No, tampons are very bad for vaginal health.
As well as preventing your vagina from staying clean they give bacteria a place to multiply, cause vaginal splitting, leave fibres within your body, contain chemicals that affect vaginal PH, and contain chemicals that can get into your body causing general health problems.
All of this contributes to an increased risk of vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis as well as the fatal illness toxic shock syndrome.
Tampons are best avoided at all times, but worn when not on your period it increases risk of vaginal splitting and puts you at unnecessary risk, tampons in general put you at unnecessary risk.
You can however use pads or menstrual cups, among some other menstrual options, but if you do not have your period there is no reason to use menstrual products.

no, it even says on the box that you are only to use tampons during your period. you could get toxic shock syndrome. read the pamphlet that comes in the box of tampons or even the side of the box, it'll tell you how to safely use tampons.

Why would you want to use a tampon if you are not on your period? The answer is most definately no. It can cause toxic shock syndrome.

No, you're not supposed to used tampons if you are not having your period! Read the box, it will tell you more about them!

If you're asking that question then maybe you shouldnt even be using tampons. Why would you want to put one in if you're not on your period. That's just gross!

i dont think thats a very good idea.... you could get toxic shock syndrome. even when girls get their period on the box it says to alternate between tampons and pads

I would not advise it.. if you have not had a period yet you would probably be to dry. then it would hurt when disposing of it. trust . big mistake.
