I believe it depends on the maturity of the 9 year old. If she is mature enough to handle putting them in and taking them out on her own, at regular interval's then she should be old enough to tampons.
If you are a 12 year old [cis] boy then you do not have a vagina to insert a tampon, nor do you have a uterus to menstruate, thus you cannot try tampons.
Yes, you can use a tampon whenever you have a period
There are no health concerns with early tampon use. If a tampon is comfortable, a teenaged girl can use it.
Wearing tampon may block the flow sometime. That too if you have irregular periods better go with a normal one. In case of emergency requriements you can use tampons
Your tampon should be completely saturated with blood after 4-6 hours - if the tampon is dry when removing then you need to use a lower absorbency or switch to pads. If the string is getting blood on it some may be from blood lingering in the vaginal canal before tampon insertion, but it may also be that blood is simply bypassing the tampon. Try different TYPES (not just brands) of tampon, you may also want to consider menstrual cups which don't leak.
your dumb how can you not know this question
No, of course it's not bad to stop using tampons for a year.Tampons are not healthy or hygienic so stopping use all together is a good option, in favour of safer options like menstrual pads or menstrual cups, but even just a year means a year without those risks. You can use tampons or any other menstrual product that you want, including stopping tampon use.
No, it's not bad to use a tampon in the pool for the first time - if you choose to use tampons then there'd have to be a first time. You may want to consider menstrual cups instead of tampons as they're safer so you can wear them for longer and with light flow, plus they don't leak like tampons. If you do use tampons just make sure to use correct absorbency for your flow and change before the pool.
To use a tampon you simply insert a fresh tampon into your vagina following the instructions given on the box. You have to remember to follow precautions too such as changing every 4-6 hours, no tampon use when not menstruating, always use lowest absorbency, no tampon use overnight, and alternate with pads often. As long as you're relaxed and use tampons correctly insertion is easy.
If you use a tampon three days after a colposcopy with biopsies, you could disturb the clot on the biopsy sites and they could start bleeding. Take out the tampon and just use pads for a couple of weeks.
OB is simply a brand of non-applicator tampon. You would use them the same way as you would any other conventional tampon.
