YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

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. Is this normal? How do I put one in without hurting?

 

Not to worry, using tampons for the first time is tricky for lots of gals. It’s normal for it to hurt until you get the hang of it. Definitely don’t force something that doesn’t feel right, though.

 

The trick may be the position you’re in (you can try lying down, standing up or squatting). Or it may be the angle that you’re holding the tampon. Our bodies are all different, so while you should use the guide that comes in the box of tampons, realize that your bod might need more or less of an angle.

 

Practice makes perfect, and you’ll eventually get the hang of it! And don't hesitate to ask your mom for help--she's been there and is sure to be able to give you a hand. Good luck, babe.

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!
