i use them and i am fine. i am 13 and i switched to just using platex plastic applicator tampons during the day and at night super long always pads. to me tampons are easier and more comfortable. u don't feel leaks and you can go on a little longer for about like 4 hours before changing into a new one. if u r scared that it is going to hurt use slimfits by Platex that is also a plastic applicator. i believe that plastic applicators are easier to insert and much more comfortable..give the tampon thing a try and see if you like it.

playtex tampons r easy 2 use. I have a 16 year old that uses them and she has no problems. remember 2 change every few hours a tampon should not be left for more than 4 hours. do not flush them use bags n though them out,its bad 4 the toilet. if u have problems with the instruction ask ur obgyn or go 2 planned parent hood if ur mother will not help. it can be a little funny having mom in the bathroom showing u.my daughter n I had a very funny afternoon her first time using them. she kept putting them in wrong and I had 2 help her her first 2 or 3 times in getting the direction right.u will know if u have it in wrong it is very uncomfortable. n no they do not go in deep enough 2 make u not a virgin if u r.

Teens can use Tampax/tampons....get the slender fit. Read the instructions on the box, talk with your mom about it. Be sure to change it often. There is a risk of toxic shock syndrome associated with tampon use, so follow instructions carefully.

I don't think it's not safe. However, with any woman who uses tampons have the possibility to get an infection. I forget what it's called, but if you look inside the box of tampons, it's there on the little paper.

tampons are a good thing. it helps you when you want to swm and suff. im 14 and use tampons. the only thing is make sure you change them about every 3-4 hours otherwise you could get tss(toxic shoch syndrome). which is very dangerouse and can kill you. but that is very rare if you are useing your tampons right. have a happy period.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo!

Using tampons are fine, but make sure you have the right one for your flow. Tampons can cause TSS (toxic shock syndrome). All boxes of tampons come with information on it. So if you can then do.

go with the thinnest, change them often, or you might get toxic shock syndrome which is a deadly disease. It is a tube of absorbant stuff that gets put inside your vagina and fills with blood, it can be uncomfortable or tear your hymen. Only use it after you have learned how to use pads

Just be sure to get the right size and you should be fine. I started using them at 11 and I got the slim ones.....just be careful. And if they are too uncomfortable just use Maxi Pads.
