tampon help omg

Georgia

so im going on vacation in a few days and my period is due around the time I leave. i keep asking my mom if I can use tampons (im 13) but she keeps saying that I’m too young, even though i know girls younger than me who wear them... i have really heavy periods and I heard that tampons can make them a lot easier to deal with so i really want to try but I canttt 😩
