Yes you can, however, the doctor does recommend that you avoid wearing them at night. If you do use them do not be surprised if they clot wraps around the tampon, or comes out when you go to the restroom. Tampons tend to be more clean, and less aggravating. You can always try it, and if you don't like it stop then. It would probably be best to do it on a Saturday or when you do not need to go anywhere that way you can get used to it. Good Luck!!

∙ 9y agoYes, you can use tampons.
What you're calling clots are likely to be larger pieces of the uterine lining which are shed during heavier days of your period, this is a normal part of your menstrual flow. Menstrual blood doesn't clot like normal blood so you won't see much clotting in menstrual flow, just uterine tissue and sometimes also thick cervical mucus mixing with blood.
It's perfectly okay to use tampons with this sort of flow, as this is normal flow. The uterine tissue will come out with the tampon or afterwards when you alternate with pads.

How are ovarian cysts treated by doctors?
Some cysts can be drained of fluid with the use of a fine needle, although this treatment has been shown to be no more effective in eliminating cysts than leaving them alone.
Can you still use tampons after several natural child births?
Of course you can still use tampons after several natural child births. There's no reason why a person wouldn't be able to use tampons, if they still menstruate then they can still use menstrual products like tampons. After childbirth the vagina will always return to the normal size, maybe a little less vaginal tone but still enough to be able to hold a product like tampons. If someone struggles to use tampons after natural childbirth then they should talk to their doctor as something isn't right.
Can the NuvaRing cure a ruptured cyst?
NuvaRing will not cure or treat a ruptured cyst. Use of NuvaRing may prevent new ovarian cysts from occurring.
Do tampons have an expiry date?
No, tampons don't expire because of the materials used and sanitation to reduce bacteria being present in the tampons - some tampons may have an expiry date on the box, this is to do with potential bacterial growth, but this is uncommon. However tampons are only sanitary not sterile so they can still contain bacteria and even mold, if tampons aren't kept in a clean dry place they will not be safe to use. Although tampons don't expire it's still not a great idea to use tampons that are a few years or even decades old - yes, sometimes you do find tampons this old.
Can you use a tampon 2 days after 1 dose monistat treatment?
Don't use tampons if you still have a yeast infection, or any other vaginal infection. Tampons increase risk of vaginal infections, so if you already have an infection or chance of still having an infection, it may increase. It's best for you to use pads and pantiliners for the rest of your period rather than tampons.
Can men use tampons?
Men do not have a vagina, so they cannot use tampons for their intended purpose. (i.e. - to put inot your vagina when you have your period, so as to stop the bleeding from leaking out of your body.) If they wished to use them for other purposes, though I'm not really sure what they would be, then men could in fact use tampons. This might not be medically safe or good for the man's health, however, so I would not recommend it.
Ovarian cysts?
DefinitionAn ovarian cyst is a sac filled with fluid that forms on or inside of an ovary.This article is about cysts that form during your monthly menstrual cycle, called functional cysts. Functional cysts are not the same as cysts caused by cancer or other diseases.For more information about other causes of cysts on or near the ovaries, see also:Dermoid cystEctopic pregnancyEndometriosisOvarian cancerPolycystic ovary syndromeAlternative NamesPhysiologic ovarian cysts; Functional ovarian cysts; Corpus luteum cysts; Follicular cystsCauses, incidence, and risk factorsEach month during your menstrual cycle, a follicle (where the egg is developing) grows on your ovary. Most months, an egg is released from this follicle (called ovulation). If the follicle fails to break open and release an egg, the fluid stays in the follicle and forms a cyst.This is called a follicular cyst.Another type of cyst, called a corpus luteum cyst, occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle. These often contain a small amount of blood.Ovarian cysts are somewhat common, and are more common during a woman's childbearing years (from puberty to menopause). Ovarian cysts are less common after menopause.No known risk factors have been found.Functional ovarian cysts are not the same as ovarian tumors (including ovarian cancer) or cysts due to hormone-related conditions such as polycystic ovary disease.Taking fertility drugs can cause a condition called ovarian hyperstimulation, in which multiple large cysts are formed on the ovaries. These usually go away after a woman's period, or after a pregnancy.SymptomsOvarian cysts often cause no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they are typically pain or a late period.An ovarian cyst is more likely to cause pain if it:Becomes largeBleedsBreaks openIs bumped during sexual intercourseIs twisted or causes twisting (torsion) of the Fallopian tubeSymptoms of ovarian cysts can include:Bloating or swelling in the abdomenPain during bowel movementsPain in the pelvis shortly before or after beginning a menstrual periodPain with intercourse or pelvic pain during movementPelvic pain -- constant, dull achingSudden and severe pelvic pain, often with nausea and vomiting, may be a sign of torsion or twisting of the ovary on its blood supply, or rupture of a cyst with internal bleedingChanges in menstrual periods are not common with follicular cysts, and are more common with corpus luteum cysts. Spotting or bleeding may occur with some cysts.Signs and testsYour health care provider may discover a cyst during a physical exam, or when you have an ultrasound test for another reason.Ultrasound is done on many patients to diagnose a cyst. Your doctor may want to check you again in 4 - 6 weeks to make sure it is gone.Other imaging tests that may be done when needed include:CT scanDoppler flow studiesMRIYour health care provider may be able to feel the ovarian cyst during a pelvic exam.The doctor may order the following blood tests:Ca-125 test, to look for possible cancer in women who have reached menopause or who have an abnormal ultrasoundHormone levels (such as LH, FSH, estradiol, and testosterone)Serum HCG(pregnancy test)TreatmentFunctional ovarian cysts usually don't need treatment. They usually disappear within 8 - 12 weeks without treatment.Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) may be prescribed for 4 - 6 weeks. Longer-term use may decrease the development of new ovarian cysts. Birth control pills do not decrease the size of current cysts, which often will go away on their own.Surgery to remove the cyst or ovary may be needed to make sure there are no cancer cells. Surgery is more likely to be needed for:Complex ovarian cysts that don't go awayCysts that are causing symptoms and do not go awaySimple ovarian cysts that are larger than 5 - 10 centimetersWomen who are menopausal or near menopauseTypes of surgery for ovarian cysts include:Exploratory laparotomyPelvic laparoscopy to remove the cyst or the ovaryThe doctor may recommend other treatments if a disorder, such as polycystic ovary disease, is causing the ovarian cysts.Expectations (prognosis)Cysts in women who are still having periods are more likely to go away. There is a higher risk of cancer in women who are postmenopausal.ComplicationsComplications have to do with the condition causing the cysts. Complications can occur with cysts that:BleedBreak openShow signs of changes that could be cancerTwistCalling your health care providerCall for an appointment with your health care provider if:You have symptoms of an ovarian cystYou have severe painYou have bleeding that is not normal for youAlso call for an appointment if the following symptoms have been present on most days for at least 2 weeks:Getting full quickly when eatingLosing your appetiteLosing weight without tryingPreventionIf you are not trying to get pregnant and you often get functional cysts, you can prevent them by taking hormone medications (such as birth control pills), which prevent follicles from growing.ReferencesKatz VL.

You don't, you should only ever use tampons when menstruating.Tampons are not hygienic or healthy so they should be avoided when at all possible, if you do use tampons you only use them during menstruation.

Should you use Jr Tampons?
There's nothing to say that you should use tampons full-stop, you have other options you can use instead. Jr tampons are light absorbency tampons, only named jr tampons in the US to try to encourage young women to use tampons earlier in order for tampon companies to increase product loyalty early. If you do use tampons you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow, if that means using jr tampons then those are the ones that you will use.
