It's recommended that pre-teens and teens particularly do not use tampons as they are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies so as such will be at far greater risk of TSS. Ideally women of any age should use either pads or cups - menstrual cups and softcups are internal like tampons but safer and more hygienic, this also makes them more convenient and they're more reliable so a better option than tampons.

∙ 13y agoTampons can be used at any age from the start of menstruation. The girl should feel comfortable enough with her own body to insert the tampon and be responsible enough to remember to change it regularly to avoid risk of infection.

∙ 9y agoThere's no reason why a girl should use tampons - it's personal preference.
It's recommended that women use pads at first, and if they wish to use internal options safer products such as menstrual cups or softcups should be considered instead of tampons. It's recommended that tampons are avoided in pre-teens or teens as risks of Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) are higher. At very least you should wait a few months until you know your flow pattern to know what absorbency tampon you can use safely.

∙ 8y agoThere's nothing to say that anyone ever has to use tampons, there are plenty of other options. Tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens given higher risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
It's important if you use tampons you understand risks and can follow precautions to reduce risks.

∙ 8y agoTampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens - ideally you should start with pads, and if you want to use internal options go for menstrual cups over tampons. Younger women are at higher risk of TSS, the risk is higher again if you use tampons before you've had your period long enough to know flow pattern so you know what absorbency to use safely. You'd also have to be mature enough to understand the risks, the precautions, and why those precautions exist.

Do all girls have to wear tampons?
No, not all girls have to wear tampons and in fact there's little reason to use tampons when there are other options like pads or menstrual cups available. Girls often use tampons because they prefer them to pads and may not know that options like cups exist and can be much better than tampons. Some people cannot use menstrual cups so will use tampons when they need internal menstrual products.
How old you should be to use tampons?
There is no age limit on tampons, but tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens.Tampons pose multiple health risks so a woman has to be mature enough to understand those risks and responsible enough to follow precautions, but even then younger women have more delicate vaginal tissues and lower immunity to the TSST-1 toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome so are at much greater risk. At very least women should wait six cycles before using tampons so that they know their flow pattern well enough to know what absorbency is safe to use when.
Should you use Jr Tampons?
There's nothing to say that you should use tampons full-stop, you have other options you can use instead. Jr tampons are light absorbency tampons, only named jr tampons in the US to try to encourage young women to use tampons earlier in order for tampon companies to increase product loyalty early. If you do use tampons you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow, if that means using jr tampons then those are the ones that you will use.

What is the average age for a girl to wear a tampon?
It's impossible to determine the average age a girl would start to use tampons.It is important to acknowledge that teens and pre-teens are best avoiding tampons because they are at far higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome - due to more delicate vaginal tissues, being less likely to have antibodies to TSST-1 toxins, and less likely to follow precautions to reduce risks. Some people never use tampons, some people use tampons from their first periods, but I doubt anyone is keeping track of the average age when someone starts to use tampons.
