Hi, my name is Lexus and I’m 15. I was searching about having a tampon in the shower and a link about someone who got TSS from tampons popped up. I read it and am suddenly very nervous about using my tapons even though they are the light. My flow is pretty average I think but can be kinda heavy depending. My cramps are really bad at times and I have to take an advil to calm the pain. As I was reading all the comments I heard about menstrual cups and was curious so I searched them up and am really interested in trying them because of their benefits ie: no TSS risk, less cost, helps the enviornment, calms cramps, etc. etc., but I have no idea how to bring them up to my Mom. Especially since I’m a virgin and am not sure how it would work out. It’s not that I don’t think she’d talk to me about it and help me through it or actually be very open about it, but I’m still really nervous to ask mostly because I have no about what to say or even what brand I would think of getting and trying. Any advice you can give me would be so helpful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
