Women, girls,,, how old where you when you first used tampons!?!


Question: Women, girls,,, how old where you when you first used tampons!!?
my 12 year old step daughter, says she wants to use tampons, I think its because a couple of her friends are using them but they are a year older than her, anyway I think she is still too young, I was 16 before I tried one, and it was hard to get it in the right way!.!.!.!. also I noticed that as soon as her friend leaves she goes and puts on a pad,,, so do you think she is only doing this in front of them to look " Cooler"!? How old wher you!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You have to get used to having your period before trying tampons!. As the Kardashian sisters say "when you get more comfortable with your body, you can move on to tampons!"

I tried them once when I was 16, and didn't like them, so never tried them again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

13 or 14!.!. but you should know that tampons aren't healthy for you!. They leave fiber behind and can cause you to get infections!. My obgyn recommends using tampons only on my heaviest days and then pads for the remainder!. And about her trying to look cooler, sometimes girls just want to fit in and seem normale like the other girls!. I first started using tampons because my best friend started, I think it makes you feel more mature!. Hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i started using tampons when i was 12!.
it took me a few trys to figure out how to put them in the right way at first!.
i would just make sure that she knows the right way to put them in, or else she could permentally hurt herself!.
ALSO, tell her that using tampons is not a cool thing to do!. and fi used wrong, could cause permant damage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think i was about 12
it might not be cause she wants to be cool
personally i think pads are not that comfortable and not always safe and reassuring i dont think it is that big of a deal if shes got her period shes already got some growing up shes doing why not give her a chance to make her own decision shes turning into a lady give her a little roomWww@Answer-Health@Com

i was 11 but did it behind my moms back!. i have worn them ever since i was caught when i was 15!. I think if your step daughter thinks she is ready then let her!. you may need to explain the risk for tss and other infections!. By the way i am 16!. Wasn't supose to be allowed till i was 17Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was 12 when I started my period!. I HATED the feel of pads!. I felt as if I was wearing a diaper!. I also hated the feel of tampons!.But when you are 12 years old, I guess you will do anything to fit in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'm 22 and i hate tampons!. i tried my first one during my last period because i started a week early and wasn't prepared for it and was at a relative's house waiting to see my man!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i was 11, but it fell out lol!. the first time i used it correctly was when i was 12!. i rarely use them now; only when i go swimming!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

14!.!. but i didnt start my period until i was 12 and a half!. So it might be alright for her to use them if you make sure she knows how to use them right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

16!.
i tried earlier but i felt like it was too big!.
give her O!.B!. tampons!. theyre small, yet absorbant!.
and easy to use!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i first used one when i was in middle school i just started using them every time my period comes now and im 21 but in my opinion its more comfortable being on your period when you have one on then when you dontWww@Answer-Health@Com

Never have, never will!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont use tampons dudeWww@Answer-Health@Com

i don't use tamponsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would definatly explain the risks, But i got my peirod at a very young age (10) and started using tampons when i was about 12 (maybe a little earlier)!. I never spoke to mum about it, Just found them in my sisters room and figured it out myself, It took me a good few months b4 i knew what i was doing!. It was much easier to cope with having my period so young, tampons were way easier to hide etc!. Also i was a frequent swimmer and horse rider!. I believe me using tampons made puberty a little bit less stressful! lol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was 14!. I didn't do it to look cool or anything it was a matter of comfort actually!. I was sick of the irritation and the diaper like feeling of the pads!. It's good that's she's talking to you about it, that means you will be able to explain the proper use of tampons and risks associated with them!. Since summer is coming up she'll probably be wanting to go swimming or to the beach and so she will probably wanting a tampon even more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
