Is it to soon to use tampons?!

I used tampons right when I started my period...No your not to young. Tampons are a WHOLE lot cleaner and easier to use. And you don't have to worry about them leaking--unless you have a heavy flow and are using the wrong absorbency--


What you need to know...


You just started and have no clue...

Stock up on pads, tampons, and midol.


Here's some stuff you may want to know:


For Cramps:

~etc.


#1 thing you need:

It's recommended by professionals that you wait at least one period before you use them, even though they do prefer if your cycle were to even out before you use them. However, there are plenty of girls who use tampons their first period, and do fine!Health Question & Answer
