I just got back from my overnight-camp yesterday, so i couldnt ask anyone for some advice.

It was 104°F out, and i had the opprotunity to go swimming, but i started my first period two days before that. So I asked the nurse there if i could & she said yes and told me to use a tampon. First she made me look at the directions, which said the different positions to put "it" in. I put it in the way it told me to. I told my best friend there about my first period, & i when i told her i was gonna go swimming she caught on that i was going to use a tampon. She told me not to because, as she said, "WHAT THE F.CK?! YOURE SUPPOSSED TO USE A TAMPON WHEN YOUVE HAD YOUR PERIOD FOR OVER A YEAR!", and so on. she basicly, freaked.

she also said that since i used one that now i wont get my period anymore & im gonna get a huge infection in my vag.


advice please?
I'm only 11, too.
 
rofll. wow you can wear a tampon and that wont stop your period. some girls never use a pad and start out on a tampon. your best friend must be really dumb.
 
they're really hard to use
i've had my period since i was in 6th grade, now i'm 16 and i still can't do it
if you can, more power to you, i'm jealous
just make sure to change them and stuff- you'll be fine
 
don't worry, i don't think you have to wait a year after your first period to use a tampon. trust me- you'll still get you period and you won't have an infection. from now on you should use pads, its probably uncomfortable to use a tampon since you're only 11. since your body is entering puberty/just starting your period, you should get you period every month. but its going to differ since you just started. try talking to a parent or doctor.
welcome to womanhood, you'll probably hate it. lol =)
 
ok ur friends is sooo wrong,
you can use them at any point in ur period.
wow.
she has noo idea what shes talking about.
 
well your really suppose to use it after a while
but yeah unfortently you gonna get again and again and again
but the first year its really irregular
 
oh my god! your friend is an idiot! seriously don't listen to her. nothing is gonna go wrong with you. you are supposed to use a tampon as soon as you start your period and want to go swimming. it does exactly the same as just using one of those pads. there's nothing to worry about. tell your friend that she obviously has no idea what she's talking about. i started my period not long ago and i used one and im fine. so that proves it really. dont have an argument with your friend too much though:) she might have thought that was what happened. good luck xx
 
You can use a tampon on your first period. I didn't until my 2nd period, but pretty much the same. Tampons are for periods. If you have a period, you can use a tampon. You'll get our period again, but since you just started, it will probably be irregular. You will not get an infection. Your friend is very wrong. You should inform her so that when she gets hers she can go swimming and stuff. Tampons are very safe. If they weren't, don't you think the nurse would have said something? You are fine. Tell your friend to calm down.
 
Your friend doesn't know what she is talking about, it is okay to use a tampon on your first period it just may be a little uncomfortable. I would suggest using a pad unless you have to go swimming in which case a tampon is perfectly fine.
 
That is definitely not true! You can use a tampon that is completely fine. No damage will be done to you if you insert it correctly. However, you should change it every 4 hours because it will get full and you will start leaking.


Good Luck♥♥!
P.S I'm 11 too.
