No, tampons are best avoided and especially so by teens.

It's recommended that pre-teens and teens don't use tampons - the reason is that the younger you are the less likely it is that you have antibodies to TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS so are at higher risk. Younger women are also often less capable of making an educated decision about high-risk items like tampons and may not be responsible enough to use tampons correctly.



It is best to use pads at first, and if a girl wants to use something internal she should consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups - these pose no health risks like TSS or infections, also more convenient and reliable.

How do you use a tamopn?

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.


Will using a tampon after sex to avoid the wet feeling stop pregnancy?

No. The sperm which will get you pregnant is too far inside of you to be effected by a tampon. It will, however, stop the wet feeling. It is not a good idea to use a tampon for anything except a period as it will dry you out too much and may cause toxic shock syndrome. If you are wet use a pantie pad.
