Yes, some boys do use tampons.
Some boys are born with a uterus and a vagina so will menstruate just like girls - cis boys, in other words boys who aren't born with a uterus and a vagina but have a penis instead, don't typically use tampons. Some boys may experiment with using tampons anally, but that's not healthy and nor is it particularly normal - if a boy wants to insert something anally they should use sex toys!
Tampons can also be used for bloody noses, they are the perfect size to put into the nostril to stop blood during a nose bleed - some boys will keep tampons if they play a lot of contact sports or suffer a lot of nose bleeds.
No, boys do not use tampons. Tampons are used by girls.

Some boys are born with a vagina and a uterus thus they will menstruate just like a girl would and so may wish to use tampons. Some boys will also use tampons to stop nosebleeds as they are the perfect size and shape to put into their nostrils, boys who are active in sports often use this trick.
For the record another person has suggested boys would only use tampons if they have hormones and sexual reassignment surgery - they seem to be confused. If a boy has had sexual reassignment surgery they'd be going from female to male, thus would not menstruate any more.

∙ 7y agoYes, a boy can know that a girl is experiencing menstruation if she decides to tell him.
Obviously there are some other circumstances where he may know, such as if sexually active with the girl so seeing menstruation or if the girl leaks in front of him, or maybe if he notices she has pads/cups/tampons.

∙ 13y agoNo. Unless the boy in question has been taking hormones for years, and has had sexual reassignment surgery, there isn't any need for a guy to wear a tampon.
