While some girls choose to use pads as they get used to having their period, others are keen to try tampons, and the good news is that there’s no rule book. If you feel like it, you can start using tampons straight away. When you’re just starting out, mini tampons might be a more comfortable option. Once you’ve got those figured out, you can try different absorbencies according to how heavy your flow is. Here’s a quick summary of the kinds of tampons available:
- Mini tampons are perfect for light flow in the first days or end days of your period.
- Regular tampons are suitable for medium flow
- Super tampons are great for heavy flow, especially in the middle of your period
To check out which absorbency is best for you, look at the back of any tampon box.
Most tampons will feature a twist-to-open plastic wrapper which makes them super easy to open quickly….just remember to dispose of the plastic wrapper in a regular bin.
