My daughter is 12 years old. She weighs about 95 lbs (45 kilos). She got her first period last December. I´m a mother (41) who was raised by Catholic parents with the idea that tampons are not to be used until you were sexually active. Aside from the religious morals I would like to transmit to my daughter, I want to know, if physically, it is harmful the use of tampons so early. Will it alter her sexual experience in the future? Let´s say I´m a modern Catholic and feel that we need to take advantage of new knowledge in other to have more quality of life. Speaking of quality of life, who wants to miss all the birthday parties at the beach with friends this summer?? Thank you in advance for your advice.
