with the *lowest* capacity for your menstrual flow that would enable you to change it AT LEAST every 3-4 hours.  If you leave it in longer you may be at greater risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome - read the article in the link below.  Wash your hands BEFORE as well as after changing a tampon.  Tampax are a good brand because they have an applicator.  Follow these guidelines and you should be fine.

Yes you should.  Our office of approximately 30 uses ours daily.  Coffee cups go in at night and we run it either last thing at night or first thing in the morning.  Sterilizing personal coffee cups should cut down on illnesses within the office, leading to increased productivity and eventually a listing on the Fortune 500!

Wear your tampon. You will be fine. I know you will be able to change because you cannot hold pee for 8+ hours

I use a mooncup www.mooncup.co.uk\n\nI really like it:\nYou don't have to carry anything extra with you\nMy periods are a bit lighter \nI can swim and do yoga with it (which I couldn't when using towels, at least not on the heaviest days)\nIt doesn't dry your vagina out unlike tampons\nIt works out to be much cheaper\nIt's much better for the environment\n\nIt takes a little while before you get used to inserting and removing it, but you will get used to it if you persist. I wasn't a virgin when I started using one, but the brand I use comes in 2 different sizes, and I have the larger one, you would probably need the smaller. If you have used tampons previously and are fairly familiar with and comfortable with that part of your body, you'll be OK.

1st off...you don't want to use tampons yet...unless you have to swim during that time, and when you do, use the lightest absorbancy there is (jr lites). Follow the direcetion on the leaflet in the box.   Also, every ones cycle is a bit different.  Usually 3-6 days is normal, changing pads or tampons about every 6 hrs. Good luck, and welcome to Womanhood.
