Yes. The hymen already has a hole in it to allow mentrual blood to pass through. You can definitely use a tampon. If you are new to them, I suggest you buy a "Slimfits" or "teen" type, as they come with very good instructions and FAQs about using them for the first time.

Yes, the hymen can stretch to let the tampon in.
First, buy a brand which has a plastic applicator, not a cardboard one. That makes things much easier. My favourite brand personally is Tampax compax.
Try to find ones which are designed for lighter days when you're just starting out. Yes, you'll probably have to change it more often, but they're very small so easiest to learn with.
When you're going to put one in, you have to relax. Get into a position where it will be easiest - most people suggest sitting on the toilet with your legs wide apart, or putting one foot on the edge of the bath. Personally, I find the easiest way is to crouch down with my knees wide apart.
Take the tampon in your right hand (assuming you're right handed). Spread the labia with your left hand and gently insert the tampon into the vagina. Push it in gently until the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin. That's the most important part - it has to be far enough in or it will be uncomfortable. If you're having trouble getting it in, try pushing slightly to one side or the other, or slightly rotating the tampon as you push it in. If you find it a bit dry going in, you could try using a bit of vaseline on the tip of the tampon.
Once the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin, use your left hand to push the applicator in all the way, as far as it goes - again, if you feel a bit of resistance try pushing slightly to one side or the other, then withdraw the applicator and the tampon should be in place.
If the tampon is in the right place, you won't be able to feel it inside you at all. It's difficult to get the hang of at first, but just keep trying, I promise you it's worth it!!! No more messy pads, no more gushing of blood when you sneeze or move position.......tampons are definitely the way to go!!! Good luck!

your hymen is a skinny piece of tissue that covers the hollow on your vagina, attempt to place something in there it in many cases breaks your hymen, it is going to in all possibility sting slightly and bleed slightly. each and every each and every now and then its much less annoying to interrupt your hymen making use of your hands

I hear that some people says it hurts. IT DOES NOT! If it hurts you have an infection or you a inserting it wrong!

yeah.. any female who is menstruating can use a tampon and it won't hurt any more than one who doesn't have one...
