As a women are you allowed to use tampons? Where do you get these items during that time of the month?

Yes, you are allowed to use tampons and other feminine hygiene products. For inmates that have money in their commissary account, there are several choices and brands available for purchase (the prices are similar to that of a grocery or drug store), If the inmate does not have extra money on their books, most of the facilities provide a standard product that is suitable.
