I'm using pad since I started my periods
I'm thinking of switching to menstrual cup. Is menstrual cup safe option for me as a teenager? Won't it be any problem if I insert something externally inside my body? Is it painful to use the menstrual cup? Will it affect me in future?

Its a safe option
Menstrual cup while inserting u might feel little uncomfortable and painful in the beginning but later on u wont feel tht way and U ll b leak free for 8-12 hrs once u insert
But sometimes there can be a tear of hymen which is not an issue medically
So U can go on with menstrual cup

Yes it is a safe option
There would be no problem if you insert something inside your body
Initial few attempts can be painful
You need to understand that this may make you lose the integrity of the hymen
