no tampon on first period?

i'm just asking this out of curiosity (I've had my period for about 8 years so this isn't about me lol).

I would just like to know why people on here say girls shouldn't use a tampon on their first period.

While I totally get that a tampon can be complicated for a young girl (especially when she is just adjusting to having a period), there really isn't any reason why the girl shouldn't be able to wear one on her first period...

just curious lol =)

Misty...my doctor never said that tampons were better than pads...
in fact, I've been wearing pretty much only pads for about 8 years and never had problems...

I have no idea, even doctors say that tampons are better, at least every one I have been to says that. My daughter hasn't started yet ( real soon though), but when she does she will be using tampons from the start.
