I would suggest you to continue using tampons at present Only thing you should be precautious of is hygeine and replace tampons every 4 hours like the sanitary napkins Menstrual cup is a good option but would b difficult for u to use as you are unmarried but in menstrual cup same principle applies of hygeine and replacement after cleaning it properly
