Can anyone use tampons

Answer 1

If you can, then ask your mom about buying them, or using them, she will be more understanding. If she says no, or your dad says no, explain why you want to use them. Something like, # The pads are not long enough and I'm bleeding over the edge. # I find pads uncomfortable. # I want to be able to go swimming in my period, and I don't want to leave blood in the pool. or if they think you're not old enough, explain that it's nothing to do with how old you are, it's to do with you being happy and comfortable, and if they still say no, definitely say, "Mom! You can't lose your virginity to a tampon!" in a loud voice*, like she's being silly, because, trust me you can't, and sometimes old people believe stuff that's not true, or try and keep you as their little girl by telling you things that aren't true. * I really do not recommend doing this in a public place, unless you're trying to get grounded. Talk to your mom at home.

Answer 2

Come flat out and say it. Your mom will understand how your feeling. She was in the same situation, it is normal for girl's to get their periods so it's nothing to be ashamed of. Your mom will see that you are brave if you just come right out and say it instead of going around the "question"

Answer 3

No, not quite anyone.

You would have to be a person who menstruates - a female of reproductive age with a uterus who experiences menstrual cycles, or someone who experiences withdrawal bleeds due to hormonal Birth Control. Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens and teens due to higher risks of Toxic shock syndrome, but some pre-teens and teens do still choose to use tampons.

Someone who has had Toxic Shock Syndrome or is at particularly high risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome cannot use tampons - the risk is simply too high, and once you've had Toxic Shock Syndrome the risk of getting it again is incredibly high. Some people with weak or compromised immune systems cannot use tampons due to higher risk of vaginal infections and Toxic Shock Syndrome.

People with issues such as imperforate hymens may not be able to use tampons as the hymen covers too much of the vaginal canal or is too tough to stretch to allow tampon use, also people with Vaginismus may not be able to use tampons as their vaginal muscles tense-up making it difficult or impossible to insert anything vaginally such as tampons.

Answer 4

Simply say: 'Can I use tampons. Please?' and go from there.

You'd have to make sure your guardians know you're mature enough to understand the risks of tampon use and responsible enough to use them correctly to reduce those risks. Discuss with them why you want to use tampons over other options like pads alone or menstrual cups. There are some myths about tampon use but they are easily debunked, just make sure you're educated.

Answer 5

Not for the same purpose as females.
