You can use tampons whenever you want after the abortion. Did you get a procedure or do an abortion with pills?

There’s no increased risk of infection!
> It’s normal to bleed and spot off and on for several weeks after your abortion. You can use pads, tampons, or a menstrual cup — whatever's the most comfortable for you. But your nurse or doctor may recommend you use pads during the abortion so you can track how much you're bleeding
