Why won't my mom let me use tampons?

-She says I am too young & they hurt ? or something! I love my mom but sometimes I don't get her. I am 13 - many people tell me I am not to young. what do u think????? :) to young or... ? and how do i convince her13 is a normal age for girls to start menstruating, many of them use tampons because pads leave you feeling like you're wearing a soggy diaper all day.

Just explain to her why you want to use them, and maybe even get the school nurse to give you some so you might be able to tell her you've already tried them and you don't see the problem.

It's normal to use tampons when you start if you're comfortable with them, they don't have an age requirement and they don't take your virginity if that's what she thinks.

PS they DONT hurt as long as you insert them properly, and every box comes with instructions just in case.

Good Luck.I didnt use tampons until last month. I turned 15 in March. I only use them because I'm in marching band and pads are visible uncomfortable when marching. If you aren't swimming or if you don't actually need a tampon instead of a pad then you don't need to wear 1.
Tampons can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome. It can be fatal. Listen to your mom!!! She knows what she's talking about when she tells you no!
Buy them and use them. She is not in the bathroom with you. You are a big girl, do not ask her.
