My great-grandmother (aaages ago, probably in the 20s?) got her period and thought she was dying so she sat out in the snow to try to stop the bleeding.
Dunno if that's the kind of misconception you're talking about, though.
I'm really surprised at how few girls use cups, though, considering they're about the best things ever. It bothers me that they're never advertised, but pads and tampons are EXCLUSIVELY.
