It is a common question whether a girl might lose virginity by using tampons. Of course, there are many other questions confusing young girls. That is why each girl in puberty should know more about her period, ovulation, menstrual blood and tampons.
Yes, you can. Once you have had toxic shock syndrome, you are more likely to get it again than someone who has never had it. If a doctor told you that you have had that problem, or if you believe you might have had the disease, do not use tampons until you check with your doctor.
How old should you be before using tampon?
If you have started having periods, you can use tampons. Tampons are inserted inside the vagina to absorb the menstrual blood before it leaves the body. On the other hand, since it is a little scary to use a tampon for the first time, many young teens prefer to use pads or pantiliners until they are older and more comfortable with their bodies.
