Can a female spend her entire life without using a tampon (just pads)

I was just wondering if a girl could spend her entire life using no tampons and just pads? Does every girl have to use a tampon at least once or twice or can you just use a pad until your period years are over? Will any harm come to a girl if she doesn’t use tampons and only pads until her period years are over? If so what’s the harm?
