Yes, an 11 year old can use tampons although it's not recommended.

Younger women are at higher risk of Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) due to the fact they often have more delicate vaginal tissues and lower immunity to TSST-1 toxins responsible for TSS. It's important for women to understand their options and risks of products like tampons to make an informed choice, also that they are responsible enough to use tampons correctly to reduce health risks.


It's best to use pads or if you want to use internal options try menstrual cups - cups are internal like tampons but far safer, which also makes them more convenient - a smaller menstrual cup brand like Ladycup or MeLuna is perfect for younger women.

If your tampon keeps slipping should you try pads?

A tampon should not be slipping out - if used correctly the tampon should sit above the narroest part of the vaginal canal, both this and vaginal muscle tone will keep the tampon in place - if tampons are slipping out you need to discuss this with your doctor. If tampons dont work for you then you should consider using pads or other similar external options like period underwear, belts or interlabial pads, you may also still be able to use internal options like sponges, soft tampons, softcups or menstrual cups.

When you are on your period does it feel like you have peed on yourself?

Not really. There are time if not using a tampon that if you cough or laugh or stand from sitting it can feel like its streaming out but you will be having a heavy period for this to happen, so in a way, like a peeing feeling but not from the area where pee comes from. If you go through this and dont want to use a pad a tampon will help in not feeling this gushing feeling.

Why does your period hurt worse?

I personally dont think a period hurts, i think its more annoying then ever! just going to the restroom so much to change a pad or tampon is the hardest. Espically when you our out and it is out of the way, that is the worst about my period . But some girls do have feelings about there period. But mine do not hurt. It also might be because this is only my second period. I hope this helps (:
