its not really a good idea because the blood released in your period is wat helps u remove the tampon and it could get stuck

Answer 2

No, absolutely not.

There's no reason to use tampons when not menstruating, doing so puts you at unnecessary risk - using tampons when not menstruating increases risks of Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) as without menstrual flow tampons will absorb more vaginal fluids that will result in increased vaginal tissue damage, giving TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS a more direct route into your bloodstream so posing higher risk.

Answer 3

No, you can't wear a tampon when not menstruating.

Apart form the fact there is no reason what-so-ever to wear a tampon when you're not menstruating, it's also uncomfortable and very dangerous to wear tampons when not menstruating.

Tampons absorb vaginal moisture needed to protect the vaginal tissues, thus they can cause ulceration and splitting of the vaginal walls - without menstrual flow tampons will be even more likely to dry-out and damage vaginal tissues. This damage can make tampon use more uncomfortable but also it gives TSST-1 toxins direct access to your bloodstream, thus it puts you at significantly higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome.

Answer 4

Absolutely. You should probably practice with the slender or teen model, and may need a bit of lubrication to get it into the right place. It is a good idea to be ready for when you start.
