I can't get the hang of tampons

I’ve been on my period for two-and-a-half years and I want to use tampons but every time I try to put one in, it hurts...

These are great tips. GL, you are so right, it has so much to do with the angle when you try to put them in. They dryness is also important. That is why a good lubricant can help. My friend is going through problems with trying to use tampons. wikihow.com also has a good explanation on how and what to do when it comes to aunt flo and tampons.

Hey girl,

Don't be afraid to ask your mom for help! She's a girl, so she knows what it's like. Good luck!

MODMODMOD I just got my period this morning and i already hate pads but when i tried to put in a tampon i couldnt get it in..what should i do?

Hey girly,
It's probably best to go to your mom or a close family friend on this one. They will be able to help you out.

Hey akward Question but is the whole applicator supposed to go in your vagina (as in whole applicator I mean to the ring in the middle) and if not how far should it go into it and what part of my back should I aim for when putting it in?
Thanks bunches,
[=.Batman.<3




Hey girlie. Yea, try to push it to the ring if you can. There's no particular part of your back to aim for. Just try to adjust it and push it in so it's comfortable. The more you practice, the more you will realize which angle is best for you.

I'm 14 and just got accepted to the high school of my dreams. I have cheerleading clinics on Tuesday and I just got my period today. From what I know there is going to be a lot of tumbling so I was just wondering if a pad would work. If not, how can I tell my mom that I want tampons. Also, do tampons hurt when you take them out? Thanks for answering (:
PS: I've had my period for almost 2 years




Hey girlie,

Pads should be fine, but if you want to try tampons, they shouldn't hurt.  Just tell your mom you want to be safe to avoid any potential embarrassing moments while tumbling!

ok so i just got some tampons and i haven't tried to put one in yet....i am pretty scared. but my problem is that i was suppose to have my period a few days ago. i'm 12 so i'm not pregnant. its frustrating because its spring break and i don't want to go anywhere because what if i start my period?? ugh!!!! what do i do???




Hey girlie. There are instructions in the tampon box about how to put one in, so don't worry. Don't let being scared about that influence your decision to go somewhere for spring break. Go have fun! Just make sure you have pads/tampons with you at all times incase you do get your period.
