Pros:-
Size: One of the biggest advantages the tampon has over pads and other menstrual products is its size. Tampons are small and portable. You can easily slip them into your pocket or a purse, and carry them around regularly in case your period ever sneaks up on you.
Swimming: Tampons are one of the few menstrual hygiene products you can swim with. "One advantage tampons have over pads is that you can go swimming, actively engage in sports and strenuous activities without really worrying about a pad moving around," says Kecia Gaither, MD, a double board-certified OB/GYN and director of perinatal services at NYC Health.
Invisibility: Another advantage tampons have over pads is that they are invisible.
Pads are bulky and can be seen if you wear tight clothing. Tampons, on the other hand, can't be seen and when inserted properly can barely be felt.

Cons:-
The risk of toxic shock syndrome is higher with tampons. Getting toxic shock syndrome through tampon usage is rare, however.
Some tips to remember for safe use of tampons include:
Always follow the directions on the label even if you've used tampons before.
Wash your hands before and after using a tampon.
Use the lowest absorbency tampon possible. For example, if you're going for 6 hours without needing to change your tampon, you may need to switch to a tampon for a lighter flow.
