but I had a girl that I knew in Junior High School who wore tampons at 13 or 14 and probably didn't know how often to change them. She went home one day from school, laid down on her bed and died because of toxic shock syndrome. I don't think tampons are safe for teenagers to use!

Besides the discomfort!
