There are probably reasons that she doesn't want you to use them. Toxic Shock Syndrome is porbably one of them. Respectfully request to use them on a trial basis. Tell her that you will get a job to pay for them if it's amoney issue. Although i can't see that being the problem. Typically they are the same price as pads.
Here's what you can do as well. Ask her why she doesn't want you to use them and listen to her answer. Think about what she has said and if it still doesn't make any sense to her, then ask her to use them anyway. COmmunication is the best way to answer any questions that you have, But you have to listen to her answers, just as she should listen to yours as well. good luck

No age has nothing to do wit whether or not you can use a tampon most of the time parents don't want there kids to use tampons, cuz they believe it will mess up thing in your body and it supposedly makes you not a virgin.

That one's between you and your mom. Physically you are probably old enough, but you mom may be concerned about a condition called toxic shock syndrome which is exclusively attributed to tampons and it does kill, although I have not heard much about it in the past few years. Ask her about that and see if that's her reasoning. Then have her ask your doctor.

No age is really too young to use a tampon. As long as you know how to use them you're fine.

No. My pediatrician for my daughter and my gynecologist both said that tampons are safe to use no matter your age. My daughter is 11 and just started her period and I let her use them. I was worried at first BUT since both doctors said it was not an issue I am okay with it.

I started to use a tampon as soon as I started my period. My mother also did not want me using a tampon but I tried the pad thang and they are just so uncomfortable! I just told my mother this is what I prefer to wear and I told her why. I first had to listen to her long lecture and what not but she did finally understand.

im 15 and i just starting using them but not really because my mom wouldn't let me. one day i was at the store and i was like mom im buying tampons and she was like ok. you are not too young. most girls use them. you should try gathering facts about them and especially if she is worried about TSS.

I don't think fifteen is too young. If you're 10 or 11, then that's too young.

there is no age to tell you wen you can use a tampon. its when ever your ready to use one jus like sex lol. tell your mom to suck your toe. do what you want to do and if you feel your ready to then yea go for it. its less of a hassle believe me.
