How old were you...?

Question

when you first used a tampon? and how long was this after your first period

Answer 1

I think I was a 11 years old when I got my period. But HONESTLY, I never tried tampons until I was 19. Used 'em ever since, and they are wonders! Helps especially if your periods are heavy!

Answer 2

i got my period when i was 10 and i used a tampon about 3 months after.

Answer 3

I started having my period when i was 10 and I couldn't use tampons because i had problems with inserting them. So i was 14 when i finally got used to them so i could take part of gym swimming classes in high school. (but i had 3 years there were i didn't have a period from health problems.)

Answer 4

I didn't start using tampons until I was about 16 which was 5 years after my first period.

I'm now in my 30s and once I started using tampons, I've never been able to go back to pads. Much prefer tampons..

Answer 5

I was about 16; I started my period when I was about 10.

Answer 6

At least 15 and I got my period at 12. My mother wouldn't buy them as she thought they were disgusting (she was very old fashioned and religious, perhaps she thought that they would make me lose my virginity!!!!). I had to wait until I had an after school job and buy them myself. I think she was very unkind because it meant I was different from all the other kids. When my daughter got her period she had the chioce of what she used.
