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...

hi! so i've had my period for about a year now and finally got a tampon in!! i think i didn't put it in all the way tho...i can feel it, but its not at all painfull. its most noticable sitting down..i practiced today since im swimming tomorrow so should i just push it a little further? oh and if my flow is really lite tomorro (end of period) should i put a tampon anyway? thanks!!




Hey girl,

I know using a tampon for the first time can always be a bit weird, but what you're noticing is totally normal.  It's definitely okay to feel it the first few times you use one-- BUT it should NOT hurt.  If you need any more tampon help, be sure to check this out:  http://www.girlslife.com/category/pads-vs-tampons.aspx.

Best of luck!

Mod! Tomorrow I am going 3 hours away from my house and family to camp for two weeks, and i'm afraid i'm going to get my period. I haven't ever had one. I don't know if I'm just nervous or what.




Hey girl,

If you're nervous you might get your period while you're at camp, just bring along some pads or tampons to use in case you get it.

I wanna know what ur hymen is... Ihear that there are rumors that tampons break it but I dont know wht it is...




I'm no doctor, but a hymen is basically a stretchy piece of skin that is "up there."  There is no real importance of it.  Those rumors you are hearing about tampons breaking your hymen may be true.  If your hymen rips, it's no big deal...you probably won't even notice! It can rip during volleyball, riding a bike, or maybe even putting in a tampon.

Every time I put a tampon in I can kinda feel it sometimes and I bleed through after like an hour.... I need to know what Im doing wrong!!! Ive been using tampons 2 yrs but the same thing keeps happening!! I even tried ultra absorbancy bcuz my period is heavy..... please help!!!




If you can feel your tampon, it doesn't mean you are putting it in wrong, but it may mean that you aren't putting it in all the way.  I know that sounds weird, but if you feel it when you sit down especially, it probably is because it's not in all the way.  Don't worry, it's not going to fall out or anything- you just won't feel comfortable.  So next time try putting it in farther than usual, and see if that makes a difference! If not, I chat with your doctor about it.  

Also, you most likely need to change your tampon after an hour bc of your flow, not because you are putting it in wrong.  Just keep an eye out when you have your period to avoid any leaks!

Think about putting in a tampon as part of life.
such as: riding your bike, shopping
its not hard at all to put one in.
just don't think about it as a scary thing: cuz hey its just a part of life

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD ok i'm on the swim team and i JUST started my period. i'm scared to put in tampons. my friends say they hurt like crazy. plus i'm going to a swim camp the week of my flow.

 

Hey girl, I'm sorry to hear about the period troubles!  It is a bummer that you can't use pads to swim.  The good news is, with practice, tampons get less scary (and if you do it right, they really shouldn't hurt!).  If you are interested in giving them a try, check out this article - http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/06/23/007-Period-Advice.aspx, and give yourself time to practice before camp.  If that doesn't seem right for you, you might want to talk to your coach, or one of your pals on swim team, on how to deal during camp.  xoxo

Hey mod! Is it bad if I don't leave a tampon in long enough? the diagram said to keep it in 4-8 hours. I'm only keeping it in with a max of 4 hours. Is that bad?




You're fine! The reason the diagram recommends 4-8 hours, is because you shouldn't leave a tampon in any longer than 8 hours.  So, technically you could change your tampon every 20 minutes if you needed to- it's not a problem! But just don't forget about the tampon, and leave it in there for over than 8 hours!

hey! i'm going to camp when i'm supposed to be having my period. i have tried a tampon once or twice before. i only actually got it in once. it hurt alot!! then after that i kept on trying but i could not find the hole. i tried using a mirror but i still couldnt. i really want to be able to swim while im at camp. please help?!!!




Hey girl, when it comes to tampons, it's practice makes perfect. Follow the instructions on the package and for even more help, just ask your mom for a tutorial before you leave. It may be a bit embarrassing, but it's way important you insert tampons correctly if you use them.

so i know tampons arent supposed to hurt and i know you get this question like every day but im seriously freaking out. We r going on vacation soon and it may be when im on my period...we going to hawaii so obvisly im going to the beach a lot. Do they hurt? at all? do they hurt coming out? is it better to practice when i dont have my period so i know how its supposed to feel??????

 

Hey girl, it doesn't hurt taking a tampon out but when you first insert a tampon for the first time there might be a little discomfort because it is new.  There is no reason to fret you will get use to it and no time and you won't even know it's there.
