When my boys were 4 and 3, I needed to use the loo urgently to put in my mooncup, and as they were so young they had to come in with me. They wanted to know what the cup was, and why I was bleeding so I told them that ladies get a cushion of blood in their belly every month incase a baby starts, and when it doesn't the cushion comes away so I catch it in the cup and flush it all away.
They have never really asked since then, I think it satisfied their curiosity.
That said, I would not have chosen for them to see me put my mooncup in because I am quite private, even with my kids, but I had no choice and I didn't want to hide what I was doing because the blood+no explanation would have freaked them out.
ETA: I was at a shopping mall when this happened, hence why they had to come into the loos with me
