What is the difference between a period pad and a tampon?
A period pad is an absorbent, fabric-like pad that sticks to the crotch of your underwear and catches your period flow as it comes out.

When can I use a tampon for my first period?
While you can use a tampon in your first period, it’s probably best to wait 3 or 4 cycles if you can.

If you use a tampon for your first few periods, use the smallest size and check to see when it’s ready to come out at hours 4, 6 and 8.
