Yes, Catholic nuns and women in religious life are entirely permitted to use tampons or any other standard feminine hygiene products during their menstrual cycles. There is no church doctrine, canonical law, or religious rule within any Catholic congregation that prohibits women religious from using modern menstrual products for health and convenience. Consecrated women live normal human lives with natural biological cycles, and their religious vows pertain strictly to poverty, chastity, and obedience rather than dictating personal medical choices or routine hygiene management.
