do tampons hurt when you use them or like the first time?im 14 and use pads because i am scared of them. people say you can die from them or get tss or something .. but is 14 to young for tampons?

nonono its fine! my mom made me use tampons right when i got it at 12..it was annoying though..because it took me 3 months to figure out how to use them.

but seirously, it sems liekt hey would hurt but they don't at all.

you just have to be careful if you are worried about diseases. tss happens when you leave it in for to long (over 8 hours--so don't sleep with them in) and the cotton is up there and gets all this bacteria buildup which is what causes that. you won't get tss if you stay careful =]

oh gosh...I wear them wehn I sleep..tha'ts what I liek them msot for cause if I wear pads the blood seeps out cause of my awkard positions

errrr, I tihnk you can wear them at nigth unless you usually sleep fro like 12 hours or something I mean I hardly even sleep for more than 8 hours so it's fine...and actually my mom sleeps in alot cause she a stay at home mom and she wears them at night, I don't think you should get too worried...

i use pads i dont think ill ever use a tampons with so many risks.. and seems too complicated to change.

soo many risks?!?!? first of all there is onl one risk: TSS. and it is very, very, very, very unlikely. You are probably more likely to get in like 20 car accidents in your life than get tss that is a lame excuse.

too complecated to change?!?!? give ma break. first of all, once you get the hang of them (could take a couple months) than they are certianly not complcated to change AND they are far easier to fit in your purse or what not (casue htey are so small), infact, often I just stick them in my pocket and no one notices, altouhg that only works if you have fairly large pockets on your patns.

further more, TAMPNS ROCK!!!!! if you are a girl ,and ahave a period, you should try tampons, they are a blessing from god..and tha'ts coming from an athiest

Everyone should at least try tampons, they are the best thign in the intire world
