It's not recommended.
The first cycle after getting the Mirena inserted is the most likely time for the Mirena to be expelled, althouth long-term research has found options like tampons and menstrual cups don't cause expulsion, internal menstrual products mau increase risk of expulsion the first month. It's best to use pads, especially as your flow may be effected by the coil so with a different flow pattern you may risk using too high an absorbency tampon for your flow.

How soon can you use tampons after inserting Mirena?
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.

Most doctors will do it, some won't.

Tampons also have health risks such as Toxic Shock Syndrome, and tampons can expand into the cervix which can increase menstrual cramps.
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.
