Please advise if it's normal for a 17 year old to use super plus tampons?

Normal: Probably Normal. If the periods are exceptionally heavy and go exceptionally long, it would be worth getting checked out.

Some risk of TSS: There is always some risk of Toxic Shock with the super absorbant tampons, Minimize risk by changing tampons frequently. Be aware of symptoms of toxic shock while you are wearing one. They are fever, chills, muscle aches, sometimes rash, dizziness.
