If you have been okayed to have sex, and take baths then you are ok to use tampons, just make sure and change them regularly.

The docs told me I could use tampons six weeks postpartum. I had a depo shot and didn't stop bleeding for three months, so I was really eager to know.

Yes you can use them. No problem what so ever. That is what I used after I had my daughter.
