OK, I know I'm coming into this discussion late, but something else needs to be considered here too. It depends on the age of the child, that is true, but it also depends on the personal hygiene habits. Tampons can't be left in the body (or shouldn't be) for over 4-5 hours. The super tampons are usually the ones that cause Toxic Shock, because most of the women and young teens that use them think that they can get by with more time and less hassle. During the time that I was a foster parent, we had three teens at different times who weren't the best at hygiene and I personally would cringe thinking of one of them in particular using tampons (thank goodness she didn't)... just something to consider.
