When should you start using tampons?

Question

I'm 14, and started my period in June. Anyways, now that i'm in high school, I really don't want to were pads because i'm really heavy and I feel like I am wearing a gynormous dyper. I also can't where certain jeans and pants. Anyways, what age is it okay to start wearing one? And I can't talk to my mom about it because she REALLY doesn't understand things like this. I also have no clue how to put one in or anything, I'm just really afraid of staining my pants. :(

Thanks.

Answer 5

You can wear them anytime you feel is right. As long as you know how to insert it properly, then you will be fine. If its awkward with your mum, just go to the supermarket alone and get them.

Answer 6

You can start them ANYTIME!!

Put the bigger half in and push the smaller half in then pull

all the plastic out.

If it hurts, you put it in wrong.

These things are life savers!

Answer 7

you can start anytime you start your period. i just started wearing tampons and i'm 14. i had the biggest problem with tampons but its actually very easy. just insert the applicator into your v****a and then push the actual tampon in. its suppose to go pretty deep. dont worry it doesnt hurt. you cant feel a thing!

you should tell your mom all the problems you had with pads and how tampons are good. thats what i did with my mom. she is totally fine with it. i'm actually really messy with my pads and she hates seeing the wrappers on the floor and bloody pads in the trash so shes happy that tampons are cleaner and easier... and flushable!
