At very least you should wait around six cycles before using tampons - this is because you need to know your flow pattern well enough to know what absorbency is safe to use, too high an absorbency increases risks of Toxic shock syndrome. Tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens as even if you are responsible enough to understand the risks and follow precautions to reduce those risks, younger people are less likely to have antibodies to toxins responsible for toxic shock syndrome.
It's best to use pads at first, if you want to use internal options consider safe options like menstrual cups.

Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours.Regardless of the size or absorbency of the tampon they need to be changed regularly to reduce risks of vaginal infections like Bacterial Vaginosis and risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).If the tampon leaks sooner then change sooner, if it leaks within 1-2 hours it's safe to use the next absorbency up from what you're using. If the tampon is not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours then you need to use lower absorbency, if already using lowest absorbency then switch to pads.
