Im 13 and i am on my period, my mother told me that i can get tampons my next period which is now.........?

well when u get ur tampons theres gonna be a pice of paper and its gonna tell u how to use it. what kina of tampons if ur flow is hevy then use hevy flow tampons and if its moderate then u can use light tampons it depends on ur flow. and if u just started ur period i wouldnt use tampons untill u hav 2 like when u play sports or swim because the first time they kindof hurt espesily if u get the hevy flow
