Answer 2

Young girls can use tampons during menstruation, but it's not recommended.

The reasons why tampons aren't recommended to younger women;

1. Tampons pose multiple health risks, one such risk is Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) which is an illness caused when certain bacteria multiply and start producing TSST-1 toxins, these toxins enter the body and if a person lacks immunity they overwhelm the immune system which can lead to major organ failure. Younger women are far less likely to have developed antibodies to TSST-1 toxins so are at higher risk.
2. Tampons pose multiple health risks; TSS, vaginal infections, increased cramps, increased bleeding, irritation or allergic reaction, and dioxin exposure - younger women are less likely to understand these risks, know about safer options, or follow precautions to reduce these risks. Younger women are thus far more likely to use tampons irresponsibly, and so put themselves at higher risk.
3. Many brands of tampon are bleached resulting in the byproduct dioxin, this toxin is linked to illnesses such as endometriosis and cancer. There is no safe level of dioxin and the toxin can be more easily absorbed into the body via vaginal tissues - the toxin then accumulates over time, leading to higher risk. The younger a woman uses these type of tampon the higher the long-term risk.

It's best for young women to stick with pads to begin with and then consider using safer options internal options such as menstrual cups or softcups which not only carry no health risks but are also more convenient and reliable than tampons.

Answer 3

There is no specific age for using tampons, but they aren't recommended for pre-teens or teens.

Younger women are at significantly higher risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) because their vaginal tissues are more delicate so more likely to tear (allowing TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS access to the bloodstream), and less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies than older women.

Younger women also may not be mature enough to understand the risks of tampon use to make a choice to use tampons over other options such as pads or menstrual cups, and may not be responsible enough to follow precautions in order to reduce their risks of TSS and infections.

At very least young women should wait around six cycles before using tampons, this is so that the women know their flow pattern well enough to know what absorbency to use safely.

Answer 4

There's no reason why you should use tampons for your period.

There are lots of options for dealing with your periods: pads, tampons, menstrual cups, softcups, free bleeding, menstrual release, etc. Whether you use tampons or not is up to you but there is no reason to ever use tampons if you don't want to, many women never use tampons.

Its best to look at all your options and decide what works best for you.

Answer 5

There is absolutely nothing saying that you 'should' use tampons at this age or at all. In fact tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or young teens given higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome. A person can use tampons but they can also use pads or menstrual cups instead.
