Typically, you'll start your periods about two years after your breasts start growing and about a year after getting a white vaginal discharge. The average girl will get her first period around 12 years old, but it varies from person to person.

15 is a good age though tampons are very hard when your just starting your period and if she doesn't have a regular cycle yet i wouldn't advice it at all.

Posted. under Ask Us. Once a girl begins to menstruate (have periods), she can use tampons. There’s no specific age since the time when a girl gets her first period isn’t the same for everyone. Tampons come in different sizes and absorbencies (slender to super absorbent). It’s best to use the slender or regular absorbency when first using tampons.

Most girls start their periods when they're about 12, but they can start as early as age 8, so it's important to talk to girls from an early age to make sure they're prepared before the big day.

Best Answer: Any age is safe for a girl to wear a tampon as long as her menstraul cycle has started. Just be sure to tell her how important it is that she stays sanitary because of the risk of TSS and other complications (infections etc.) that can occur from not changing them on a regular basis.

Parents often ask me when is the right age to talk to girls about starting periods, and I recommend that it should be an ongoing process rather than a formal sit-down talk.

This is really up to you. Both tampons and towels or pads are safe and suitable for girls who have just started their periods. You'll probably want to use pads for your very first period, though, as tampons can take a bit more getting used to.

17. 21. It's perfectly safe for a 13 year old to wear a tampon if she knows how to put it in properly and that she knows that she must change it every 3-4 hours and to use the lowest tampon for her cycle. Personally i did not start wearing tampons till about a year ago.

Report Abuse. I started my period at age 13, and wore pads for MAYBE the first three periods I had. I have used tampons ever since. I was a virgin until I was 25, and for awhile as a teen, had to use supers. Virginity has nothing to do with ability to use a tampon.
