yea its fine.
just make sure you read the directions, change your tampon frequently, and use either the slenders(sometimes called juniors or light) or regular. since you are still growing some may be too big for you to use.

no!!!!! it's bad!!!omg you 12 years old..what the hell is tampon?

totally.
i'm your age and i wear them all the time in my swimming class. they're better than pads because in pads your sitting in your own..well...blood.

so, it's fine.

Yep thats the whole point...you have your period and thats what there designed for. duh

i dont think its a bad thing... hell i use tampons all the time & im only 2 years older. i dont think it matters what ur age is...

if u have ur period then its fine to use a tampon, just make sure ur hands are clean, and only put in a tampon when u have ur period otherwise u cold risk getting toxic shock syndrome, so basically if u have ur period, ur fine

yes that is perfectly fine. Ever since I got my first period I have used tampons... they are amazing compared to pads.... they are super easy to put in too!

yes it is ok. they are much much much better than pads. so go for it.

Yes thats perfectly fine for your age. I recommend Playtex gentle glide.

well it depends...its not bad but its not good either i put my first 1 in this past summer and im 15 but thats just to go swimming so just use them when u have to and no when u want to

theres nothing wrong with that,. just talk to ur mom to know how to put it in and all. also beware of leaving in tampons to long.you can get toxic shock syndrome.

All teens can safely use many brands of sanitary napkins and tampons, which are readily available at most drug stores and grocery stores.
Tampons are absorbable pieces of cotton that are inserted into the vagina to soak up the menstrual flow. Since they are available in different shapes and sizes, your daughter may be more comfortable starting with a brand that is specially designed for young girls. Tampons should also be changed every four hours to lessen the chance of leaking and also for infection. Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare, but dangerous bacterial infection that has been associated with tampons left in the vagina for longer than eight to 12 hours. As long as tampons are changed frequently, the risk of TSS is very low.

The decision whether to use pads or tampons should be your daughter's choice. Many girls prefer tampons because they are not as messy as pads. Tampons also make it easier for girls to go swimming or to wear tight-fitting clothes such as bathing suits or leotards. Some girls prefer pads because they are not comfortable putting a tampon into their vagina.

Your daughter should carry a small bag in her purse or backpack with pads and/or tampons. Many girls wear panty liners around the time they expect to have their period. Let your daughter know that she can always go to the school nurse if she happens to get her period and does not have any supplies with her. Most school nurses are prepared for this common emergency.

NO!!!! They suggest that you wait until you're 17. It's really not safe.

yes its perfectly fine .
