Question: Can my 9 year old sister use tampons!?!? Also, if so what brand and what absorbency!?
She is in her 4th period and has a moderate flow!. She wants 2 use tampons because she thinks pads r filthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Women under 13 are recommended that they wait until they are!. Using a tampon too early could effect the proper growth of her lady parts such as their hymen!. But I agree with her!. Pads are uncomfortable and gross, but remember there are a ton of brands out there to try!.

I'm not going to tell you to let her use tampons but if I were to pick a brand for some that young I would say Tampax is always a good brand!. I suggest the tampax pearl for her!.!.!.the applicator maybe an easier thing for her to use!.

If you are her sister (if not get a women to explain it) make sure you show her how to use it, not literally but figuratively!.!.!. ei hand gestures, using a stuffed animal with some stuffing taken out of it!. I know it's weird but she will need some advice first!.

Make sure you explain how often she needs to change it (every 2 hours for heavy flow or every 4 hours for regular to light flow) educate her about Toxic Shock Syndrome (it's in the directions pamphlet in the box)!. Explain that if she feels any pain in her pelvis that she is pushing it up to far!. If there is other pain while putting one in it could be that her body just isn't ready for it yet!.

The best way is too buy the the extra light ones for her to practice with, back it up with a lighter pad until she gets that hang of it!. Welcome to womanhood!

Firstly pads aren't filthy and many people use them all their lives without ever using tampons!. As she is such a young child, I believe she should be started with pads and panty liners rather than inserting anything into her vagina at the moment!. They are perfectly adequate for the job and for her age!. If she changes them frequently she will be fine!. They have come a long way from when I was 9!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she really shouldn't!. she probably isn't responsible to change her tampon every 3-4 hours, and while "filthy" pads will just make a mess if you leave them on for too long, tampons can kill you!. we don't want that now, do we!?

I don't think it's a good idea because of her age, she should stay with pads until she is a bit older, tell her to change them more often, it's better than getting a tampon stuck inside of herWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well tampons take a bit of getting used to but I think the most comfy are Tampax applicators!.

You don't have to touch the things going into you and it's so much more comfy!!!

Regular is good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get her some of those mini tampons that they make nowadays!.
Also, I think she has a friend who uses tampons and that is why she suddenly thinks pads are filthy!.
