Proof that Menstrual Cups are Safe

Hi!

I asked my parents if I could have a menstrual cup and they were really against it. They think it won't be safe.

They told me I needed to show them proof from medical journals, or other sources that menstrual cups are safe.

So do you guys know any articles, journals, etc. about menstrual cup safety?

Sidenote: I'm 17, so would you guys recommend the small Lunette or the small Mooncup?

EDIT:

My dad is concerned because I might have a blood clotting problem (blood clotting too easily) because he does, so he's extra cautious
He doesn't believe the "propaganda" of the websites and doesn't care if the FDA approved it.
He doesn't care if they're better than tampons because "tampons are out of question anyway"

*sigh*
