How Do You Buy Tampons For Teens?
Teens often prefer to use tampons during menstruation. Tampons are easy to carry in a purse or backpack and are discreet, allowing the teen to keep her period private. She can wear anything–even a bathing suit–and can participate comfortably in sports or dance. Browse online at name brand websites such as tampax.com or obtampons.com, and go to the drug store to find and compare the different types and brands of tampons. Look for brands such as Tampax, o.b. and Playtex, which tend to advertise to a younger audience. Choose an applicator vs. no applicator. Often teens with little experience using tampons prefer an applicator to ease insertion, while others prefer the non-applicator type because they are smaller and more environmentally friendly since they have no extra pieces to throw away. Pick a cardboard or plastic applicator if you decide on a tampon with applicator. Plastic applicators may be easier to insert and are less likely to bend and break in a purse or backpack. Cardboard
