May be because she doesn't want you to get TSS or maybe she thinks your "too young" which by the way is an excuse. Maybe because she thinks you might break your hymen. Or maybe she's just stubborn like my mom. I've had my period for 3 years now and my mom says "I'm too young" which like I said is an excuse. when I first go my period I was nine and the doctor said I wasn't too young and that I could use them. My mom still won't let me use them and its aggrivated the hell out of me

Your mothers job is to care for your health until you're mature and responsible enough to care for it for yourself - your mother may not think you're at this point yet. Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens due to higher risk of TSS, so if you do use tampons you have to be responsible enough to research the health risks and make sure you follow precautions to reduce risks.
Some mothers don't want their children using tampons because they are worried about their children growing-up and associate vaginal penetration with becoming sexual, which can make some people uneasy - especially in religious households or when parents lack sex education. Sometimes it can simply be because tampons are one of the most expensive options, so would cost extra.

∙ 7y agoThere are several reasons why a persons parents may not want them to use tampons.
- They may hold false ideas about tampons, e.g. myth that tampons tear hymens or 'take' virginity.
- They may think negatively about their children using something that is inserted vaginally.
- They may not believe their child is mature enough to understand the risks or follow precautions.
- They may believe that their childrens choice is due to their friends, rather than informed choice.
- They may be concerned about safety, e.g. young people are at higher risk of Toxic shock syndrome.
- Tampons are the most expensive menstrual option, they may not be able to afford to buy tampons.

What should I say to mom to let her know I'm ready for tampons?
You simply say to your mom: "Mom, I'd like to try tampons" and go from there. Tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens due to higher risk of TSS, you also have to be mature enough to follow precautions, thus your mom may want to talk to you about that. If your mom doesn't think that you're mature enough for tampons yet then accept that and use pads or cups instead.
How do you ask your mom to buy you ubykotex tampons?
You say to your mom: 'Mom, can you buy my X tampons please? Thank you'.You can also simply buy your own tampons - use your own money or ask your mom for the money to go to the store yourself to buy what you need. You can also go to the store with your mom to help her with the shopping and just pop the tampons that you want into the basket as you go around.
What is the best place too hide a tampon from your mom?
There's absolutely no reason to hide tampons from your mom, just let her see the tampons.Tampons are not something to be ashamed of so not something to hide from anyone. If she said you couldn't use tampons then simply don't use tampons, hiding the fact you're using tampons from her won't work as she'll realise you're using fewer pads and see used tampons in the bin. Also your mom needs to know you're using tampons as if you contract TSS she needs to know early to get you help.
How do you ask your mom for ubykotex tampons?
You say something along the lines of the following:'Mom, can you please get me X brand tampons? Thank you!'Do remember that rayon tampons like Kotex pose much greater health risks than cotton tampons, so your mom may not agree to buy you these - that's not a bad thing, you can always use cotton tampons or use safer products like menstrual cups or softcups. You can also just try buying these yourself or put them in the basket when you're next at the store with your mom.
Help I am going to camp and we are doing a lot of swimming. How do I get my mom to let me use tampons?
Firstly, you simply ask her if you can use tampons - 'Mom, can I use tampons when I go to camp?' - from there you will know if she has any objections and you will be able to address those issues.If you're younger tampons aren't recommended due to higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome, so make sure you understand the risk of TSS and other tampon-associated health risks as well as how to reduce those risks - show your mom you understand the risks and that you're responsible enough to use tampons correctly. Perhaps just suggesting to her that you will only use them when you go swimming, thus not wearing as often so reduce the health risks of tampon use.If your mom is concerned about cost then suggest you earn tampons by doing chores or bye them yourself with your pocket money, again suggest you only use them when swimming to reduce use.You may also want to consider talking to her about menstrual cups which are safer and cheaper than tampons, also unlike tampons they can be worn even with light flow (so no skipping swimming on light days), before your period so you're prepared, overnight, no need to alternate with pads, and can be worn for up to 12 hours. Cups would be a better option to make your period easier to manage.
My mom's friend scared her out of using tampons now my mom is telling me that i should not use them anymore because her friend says apparently they cause cancer which is NOT TRUE what do i do now?
Explain to your mum that this is simply not true. Show her internet sites and evidence that that this is false information. The only risk involved with tampons is TSS which is an extremely rare, but serious conditon. Failing this, you could email Tampax asking them if it is true, and then show your mother the reply letter. Hope this helps.
When is it safe to use tampons after a d and c?
You can use tampons a week after a D&C. Until then, no sex or tampons.
Your mum wants you to use a tampon because their more hygienic but their so hard to use PROPERLY and you dont find them comfortable any advice?
Tampons are not more hygienic - in fact the opposite is true. Tampons create the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive within the vagina, by keeping flow in contact with the vagina they effect vaginal pH which allows more harmful bacteria to thrive, and tampons also prevent the vagina from cleaning itself. Thus why tampons account for 75% of all Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) cases and commonly increase vaginal infections. Pads or menstrual cups are far more hygienic than tampons. No one can force a woman to use tampons, if you are not comfortable using tampons then simply refuse to do so - explain to your mom that you are not ready to use tampons or other internal sanitary products just yet, also inform your mom that tampons are not more hygienic, plus tampons cost more than pads especially as you would also have to buy pads too.
How can you talk to your mom about using a tampon?
You simply talk to her about using tampons as you would talk to her about anything else. You do respect your moms choice if she is not okay with you using tampons, given health risks of tampon use (which are increased in pre-teens and teens) she has to be the one to decide if you're responsible enough to use tampons safely and understand the risks.
How do you convince your mom to let me use tampons ok she has been on her period for 3 yrs she is 12 yrs old her mom is stubborn at 9 her doctor said she could but her mom says shes still too young p?
You don't convince her mother, until the girl is mature enough to make her own choices and know how to reduce risks of tampon use the mother has to make these decisions for her. Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or teens as even if they are mature enough to understand all the risks and responsible enough to follow precautions, they are still more likely to contract TSS due to lower immunity to TSST-1 toxins and more delicate vaginal tissue. There's no need to use tampons, women can use options like pads or menstrual cups, the former being better than tampons in many ways including being a lot safer and more convenient.
I have my period and i want to switch from pads to tampons I have some and don't what to ask my mom how to use them How should i use a tampon without an applicator?
If you don't know how to use tampons it's best that you don't - learn more about tampon use, tampon risks, and the precautions you need to follow to reduce your risks. You also don't go from pads to tampons, when you use tampons you still have to use pads: before your period, on light days, overnight while sleeping, if you have a vaginal infections, and it's best to alternate with pads. Consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups, but if still determined to use tampons then just talk to your mom and she'll help you learn more - it's your responsibility to learn correct tampon use.
