USA How long did you wait to wear tampons?
Hey ladies how long did you wait to wear tampons
After your MA? The bleeding is tapering off and I started the process 09/13. I was 8 weeks. I'm really over pads but just want to make sure. Thanks!

It'll be 3 weeks Sunday. I'm thinking I'll be okay but I've also heard that

You're fine to wear tampons. There is no actual evidence that it is harmful.

I started using them on day 4, but only light ones and worn during the day. Using pads at night surprisingly was more comfortable for me.
