You should only insert tampons during menstruation (or a withdrawal bleed).

You can physically insert a tampon when not menstruating, but there's no need to do so and it is potentially dangerous to wear tampons when not menstruating. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting that can allow TSST-1 toxins responsible for Toxic shock syndrome into the bloodstream, without blood tampons will have more of a drying effect so increase the risk.
