You can, however it is best to alternate with pads as often as possible.

Tampons encourage bacterial growth while effecting vaginal pH and preventing the vagina from cleaning-out bacteria - tampons also dry-out vaginal tissues causing damage. Although you're removing the bulk of the bacteria when you remove the tampon itself the fact is that some will remain in the vagina, particularly within fibres left behind by the tampon, so inserting another tampon is preventing the vagina from cleaning-out this bacteria and the stray fibres. By wearing a pad after a tampon you allow vaginal cleaning, the vaginal pH can re-adjust, and it gives the vagina a chance to heal.

You can use tampons back to back, however it is best to alternate with pads as often as possible to allow your vagina a chance to clean itself of bacteria, toxins and tampon fibres that have accumulated from tampon use. Inserting one tampon after another traps bacteria and fibres within the vagina, so allowing more bacteria to build-up, which can thus increase risk of vaginal infections and Toxic shock syndrome (TSS).

It's not recommended to wear tampons back-to-back, you should alternate with pads.
Tampons allow bacterial growth and prevent the vagina from cleaning out bacteria, thus alternating with pads allow the vagina a chance to clean-out that bacteria whereas inserting another tampon will keep bacteria in the vagina. Tampons also tear vaginal walls, inserting a dry tampon causes friction against already torn vaginal walls so can increase damage - this can be uncomfortable and increases TSS risks by allowing toxins produced by certain bacteria easier access into your bloodstream.

Yes it is okay, but it is recommended to alternate with pads as often as possible.

Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours, it's recommended to use pads afterwards to allow your vagina a chance to clean-out bacteria that has accumulated, re-adjust pH, and allow the vaginal tissues time to heal. You don't have to alternate with pads after every use but it is a good idea to if you can, obviously you understand that using one tampon after another isn't ideal.
