No, if you use tampons you still have to use pads - it's not safe to wear tampons before your period or with light flow, and it's not hygienic to use tampons throughout your entire period so you should ideally alternate with pads or at least wear pads at night.
Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration which increases TSS risks by giving TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into the bloodstream - thus tampons shouldn't be worn without sufficient flow. Tampons encourage bacterial growth and prevent vaginal cleaning, inserting one tampon after another keeps bacteria within the vagina, using pads allows your vagina a chance to clean itself and heal.
Pads.
Yes, tampons and pads are FSA (Flexible Spending Account) eligible for purchase.
No, pads and tampons do not contain chemicals that can potentially increase menstrual bleeding.
"Always"pads and "Tampax Pearl Tampons"
One option would be to use menstrual cups. Menstrual cups are internal like tampons but safer and more hygienic so can be worn for 12 hours, including with any flow and overnight without need to alternate with pads. Cups are more comfortable than tampons or pads and don't leak like tampons or pads.
No it's not
In my opinion I would say no
You wear pads of tampons
There's no reason why they wouldn't. Presumably the rate at which Chassidic women use tampons v. pads is similar to the general American populace.

Menstrual cups are also more convenient than tampons or pads as they can be worn for up to 12 hours with any flow and at any time without needing to alternate with pads as you would with tampons, menstrual cups also don't leak like tampons or pads. Look into all your options to see what you think will work for you.
They're CLEANER - wearing a pad is like wearing a diaper! * Tampons are not cleaner, the opposite is true, and only disposable pads feel like diapers. also you can get TSS from tampons which obviously isnt healthy :P
ask the nurse for pads or call your mom and tell her for pads or tampons.
