Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens - even if mature enough to understand risks and follow precautions, you're less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and will have more delicate vaginal tissues so you'd be at higher risk of Toxic shock syndrome. You will be physically able to use tampons, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea, especially not for your first few cycles with irregular flow.
Look into menstrual cups - small brands like MeLuna or Ladycup - cups are internal like tampons but safe so no risks of TSS or infections, they can even reduce cramps compared to tampons. Unlike tampons cups can be worn from your first period, for up to 12 hours, with any flow, and no need to alternate with pads. Menstrual cups are best for swimming because they can be worn before your period or with light flow (no sitting out when your period is light as you'd have to with tampons), they don't absorb water, nothing shows externally, and menstrual cups don't leak like tampons.
What else can I help you with?
Can you still get your period if you were a tampon before you have it?
Yes, a period is a result of hormones and wearing or not wearing a tampon has nothing to do with it. Never ever wear a tampon without having a period. Read the warnings on the tampon box because it tells you not to do that.
I haven't had any TSS symptoms but realized I had a tampon inside me for eleven days. Should I be worried?
Yes. Unless you are on a period you shouldn't be using a tampon and if you are you need to change it several times a day. The bacteria is what causes the TSS and it can kill you. I hope you have stopped doing this.
How do you put on and remove a tampon if you never got your period?
I hope you are not wearing a tampon when not on a period. This is unhealthy and if you are just starting your period you should not be using a tampon until you are older. The tampon box gives written as well as a diagram of how to put in a tampon. Follow the directions and read the warnings. This is very important.
