Yes, you can use tampons with your IUD.

It's recommended that you avoid using internal menstrual products like tampons or menstrual cups for the first cycle after IUD insertion - this is because your IUD is more likely to be expelled in that first month, so best to avoid internal options that may increase likelihood of this happening. Although long-term tampon use is fine, research has confirmed that there is no increased risk of expulsion while using tampons or menstrual cups after that first month.
