Tampons can only be used during menstruation.

During menstruation you know your flow pattern to know how much blood you are losing on any given day, where as after miscarriage or abortion you have no way of knowing how heavy or light bleeding is going to be. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration which can be painful but which also give TSST-1 toxins responsible for Toxic shock syndrome (TSS), using too high an absorbency means more damage so higher risk - with no idea how much you will bleed you may use too high an absorbency.

Tampons risk vaginal infections.

Tampons prevent vaginal cleaning, effect vaginal pH, encourage bacterial growth, and contain harmful ingredients that effect vaginal flora - thus higher risk of vaginal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis. After miscarriage or abortion your cervix is more open, thus there's higher risk of vaginal infections travelling further-up into your vagina, this puts you at higher risk of serious infections and pelvic inflammatory disease.

It is important to allow the tissue/foetus/embryo/zygote/placenta/uterus lining to shed during miscarriage or abortion, keeping it inside your vagina is not healthy.

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.

Can you still use tampons after several natural child births?

Of course you can still use tampons after several natural child births. There's no reason why a person wouldn't be able to use tampons, if they still menstruate then they can still use menstrual products like tampons. After childbirth the vagina will always return to the normal size, maybe a little less vaginal tone but still enough to be able to hold a product like tampons. If someone struggles to use tampons after natural childbirth then they should talk to their doctor as something isn't right.
