Can tampon damage your vagina walls? by scratching your skin
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: At your age, there are enough hormones to maintain the health of the vaginal lining and it would not be damaged by tampons. If you are having problems with using tampons, it would be prudent to see your gynecologist.
