no, there is not any age that that is to young or old to use tampons. Tampons are for any girl and every girl with a period. Just remember it is not safe to leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours and you should not sleep in a tampon. Make sure you use it correctly, if you feel pain after you put it in your vagina you didn't do it right. Make sure you use the correct obsorbancie level or TSS may be a risk.

A ten year old is less likely to understand enough about vaginal anatomy and tampon risks to be able to make an educated choice about whether to use tampons, particularly I would question why they would chose tampons over safer options like sanitary pads or menstrual cups. A ten year old also may not be responsible enough to use tampons correctly, there are a lot of precautions to follow which may include changing tampons at awkward times they may not be comfortable with.
Younger women are at significantly higher risk of contracting Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) - younger women are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies, and likely have more delicate vaginal tissues more prone to tearing that will allow TSST-1 toxins to enter the bloodstream.
