How do I insert a tampon?

I can’t insert a tampon without it hurting. Is something wrong? How do I get it right? Tampons can be tricky at first, but they shouldn’t...

I am going to send my friend the link to this article. She is having trouble inserting tampons and says she has to use only pads because they never go in.
I think wikihow.com also has a great information and I know there are blogs on our periods that go over it to. And she hinted about dryness so the vaginal lubricant may be what she needs to start using them.

I just attempted to put in a tampon. I would not go in. What did I do wrong? I put my fingers where they supposed to go and I placed the tampon in the right place. When I pushed it to try to make it go in, it refused. I feel like I failed because it wouldn't go in. Please help.

Okie so I've never used a tampon before because I was always afraid and everywhere I read they always made it seem so complicated, but this made it sound soo easy and I actually did it. I wore my first tampon yesterday, THANKZ GL, but it didn't really work i don't know why I inserted it at midnight and i went to sleep, but when I got up in the morning I was covered in blood. The tampon didn't soak it up, i don't get it. So in the morning I tried something different, I wore a pad under the tampon to see just how much blood was leaking out and the tampon isn't really doing it's job. Why's that?

Hey girl,

You are probably sleeping for longer than your tampon can hold. I would either wear pads at night or make sure you are using a tampon that is specifically for overnights.

that's pretty weird. A guy wrote a book about a teenage girl's body?

I've had my period for a couple years now, but I want to do sports and I think it's time to switch to tampons! But, I've tried a countless number of times and it just won't go in. I've probably wasted around ten of them so far. Also I've done A LOT OF RESEARCH, so I'm pretty sure I know the drill. I can't ask my mom either because she never got tampons to work for her. She tells me I should just give up trying to use tampons. :'( Someone please help me...

I just inserted a tampon for the first time. (This is a big deal.) It took a while because I was so scared, but now it's sooooo comfortable. But now I need tips on taking it out. I'm kinda nervous. And also, I did it lying down on my bed, but I want to be able to do it at school, too. So how do you take a tampon out, and what position should I be in to insert a tampon standing up?

 

Hey chica! Just tug on the string when you need to take it out.  It will feel uncomfortable, but if you pull hard and quick (like a band-aid!) you'll be fine.  And next time, try it while you are sitting down (that's how most people do it).  That way you can do it in the bathroom at school! Most tampon packs have instructions if you need more help. xoxo

I use tampons and they don't hurt at all Smile just DON'T PRACTICE INSERTING THEM WHEN I ARE NOT ON YOUR PERIOD. Because when you pull it out it hurts a lot. It feels like your pulling out a suction cup from inside you.
Oh and thanks Kate g. My cramps and headaches are better <3

Mod mod mod,
Help......... (I asked my mom and she helped me it was awkward but we got it in using lubricant :p)
I got the tampon in it kinda hurts now though idk why and now I have killer cramps to the point where I just lay down till they stop. And I have a REALLY BAD headache. What could I do to relieve the pain and why does my rampion hurt a little bit? I think I inserted it perfectly though....

Hey girl! I'm not sure why it feels awkward (it might feel better in a little while, so just wait a bit), but headaches and cramps can get better with a little bit of ibuprofen.  Ask your mom if you can have some.  If not, try drinking lots of water, putting on a heating pad, and taking a nap.  That's what always helps me! xoxo
