How should I tell my mom about menstrual cups?
If you're close with your mom then choose a time when you can sit down and talk about cups - parents react well to their children talking to them like responsible adults. Just in case your mom doesn't know about cups have some information printed off (Scarleteen 'What Are Menstrual Cups?' is good to use) to show her - many women are a little closed-minded about cups at first, so don't worry if she isn't receptive at first.Another idea is to wait until you go shopping for period supplies and watch for menstrual cups, casually show them to your mom and mention that you've heard they're good - play-up the benefits of menstrual cups; much safer for teens than tampons, more convenient for you at school, body-positive, can teach you a lot about your body, etc.In particular focus on the benefits in price - menstrual cups can be expensive innitially (although shopping round online you can get cups far cheaper than in stores) but they pay for themselves within a few months and save hundreds compared to tampons and pads - parents like to save money. You can also offer to do housework to earn the cup, offer to pay for part of it with pocket money, or ask for it for a gift - this way your mom knows you're serious about the idea, and she sees it as less of a loss for her if you don't use it.Tips for tampons to your parents about menstrual cups - http://www.lunette.com/blog/2013/07/tips-for-talking-to-your-parents-about-menstrual-cups
