There are no age limits on menstrual cups - anyone can use them, and in fact they are recommended for younger women as they're safer than tampons, can make menstruation easier during school, and can improve body-literacy.

If you're a very small girl then it is best to go for small cups like Ladycup or MeLuna, but otherwise a mid-sized cup like Mooncup would be best.

Females can use tampons at any age in theory, however due to health risks they're not recommended to pre-teens or teens. It's also recommended that tampons aren't used for the first six cycles or so as the female is unlikely to know her flow pattern to know what absorbency to use safely. It's best to start with pads, and then to consider menstrual cups instead of tampons as cups are safer.

Why is my menstrual cup not working even though it's definitely open?

Menstrual cups work by collecting the menstrual flow before it leaves your body, there are many reasons why a menstrual cup may not use even when open. One of the main causes of leaking even when the cup is open is due to positioning, it needs to be sitting directly under your cervix so as the blood leaves the cervix it goes into the cup, otherwise if the cup is to the side of the cervix blood may bypass the cup. It's also important to have a seal between the cup and vaginal walls, being open doesn't necessarily mean that the seal is created, try turning the cup to ensure the seal.
