Answers:
If you are ready to try tampons, it is not too early!. I got my period at 13 and wore tampons the first time!. I hate pads and still do!. I say give them a try to see if you like them!. Don't give up if you don't, I didn't wear my right the first few times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It all depends on what you feel more comfortable with, I would suggest you use tampons at least once before you make an executive decision, but it all depends on what you're doing too, I suppose!. If you're playing sports or being active, I would suggest tampons, if not, then you might want to go with pads, especially if your flow is light, but it's all up to you, and another suggestion, if by chance your flow ever becomes heavy, you might want to use a panty-liner as well as a tampon just in case, especially during a situation where you're unable to change!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I started wearing tampons when I was 18, but I know a lot of girls who wore tampons in junior high who were still virgins!. In my opinion, pads are unreliable, noticeable, often leak, and are uncomfortable!. I have never had an accident with tampons and you can't feel them at all!. However, if you still decide you're not ready to use tampons, get Always ultra thin with wings!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that since you play indoor soccer Tampons would do you justice, but I have heard story of girls forgetting they have a tampon stuck up there!. Also pads come sleeker now so you wouldn't have that bulge, if you bend over no one would see or even know!. Plus with pads all you have 2 do is pull them off the undies-so that fast instead of having to reach up and in like your doing surgery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i used tampons my the second day i ever had my period!. just use a light tampon i recommend tampax pearl or a plastic applicator, their easy to use!. don't use cardboard i hate those, it's really hard to use your first time!. don't be afraid to ask your mom either!. i know i hate pads too they feel like a diaper! don't worry tons of my friends used a tampon their first day it's not a big deal at all and it's good to learn early!.
hope i helpedWww@Answer-Health@Com

it's never too early to start wearing tampons, but it might take you a few times to get it in!. they make these handy lite tampons, or junior tampons, which are for when you're first using them or when your flow is light!. i would try them if i were you, and decide weather you're more comfortable in pads or in tampons!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know what your saying, I cant stand pads!. !.!.it feels like a diaper!.
It makes me feel like blehh :/

I say tampons, furshure!. I use tampax pearl!.!.!.Try that!. Get a box with a mix of light/ normal flow!. (purple & yellow)!.

But if you play sports you can try the playtex sports kind!.!.!.I think tampons are alot cleaner too!.

okay yeah tampons would be way better!.!.!.but pads arent bad if you buy the right kind!.!.!.!.get stayfree ones!.!.!.they tend to be better!.!.!.and regardless of what anyone says you really only have to wear them at night!.!.!.!.

oh and may i suggest that as backup, you should wear those light days pads when wearing a tampon!.!.!.but you wont have to worry about that until you figure out what kind of flow you have!.!.!.

well most girls like tampons, but I never have!. I've used pads all my life, it just depends on what you like!. If you are active then tampons might be best for you!. My flow has always been way too heavy anyway, I bleed right through a tampon!. So try them and see if they work for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can wear a tampon!. If you've never worn them, buy the slim version, just change them frequently!. Tampons are the only way to go for sports!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
