sorry, im not sure what to put his under...
my period is coming up real soon, and every single one of my friends have told me that tampons work wonders. (by the way i have only had my period once before and im 13) but my mom thinks im not ready, and i feel ready, i have tried one of my mom's tampons, there regular, and i got it in like half way, and i asked her for the beginners teen easy slide ones, and she claims that i am to young to start it, and 2 of my best friends already started putting tampons in by there 3rd period. can someone one give me advice on if i am to young? or jus keep practicing with my moms? ill rate

Well, let me share my experience with you. My mom wouldnt let me use tampons until I had my period for a year. She finally let me when i was 13 (my bday party was at a lake... lol) before that i had tryed to use an adult tampon at my friend's house... and i didnt like it at all. The teen ones are much more comfortable. i've noticed that the 1st few periods aren't as i dunno "periodish" as later ones. I would wait for maybe 6 months to approach you mom again. be very mature and tell her that you would like to be allowed to use tampons. let her know that you know how to insert them (if she asks you how... BOOKS! lol) and you know the risks involved. You will never wear them more than 6 hours, because after 8 hours you run the risk of developing toxic shock syndrome. See what other info you can find on health sites and just let her know how educated you are about it. If you dont think this will convince your mom... call your doctor and ask him/her what an appropriate age to use tampons is, and what info they can give you about it. it may be a little embarssing... but doctors are used to that kind of thing!! i hope i helped you, and if you need anything else, or more sugggestions just let me know my sending me a question, or AIMing me @ squeakyshoes567 <3

ive always wore tampons even when i first started...they are way better than pads...i really dont know why your mom thinks your not ready but i think you are...youre not too young theres no certain age you have to be to be able to wear tampons...if i was you i would just tell her you dont like wearing pads and that all of your friends wear tampons and u want to too...if ur mom still says your too young..then just get some off of your friends... =]
good luck ...rate me

If you think that you are ready to use them then ask your mom to buy some and tell her that you think that you are old enough to. I mean they have them for teens and you are one, so just talk to her and try to convince her to let you use them.
Hope I helped!

you are not too young..i mean shit you do get your period so yea you obviously arent too young to use the things that keep that under control ya kno wut im sayin hunnie? ive used tampons the entire time ive had my period(well over a year)...tell your mom that summer is coming up and you dont want to have to sit back and watch when your friends go swimming...tampons make swimming possible for girls in the summer! talk to your mom again about it and if that doesnt work just go to the store and buy some yourself...and dont be scared or anything to buy them..its not a big deal you're a growing young woman..be proud babe...and if you realli arent comfortable buying your own tampons then talk to your friends about getting you some or one of your friends's moms...im sure they would be willing to either buy you some or talk to your mom about it...best of luck babe..:)

Well, this is your decision, are you truly comfortable and is there any pain or anything?I personaly think 13 is a pretty good age to start using tampons.My neighbor is only 12 and uses tampons!if you are truly ready, tell your mom, she will understand!!

i would advise you to not use your mom's. if you truly feel your mom is wrong, get some of the teen ones with your own money. she can't stop you and you can practice with them so you can have an easier time with it.

I think your mom is probably more concerned about toxic shock syndrome. Tampons can only stay in a certain number of hours before this happens. So you shouldn't sleep in them for example. And your period tends to be irregular for the first few times. You are supposed to use the right tampon for the right level of flow.
Using a tampon has nothing to do with having sex other than it would break your hymen. Which isn't a big deal. This is probably why it's hard to use your mom's tampon.

At the end of the day it is up to you whether you feel you are ready yet or not. Just because your friends wear one doesn't mean you have to. Tampons are easier because it means you can do things like go swimming. You don't have to worry so much but at the end of the day it is up to you and how you feel. Your mum is only saying this because she was probably older when she started using them. Keep on practising if you want until you feel comfortable. Hope I have helped a little

My mom says the same thing 'your to young'. But I asked my doctor and she said its ok but if you get a tampon that's to big it'll rip your tissue. My mom she forgot to change hers and she had to go to the hospital to get it taken out. So, I suggest unless you go swimming or something to use pad's. oh, some advice if your bleeding a lot get thick ones or it'll leak but if its normal than use a long thin one that way you won't feel like your wearing a diaper. Tell me how it goes ok
FOREVER,

Since you are young, pads would be more appropreate but ask your mom for some tampoons you can practice with and once you're really comfortable with it, just move on.

hey your mom's regulars could potetially harm you so if you cant convince your mom that you are "ready" then get some from your friends. if you want, just buy them at the store and hide them. its not a big deal. try asking your mom and explain that summer is comming up, she should understand. <3

Well i use them. Not all the time and i had my peroid when i was 12 when i first used one. You really shouldnt use them till you have sex. Cause you have what they call a cherry in you. When you have sex the dick breaks the cherry and makes it easy to put one in. Its up to you though i feel it dont matter what age lots of people who have just started or havnt had sex use them.
Love,

I would def try to get a hold of some of the teen made tampons.. as far as being too young.. umm.. I've NEVER heard that..
With summer coming up, your going to want tampons, you can't swim with a pad.. as it's not only unsanitary, looking like you have a diaper between your legs is not sexy..
I'd try talking to your mother again, and point out with summer coming up you can't go in the pool with a pad on.. ;)
