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...

CONFUSED!
ok... i know i might sound stupid for asking this, but... i need a strait up answer. i have 2 questions.
1. do you keep the tampon in???
2. it always hurts when i try to use one... i try diff positions,and i have tried when my floe is the heaviest but it still hurts, and i always take it out because that's what i think your supposed to do...
please answer!

 

Hey babe,

1. Of course! Tampons are designed to absorb your flow so it doesn't leak all over your pants. So you leave it in for the time recommended on the box, then take it out and replace it with a new one. You might need to change them sooner than recommended if you have a heavier period that day.


2. It might hurt because you're taking it out before it's had a chance to soak up any liquid in there, so it's rougher. Relax your muscles and keep trying with the smallest size tampons - it feels uncomfy sometimes at first but you'll get the hang of it!

if you do wear a pantyliner while swimming and wear shorts over yor bathing suit for the diaper issue will it still absorb the blood or will it just fail and leak all over the pool?and also is it better to wear pads r tampons in sports?




Hey girl,

I wouldn't rely on a panyliner while in the pool.  If you swim while wearing one, it will absorb water right away and then bam! it's too late to stop any blood.

As far as pads vs. tampons for sports, it's a personal preference.  But there are certain tampons designed specially for use during sports.

MOD--I had my period over a month now! And I want to start using tampons. But My aunt told me that one day she put them on and it hurted her so she took them off. But Iwant to use them but at the same time I think it might hurt. And if you are having a real heavy flow, and you insert a tampon in your vigana will it hurt? Will youu feel it? If you sit down will you feel it hurting?




Hey girl,

   If you've had your period for a really long time, it's probably best to go see a doctor. But as for the tampons, tampons are not supposed to hurt, so if it does, it means it was inserted incorrectly. If you have a heavy flow, inserting a tampon won't hurt, but you may have to change your tampon more frequently. Hope that helps! x0x0

MOD MOD i really need help. i have been having my period for like 2 years now and i haven't had the courage to use tampons until now. all of my friends do and i miss out on swimming and summer because im too afraid to use one. i've tried like three times and i just can't get them to work without them hurting. i have two older sisters but it would be too embarrassing to ask them or even my mom for help. every time i try i feel relaxed but it still hurts. i don't know what to do Frown help pleasee

Hey girly,
I'm sorry but your mom or one of your sisters is exactly who you need to go to right now. They will be able to tell you what you are doing wrong and calm your nerves. This is what they're here for and they will totally help you out.

UGH, I can not get it in right!
I can't get it all the way in.
I've tried 6 or 7 times already.
I know I'm in the right vicinity, because there's blood on the applicator, but I just don't know where to actually put it and angle it and everything. I've even watched guides, used a mirror, and tried different positions too. Nothing's working!
This is a lot harder than I expected! Tong

Okay its almost summer so that means my mom is going to put me into summer swimming classes.I've been having my period for ALMOST a year now. here are the questions I would like to ask.
1)Does it hurt to put a tampon on?
2)Is it safe to wear a pad when i'm swimming?
3)how can I ask my mom for the help?
thanks so much!
oh, and how do i know if my crush actually likes me?




Hey girlie -- no, it doesn't hurt, no, you shouldn't wear a pad when swimming (it will swell like a diaper) and simply tell her the issue (she's your mom Smile). Check out this article to find out if your crush likes you:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/09/16/advice-love-crush-dating.aspx Smile

Hey girlie! Tell your mom that you don't feel comfortable using pads and that they aren't really working for you.

Ok Im on my 2nd period! Im having a REAL heavy flow(it goes though my underwear in like 1hr)! Ive tried a tampon befor, and I even had my mom help me, but it hurt, like really bad! I was screaming! Ive thought about it some more and Ive tried it, and now I want to use one! But Im afraid it will hurt like last time... And I like dont know how to relax AT ALL! So that makes it worse... I always think possitive thought but then when Im trying to put it in there I think of bad thought... I want to put one up there because Im tired of bleeding thought my pad!

 

Hey chica. Tampons take time to get used to. You may think it hurts at first because its a different feeling. But in reality, it doesn't hurt at all. In fact, I no longer feel mine when I wear it. Try reading this article on GL about putting in a tampon: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/10/08/How-To-Use-Tampon.aspx. Hope this helps, girlie. You can do it!

I really want to start using tampons but i'm scared to. DO you have any advice on using tampons???




Hey girlie,

I got all my advice from stuff like GL too when I started using them! The best thing I can tell you is just to RELAX and expect for it to take some practice to get it right. Remember that your body will have to adjust to the feeling of using tampons and you'll have to get the hang of it, so just try not to rush and you'll be ok. If you need tips, try talking to mom or another older girl that you trust!
