Tampon Age?
If you use/used tampons, how long after you started your period did you start using them and how old were you?
My cousin is almost 13 and has had her period for a year and a half but my aunt won't let her use tampons! This isn't like a religious/moral issue, but my aunt just thinks my cousin's body is not "ready" for that? The reason I'm asking is cause my cousin was complaining about using pads when having a heavy flow and how her mom wouldn't let her try tampons.

But really, have your aunt talk to your cousin about using them. Let her know about TSS (don't scare her, of course!), how to use them the right way, all that jazz. Girls, even that young, will most likely remember stuff that pertains to their periods because it's kind of a big deal to them. If your aunt still doesn't feel ready to let her daughter use tampons (which is fine, she's her daughter) then that's okay - at least her daughter will understand why! :)
