It depends how 'light' your flow is.
Tampons can't be worn with light flow because with less blood tampons will absorb more vaginal discharge so cause vaginal tearing that allows bacterial toxins to enter the bloodstream, which can lead to Toxic shock syndrome - less blood means more drying, thus more damage and higher risk.
If you use a light tampon and is it not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours then your period is not heavy enough to use tampons and you need to switch back to using pads. You can also use menstrual cups or softcups with light flow as they don't pose risk of TSS like with tampons.

How do you put on and remove a tampon if you never got your period?
I hope you are not wearing a tampon when not on a period. This is unhealthy and if you are just starting your period you should not be using a tampon until you are older. The tampon box gives written as well as a diagram of how to put in a tampon. Follow the directions and read the warnings. This is very important.

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. If your period is light then you should not be using tampons at all, only use tampons with full flow. If the tampon has brown spots before insertion then throw it out and check other tampons before using them.
How do you put tampon in anus?
I recommend you don't do that, and keep it for its original purpose - placing it in your vagina, to absorb period blood.
