There is also a major problem associated with tampon use, called Toxic Shock Syndrome. It's the reason women are told to change their tampon every 4-8 hours. Leaving tampons in too long can increase your chances of getting this reaction, and using a tampon when there is no blood is a big no no.
This will increase the chances of fibres getting stuck to your vaginal walls, which again increases your chance of getting TSS.
The best thing to do is read about tampons, and then wait till you've got your period. Get light absorbency ones, made for teens, and only use them when you have a fairly steady flow of blood.
Teza answered Tuesday August 9 2005, 1:27 am: Yeah but just try it once or twice so you can get used to the feeling. Dont always do it unless you have your period. Normanlly you're supposed to take your tampon or pad and change it every 4 hours.
Teza answered Tuesday August 9 2005, 1:03 am: Yeah you can. It wont hurt to try. But when you are on period you are supposed to change both pads and tampons every 4 hours. But try it just once or twice so you get used to them. And yeah if its try it might hurt a bit when you take it out. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
