When should I start using a tampon?!


Question: When should I start using a tampon?
I am 13 & i've had my period for about 8 months now loll. & I'm about to get my period this week, I have 4 softball games & weight lifting. I heard they are better for sports?

Answers:

Yes! they are def. better in sports! I usually wear a pad ha for the first two days of it then I wear a tampon the rest of the time. Just make sure you are keeping up with how long you have it in. But they are def. wayyyyy more better then using a pad during a game trust me! :)



Of course you can use tampons! Just make sure to properly insert the tampon and I would try wearing one around the house before your games. Don't be afraid to ask your mom how to insert the tampon she's been there before. If you need more help email me at nicolemonthly@yahoo.com

ive had my period since i was 9. im 21 now. never used a tampon for my periods. i use kotex pads. im usually a light cycle so stickin sumthign up hurts because i dont have alot of stuff to absorb.

so if u are a heavy bleeder than go for it. its up to you if u want to use it or not. make sure u have the right kind and put it in properly.



OMG yes! they are so nice. the first time it might be awkward cuz you might not put it in far enough and if you try and take it out to soon sometimes it hurts, and when you use a tampon you do get itchy sometimes just cuz your more sensitive (just so that you know) i recommend Playtex Sport. Good luck!



Yeah they're better for sports

But if you want to you can just wear tampons for sports and pads normally but it's up to you, some women find tampons uncomfortable and stick to pads but others feel better with tampons but it's your choice :)



Use them when your period has become regular. Using them too soon may cause discomfort.

Personal experiences
