If you have started menstruating, it is never too early to try tampons. It can be uncomfortable at first, but many females prefer tampons over pads once they get used to them.

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.
