You can but it's really not recommended at all.
If it's your first period then even if it is heavy enough to use tampons you still won't know how heavy or light it's going to be on any given day so there is a higher risk of you using too high an absorbency. Using too high an absorbency is not just uncomfortable but also increases TSS risks.
Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens as even if you're responsible enough to learn about the risks and follow precautions, you're still at higher risk of TSS. This is because younger women are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and vaginal tissues are likely to be more delicate so more prone to damage: which allows TSST-1 toxins access to the bloodstream so higher TSS risk.
Discharge is how your vagina cleans itself, it flushes out dead cells, dirt and bacteria in order to keep your vagina clean and healthy - it is not a good idea to prevent this self-cleaning function, particularly by giving bacteria a porous warm and moist environment such as a tampon.
No, you shouldn't use tampons during your first period.
You have no idea how heavy/light flow is going to be, thus you risk using too high an absorbency for your flow or using tampons when your flow is too light. Using too high an absorbency or using tampons without sufficient flow causes increased vaginal splitting as a result of drying, this gives bacterial toxins responsible for Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) direct access to your blood-flow so poses higher risks of TSS. It's recommended you wait at least six cycles before using tampons.
Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens as they're at higher risk of TSS, it's best to use pads first and if you want to move on to internal options to use menstrual cups or softcups.
You're 'allowed' to use tampons on your first period, but it's not recommended.
During your first period it's unlikely you would even have a regular flow pattern, you've have no way of knowing your flow pattern to know what absorbency you could use safely - using too high an absorbency increases risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Tampons in general aren't recommended for younger women because they are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and vaginal tissues are more delicate, thus as a result younger women are at far greater risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
It's best to use pads at first, and if you want to use internal options consider safer products such as menstrual cups or softcups over tampons, if you still want to use tampons be sure that you understand the risks and how to reduce those health risks by being sure to follow precautions.
It's not a good idea.
As it's only your second period you won't know your flow pattern to know what absorbency is safe to use, it's likely your flow isn't even going to follow a regular pattern or that your flow isn't heavy enough for tampons at this point. It's recommended you wait around 6 cycles until you have a regular flow pattern so you know what tampon absorbency to use safely during your period.
Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens at all, even if you're mature enough to understand the risks and responsible enough to follow precautions, because you're at much greater risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome due to the fact you're less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies.
It's really not recommended.
During your first period you've no idea how light or heavy your period is going to be, thus you have no way of knowing what absorbency to use - using too high an absorbency is not just uncomfortable but significantly increases your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. It's recommended to wait six months.
Tampons aren't recommended to younger women either, this is because they're less likely to have TSST-1 toxin antibodies and vaginal tissues are more delicate so more prone to damage that allows TSST-1 toxins enter the bloodstream - thus higher risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
It's best to use pads at first, if a young woman wants to use internal options it's best she consider menstrual cups or softcups which are safer than tampons so suitable from menarche.
No, you should never use tampons when not menstruating. There is absolutely no reason to use tampons if you're not on your period or withdrawal bleed. Tampons dry-out the vagina so causes damage in vaginal walls that are not only uncomfortable but also give toxins a direct route into your bloodstream, thus without menstrual flow tampons will be even more drying so pose higher risk.
You can but I would recommend not to just because of the discomforting feeling.
Yes, but only if your comfortable with it. It doesnt matter how old you are or which period your on
You can use it on your second period. Just make sure that you are comfortable with it. Start with a pearl tampon, small size, because it will be hard for to glide in with a big one.
You can use anything you like - pads, tampons, cup -- with your period after stopping depo provera.
Use tampons :)
No
No, tampons should only be used when you're on your period. Never use when not menstruating as this will be uncomfortable and potentially increase your risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome. There's absolutely no reason to use tampons when not on your period, having a massage makes no difference: there's no reason why you should need to use tampons while having a massage.
Yes, it's perfectly okay to use tampons with Mirena or any other IUD.It's recommended that you don't use internal menstrual products like tampons or menstrual cups for the first month with an IUD, this is because this is when it is most likely the IUD would come out so you need to be extra careful. After that first month it's safe to use most tampons and menstrual cups, but soft tampons and softcups are not recommended as they sit too high in the vagina.
You should wait at least six cycles.At first periods are often too light to use tampons anyway, but you need to wait until you know your flow pattern (how heavy your bleeding is on each day of your period) in order to have an idea of what absorbency to use - using too high an absorbency can be uncomfortable and increase risks of TSS. It is recommended that pre-teens and teens avoid tampons as they're at higher risk of TSS.Ideally you should stick with pads at first, and if you do want to use something internal then opt for safer options like menstrual cups or softcups - these are internal like tampons but safer and cleaner so no risk of TSS or infections, this also means unlike tampons they can be worn from your first period, for up to 12 hours with any flow and any time of your period, and menstrual cups don't leak like tampons.
You don't have to use tampons to swim while on your period. You can use menstrual cups and softcups for swimming, as well as safer than tampons cups can be worn with light flow which tampons can't, menstrual cups also don't leak like other options. You can also simply sit-out of swimming while you're on your period, it's up to you what you use and what you do on your period.
No, tampons and pads (also other menstrual products) are only needed on your period.Once your period is over you no longer use tampons or pads, in fact as your period comes to an end you need to stop using tampons because tampons cannot be used with light flow or spotting. It is a good idea to carry tampons and pads with you ready for when your next period starts, if you're young menstrual cycles can be irregular so your periods can start suddenly without warning.
No, you don't have to wear tampons during your period. Most women start-off using pads, also if you use tampons or sponges you have to use pads as it's not safe to use tampons or sponges overnight, with light flow or throughout your entire period. You can use menstrual cups or softcups which don't require you to use pads at all, or there are options such as menstrual release that require nothing.
You simply say to her: "mom, I've started my period, can I get some pads please?".Tampons aren't recommended at your age due to higher risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome, and nor for your first few cycles as you won't know your flow well enough to know what absorbency to use to reduce your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Use pads for now, and if you want to use internal options consider menstrual cups as these are far safer than tampons and will make your periods easier.
You shouldn't always use pads, things like this call for tampons. If you are going somewhere like a water park, use tampons, they might hurt, but its the only way.
I totally agree with the previous answer. You can also use scented tampons or pads. This will also help. If you follow all this advise, you should not have any order. Except maybe to a dog! First of all, use tampons if you can. Pads just reek!! Second stay clean. Shower alot!! Keep your tampons orpads under control. Don't wait to change them, if you do this you should not smell I doubt very much that anyone else can smell you when you have your period. DO NOT use scented tampons as they interfere with your natural vaginal flora and couyld make things worse.
