im not sure how you would use toilet paper as a tampon. i guess roll it  
Viewed 6380 times
up? ive never tried it-- but i would assume it is safe (but again, im not  
a doctor).  
 
if i were you, i would get a job (or babysit if you're too young to get a  
job) & buy the tamptons yourself. there is no reason why you shouldn't be  
able to wear them. i know some moms are paranoid & think if their daughter  
wears a tampton, she is not a virgin anymore- but that is not the case.  
even if you break ur hymen (aka: pop ur cherry)-- you are a virgin until  
you have sexual intercourse. in fact, it is common for the hymen to break  
before one has sex-- during sports/aactivities- like horseback riding.  
 
if you can not get a job- do you have a best friend that could give you  
some every now & then-- esp. if you want to swim?  
 
bottom line- don't feel guilty about wearing a tampon. women have their  
periods & women wear tampons. no big deal.

No. Tampons are much more absorbant. The paper towel will

quickly become saturated and then blood will get everywhere, and it will

be harder to get out. Buy your own tampons? As your grandmother.

correctly? From my experience with paper towels, when they are wet, they

tend to ''break'' apart a little bit - do you want to end up with  
''loose'' little paper towel tracks in the you know what?  
 
Suggestion: Go buy them yourself. I don't know how old you are, but there  
is no ''age limit'' in buying them. And if you're a kid, just going to  
school - I am sure you can get $7 or so from ur mom. As kids, we all had  
ways of convincing our parents to give us money for stupid things.  
 
Best of luck. :)

You may get an infection because they are not sanitary. Also,

Absolutely do not flush them. Paper towels are made not to break down in

water (hence using them as a towel.) Think about wetting toilet paper &  
rubbing something - it instantly breaks down, which is what it does in the  
sewer. Paper towels would not do this.  
 
Why can not you just go get tampons?
