∙ 8y agoThere's no specific age to use tampons, although they're not recommended to pre-teens or teens as there is a higher risk of TSS - this is because younger women are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and may be less likely to follow precautions with tampon use. It's also not recommended to use tampons for the first six cycles or so, this is because you'll not know your flow to know what absorbency to use safely - using too high an absorbency increased TSS risks. It's best to start with pads when you're young, and if you want to use internal options consider safe options like menstrual cups.

Brown spots on tampon?
If you remove a tampon and it has brown spots then it is likely old blood, normal when your period is light as it takes time for the blood to leave your body and it goes brown.
