Hi mrinalini,
Tampons are used instead of pads but thease needs proper care and knowladge to insert inside te vagina, it is always better to try with smaller size tampons while trying first time, it is preferable to insert during moderate bleeding as it will help in gliding inside, using of k-y gel may be helpfull, most important it has to be changed very 4-6 hours otherwise it may lead to toxic shock syndrome, hymen usually wont be injured in 98% of teens but in 2% where hymen has small hole will face difficulty in insertion. consult gynecologist for further details.
Take care
