It's not advisable to use tampons at such a young age.
Younger women are at greater risk of Toxic shock syndrome because they are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies and they have more delicate vaginal tissues which are more easily damaged by tampon use (this allows TSST-1 toxins into the bloodstream). Often younger women don't know enough about the risks or their other options to be able to make an educated choice about whether to use tampons, and may not be responsible enough to follow precautions.
If you really want to use tampons that's up to you, but make sure to follow precautions:
- Change tampons every 4-6 hours.
- Alternate with pads as often as possible.
- Always use the lowest absorbency for your flow.
- Avoid rayon tampons e.g. Tampax, Playtex, Kotex.
- Opt for cotton tampons e.g. Emerita, Veeda, Maxim.
- Do not use tampons when not menstruating.
- Do not use tampons for spotting or light flow.
- Do not use tampons overnight while sleeping.
- Do not use tampons with a vaginal infection.
- Wash hands before use.
- Store in a clean dry place.
- Learn about TSS and TSS symptoms.
- Learn about risks such as dioxin.
- Consider safer options like menstrual cups.

If you are turned on while on your period do you bleed?
Yes, but make sure you're wearing tampons and pads.
How do you take out tampons?
Just pull the string until it slides out. Each type of tampon comes with instructions that are important to read. The tampons have strings that are attached, and once the tampon is inserted properly, the strings stay where they can be reached with your fingers and used to gently pull out the used tampon. Read the instructions on the type you are using to be sure you are following all important instructions. If the strings are not where you can reach them, the tampon may have turned sideways which can happen with strenuous exercise, or may have lost the attachment to the string. In those situations, you may have to see a gynecological doctor to have it removed safely.
Can you ride a horse if your on your period?
Not exactly. If you're in the habit of wearing pads instead of tampons and have to work with stallions, yes this is true. But if you're wearing tampons and/or working with geldings, no this is not true. With stallions, if you're wearing pads, it's possible they may try to court and mount you from getting "turned on" from the pheromones they smell from the pads you're wearing. So to prevent this, just switch to tampons.

Do you get pleasure when inserting a tampon?
Yes you can have sexual buttass monkeys within that time you travel through time it will suck in all of the matter inside the universe, and if you reach the end, the ending may cut a rip between the side and hurt you. What im trying to say is that its different for people, some people enjoy it, some don't, but if you use it to masturbate then be careful cuz it will dry you up crazy inside and the edges might cut you.
