Tampons scare me!

  • 3 ways to not be embarrassed about buying tampons
I want to try tampons, but I’m afraid that they will be too big for me. Are there any brands out there for teens?
 
Slender regular. Regular regular. Super plus. Super. Confusing, huh?
 
One of the most common misconceptions when it comes to tampons is that all these varieties are made to fit different body sizes. They’re not. They are meant for how heavy or light your menstrual flow is. If you have very light bleeding, try Tampax Lites Junior. If you practically hemorrhage every month, you may need to go with something more. The most important thing to remember, though, is to always use the lowest absorbency possible to prevent toxic shock syndrome. TSS is a very, very rare disease caused by tampon use, but many cases are a result of women using the wrong absorbency. 
 
Used properly, tampons are an extremely safe alternative to bulky pads. You can always use a pantiliner to catch any overflow. And be sure to change your tampons often. You should never leave them in longer than eight hours, so you might want to go with the bulk under your nightie. Who’s gonna know?

MOD . Do tampons hurt.? im afraid too use them because i dont know if they hurt when you insert them or after or whatever . please help soon.! thanks.!

 

Hey babe, It depends. some girls are really sensitive and find that they hurt, but for a lot of girls, it doesn't hurt at all. For most girls it's a little uncomfortable at first but they get used to it and it doesn't bother them anymore. Try it out and see for yourself.

Hey girl! Tampons are totally safe and if used correctly, won't hurt you. Read the directions in the box or ask your mom for more details. Remember to change them every 4-8 hours and stay super clean while you're on your period!
