I Have a Teenage Daughter

Ok moms: my daughter just got her first period (lucky me) and she wants use tampons and I said no. What age did you let her start using tampons. I use tampons, but my mom made me wait till I was 15. Should I give in?

yeah so there was never an age I just used them. I think I was fourteen. They helped a lot and were a lot better for me. It doesn't have to be viewed as a sexual or too grown up thing unless you choose to view it that way. You know how those older generations were. They would have a stroke if they saw their daughters walk out without makeup lol

@DeluxedEdition That is very true. I had an excellent mom and I'm sure she knew best but it was the sixties LOL. They make some really good products for all kinds of girls now and it is a new day.☀️
I am glad you mentioned this.

What’s wrong with using tampons when you get your first period?

I started using tampons at 13. took a bit of getting used to and was very uncomfortable at first but soon became OK.

@pampersmom11 fair enough, I've never understood those, my daughter doesn't seem to have any interest either, neither did her Mom, thanks!

@pampersmom11 it seems that, yes, but I've known a few women that agree!

They should be preferred unless the experiences extremely painful periods. Pads are messy and overflow so easily.

@MoMartins My Mom said 15 too, so of course that's what I told my girls, but they both started later than 13 so they didn't have too long to wait. I like the idea of your daughter being in charge of her own body, but I get why 13 makes you nervous. Since you already said it, I would have her try pads first, then maybe be open to negotiating tampons earlier than 15 if she is uncomfortable.

@EmilyEdith I think that's what I'm gonna do. I want her to be very much in charge of her body

They make ALL different size tampons, with specially sized ones for very young girls.

My daughter got hers middle of last year; may I ask why you said no, other than your Mom made you wait? I have a reason to ask, if it's too much here, pm is ok,
