By average, girls get their first period or menstrual cycle during their 12th or 13th year . Some get it earlier, while there are ones who will be a little late (at least before they turn 16). By this age, using a tampon could be uncomfortable since their pelvis and vagina are still growing... but this doesn't mean they can't use tampons yet. If they're comfortable with it, then it's okay.
It's important to consider if the girl is comfortable (both physical and emotional) with tampons, if not, they can use pads for now. When using tampons too, it's better if there's an adult she can talk to so someone could explain and give her tips especially since this would be the first time of use. It may be difficult to insert a tampon if her muscles are tense due to nervousness. It's advisable as well to use slim tampons and those that have applicator to guide on the procedure. Also, for faster application, use a tampon on a day with heavier flow.

Some girls, however, are unable to use tampons until they have had sex. This is because for some girls it is too painful to put in a tampon when nothing has widened that space yet. Always make sure you read the directions to or have the girl read the directions that come with the tampons. The first time you should kind of help them or show them how to put it in. Make sure you go over all of the dangers and benefits of tampons.
