Tampon tips!?

 

I can't use a tampon! I've tried and tried, but it just won't work.  I hate getting my period, not only because of the cramps and PMS but because I can't stand pads. They're so annoying to dance in and it ruins vacations because I can't go swimming.


I went on a trip to California with some friends (guys, too!) and it was so embarrassing to explain why I couldn't go in the water. I'm the only one out of all my friends who can't use one. Do you have any tips? Is there something wrong with me?


Hey girl,

There's nada wrong with you. In fact, I can totally relate to you! During my first year of my period, I used pads to avoid the pain of tampons, which I still never liked. Hopefully, the tips I learned from my experience will help you.


The most important thing to do is RELAX! When you’re about to use a tampon and you’re thinking that it’s not going to work, it won’t work. So the next time you attempt to use a tampon, think positively!


You should probably set aside a time for a trial run when you don’t even have your period. This way, there’s no pressure, mess, whatever. You can just focus on getting the tampon in there. Choose a tampon that’s small, or junior-sized since you’re a newbie at this.


Be sure to read the directions. Usually, they have illustrations to go along with them. Study carefully and make sure that you’re doing everything right. Try standing, sitting, and all different positions. Did you push the tampon OUT of the applicator?


If nothing you’re trying works, I would talk to your mom or your doc to see if they have any other suggestions. Asking a friend for tips might help as well.


Good luck!

my mom said she didnt think they would b "good for me" but idk y. then when i went to the ocean w/ my dad i had to just wear a liner and pants over bathing suit it was rly uncomfortable

About the answer; you should NEVER use a tampon when your not on your period. The material the tampon is made out of sticks to your skin so you cant remove it until it obsorbbs water. Sorry! I dont use a tampon either!

Sorry if this is an awkward question to answer, but I want to know if you could have any guess as to when I'll get my period. I'm going to be 13 in August so I'm at the "average age" to get it. I have hips and long legs and all that stuff. I have a size A cup too. The thing is, my mom didn't get hers until she was 15. I have some discharge every once in a while. Could you please help?




Hey girl, I can't tell you when you're going to get your period (wish I could but no one knows! The thing about every girl is that it comes at a different time). What I can tell you, however, is to be prepared with pads and to look out for signs of PMS the week before (discharge, cramps, migraine headaches, chest pain, mood swings, increased appetite and fatigue, etc.)

I don't actually agree with the test-run advice. Taking out a dry tampon isn't exactly the best feeling. Just throwing that out there.

Tong i chicken out every time i try! im a swimmer, so i have to!! Tong i hate wearing pads as well Tong can anyone give exra tips??




Hey girl! Sorry but you're going to have to learn to at least deal with pads and tampons. Tampons are necessary for you because you are a swimmer. If inserted right, you shouldn't even feel it.

ok so my dance recital is in like 5 days and i know im about to get my period but im not exactly sure when its going to start because its not very consistent yet. i rly dont want to have to dance in a pad ugh but im also kinda afraid to talk to my mom about it and i dont know why!! any tips for bringing up the subject with her?

 

 

Hey babes, it doesnt hurt to be prepared! Try using a tampon. You only need it for a fwe hours then you can change out of your costume and put on a pad. Talking to moms about this stuff is tough but I would def just casually bring it up on the way to dance practice. xo JANA

Yep... any kind of tampon should be good for you. You prob don't need anything bigger than regular though because your period is prob still light.

ok hey i was wonderin, when u take a bath/shower, should u like REALLY wash "down there" like around ur vagina because i usally just go on top and around. When i get my period should i especially wash there? also, WHAT KIND OF SOAD SHOULD I USE AND HOW SHOULD I WASH IT(should i use a poof/sponge or a bar of soap??!) thanx!!!! Smile




Hey girl, you don't have to really wash down there, but it doesn't hurt to give it a quick once over like any other body part. During your period? Same thing. It doesn't have to be anything big. Soap? I like Dove personally but it all depends on your preference. Any old bar will do.

What exactly is dicharge? I knew but I totally blanked. Also, I'm 11 but I think I'll be getting my period soon. I'm really worried that I won't be prepared or it will happen at school. OMG! What should I say to my mom? Should I tell her That I want to be prepared? Because we havn't talked about me getting my period ever. Help please!

 

Hey girl! You can def talk to your mom about your period! She's a girl, too, so she knows whats up! It may feel uncomfy at first but it will pass and you two can talk about it! Don't worry too much about your period, you'll figure it all out soon. Visit this page for all the deets: http://www.girlslife.com/hub/periods-period.aspx

Hey-
I think Jean L. has some really good ideas, but I just want to tweak one thing. When I first learned to use tampons my mom told me that I should practice using them when I dont have my period. I was really nervous, but I rea every single word on the little einstruction sheet that comes in every tampon box first. I found out that under the warnings it says not to use tampons when you dont have your period because taking it out will be really apinful. So my advice is to wait till you have it, then go in the bathroom and try it. Also you should get the really small ones to start with. Which will make it less painful. Smile Hope I helped

by Gurlz Rock! on 11/1/2009 1:34:33 PM

 
 

MOD help idk if i always forget im wearing a tampon and it leaks all the time any advice?

 

Hey chica, get a calendar and mark off the days you'll be on your period. That way you'll know when your next period is coming and you'll remember you have to wear pads.

A panty liner might be more helpful than a tampon, actually. As for bras, you can really get them anywhere. Kohl's and Target have good ones.

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

MOD! when i get my period should I use a tampon or a pad? sspeaches

 

Hey girl, it's all up to you!  Pads are good for days when the flow is lighter or for when you first start getting your period.  Tampons are nice though because you don't really feel them when they're in.  Just make sure you change them according to the instructions on the box!  best, Kristen

is it normal for a tampon to slightly hurt why you take it out or is this a problem? i only wear them when i have sports practices

 

Hey girl, depending on how you're taking it out, it can definitely be normal but if it hurts too much, be careful that you're inserting it right. For more help on tampons, check out http://www.girlslife.com/category/pads-vs-tampons.aspx.

my period is so unpredicatable. when do i know to wear a pad or something?

 

Hey girl! Your period comes once a month, so the next time you get it mark the last day of your period on a calender. This will help you be ready for the next month.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD If the string on a tampon breaks is it possible to pull the tampon out without having to tell anybody I want to try tampons but I need this question answered first.




hey babe! Strings on tampons VERY rarely break, so no worries! If it does happen to break you should tell someone if you can't get it out! It is possible to still get it out, but it may be uncomfortable. Although tampons are scary to talk about with an adult, sometimes adults can be really helpful!

Hey, I had the sameproblem when I was eleven!

You might like it once you start using them or you might not evryones differnt.Smile

Okay... so my period is pretty heavy! But i use the Playtex regulars and I'm afraid that they aren't enough! I use the slender kind because otherwise it hurts really bad putting them in. Any advice?




Super absorbent tampons are good for when it's really heavy and you don't want to change it every hour. If it hurts to use anything besides Playtex regulars, try using a tampon and a panty-liner. A panty-liner is basically a very thin pad that sticks to your underwear. It's great in case you have a leak from your heavy flow! Good luck babe! It will be over soon! Smile

Is this just a myth or could this really happen?? thanks!!Smile

 

Hey missy things like that only rarely happen, so you shouldn't worry. If the string breaks I'm sure there are other ways to pull it out, without getting surgery.

Maturity, does anyone else have friends who think they are more mature than you are because they are doing things that you arent? I think maturity is a mental thing more than a physical thing but I was talking with a friend and she was bragging about how mature she thought she was and how I wasnt.
When it comes to being mature, what do people think they should only be doing or using if they are mature?

MOD MOD MOD I've been having my period for a while now and just recently I tried tampons. They hurt when I put them in and take them out and they also feel weird when I wear them. Am I just not used to them?

 

Hey girl!  They may hurt a little if you take them out a little too early, or if you aren't wearing them in far enough, but they shouldn't hurt when you're putting them in.  Check to make sure your tampons have plastic applicators- I think they're the easiest to use.  If they are plastic, you can always try using a smaller size , and see if that's any better.  Best, Kristen

Hey girl, there's no such thing as too skinny to have your period. Aunt Flow will visit you when she's ready, so just be patient and prepared. Yup, discharge is a sign that your period is on the way. So be sure to have some handy pads! Smile

I wanna keep going but I just get tired. What can I do to help me run longer and faster besides practice running? And do you know that if we make the JV team, do we still have a chance to move up into the Varsity team????? HELP!!!!!!!

ok, if you can't use tampons, i'm so sorry but try to use one when you already have your period and it's heavy. NEVER put use one or put it in when you don't have your period because it will probably get get stuck. trust me it happened to my best friend and she had to sit in the bathtub for like 3 hours and she said it hurt so bad. so do not do it! when you do it just relax and concentrate, i use tampax pearl lites because they don't hurt and easy to use.

Hey girl, it's normal when working out to gain muscle -- which can mean some extra pounds -- but they're good pounds. Continue working out, girlie, and eating healthy. The most important thing you can do is commit to being healthy. The rest'll come with time. Your body is still growing!

Okay. So I have had two periods so far. I want to use tampons because I keep staining my clothes when I wear pads and only pads. For ex., I just had my second one in August, and I put two pads down plus toilet paper and it still soaked through that and my jeans! Anyways, my stepmom only uses pads. I asked her if I can use them but she doesn't want me to since I am still a virgin and she thinks they are only for women and for women who have had sex before. I know that that is not true and don't know why I can't use them. I am considering going to the store and buying them myself but I would have no idea what to buy or anything, plus I would be going behind my moms back and using tampons. Help please!




Hey babe,

Talk to your mom and get a better idea of why she doesn't want you to use tampons. Maybe she'll let you try them out once and both of you can decide from there what you want to do. Until then, just change your pad more frequently that you usually do to prevent leaks.

It's best to wear a tampon when you're going swimming. If your period is really super light (like almost not even there) then it might be okay to go without. The temp of the water doesn't make a difference.

hey can i go without a pad in cold water? or warm water?

MOD MOD MOD is a tampon or pad better?

 

Hey girlie,

 

It depends, for younger gals a pad is usually better. Tampons can hurt a little when you first put them in, but if you are really active and do sports or dance, then a tampon might work better so you don't have to worry as much about leaks and stuff.

MOD-MOD Hi, I recently read an MOD question from someone asking whether it was bad or good to enter as much as you like in a giveaway, the MOD answered by saying that she thinks it will hurt your chances if you enter a lot, or too much! How is that possible? And is it true? Thank you :]

 

Hey girlie, you really only need to enter once but you can enter as many times as you want to. Check out our page on contest rules for more info: http://www.girlslife.com/page/GLs-GIVEAWAY-OF-THE-DAY-RULES.aspx

*****mod********** what is the difference between a pantylinier and a pad? also is it wierd for me to not like thongs? what is a good way to get rid of blackheads? does entering contests mutiple times give you a better chance? is it weird to feel like i need a boyfriend because everyone has one but me even weirdos i like people but are scared of being rejected.i dated alot of guys when i was in 6th grade like it was crazy and then it slowed down a lot

 

Hey girlie! Pantyliners are typically thinner than pads. No, you don't have to like thongs. Blackheads are tough, try some blackhead clearing scrub. Contests are completely randomn and we give every girl an equal chance. No, never feel weird because you're not dating anyone! I think I got all the answers to your questions!

**********mod********** i have a couple questions one i dont understand why my mom lied and told me you can't wear tampons till after your pregnant and i dont understand should i use them anyway secondly why wont my mom talk to me about sex i haven't asked her but every year she tells me to go away while she talks to the guidance counselor and this year i heard her and she asks them if she should ell me.my aunt has told me alot so i dont do it.but does she not trust me or not care?also she wont let me take any of the health classes on it. also i get red discharge alot lately and i have had white crusty stuff i have been checked for infections recently none at all.everyone says it is sins of periods but i have had them for a while how come i have not started im almost 15. everyone also makes fun of me at school because i supposedly have big ears well at least the guys make fun of me.i actually think im prettier then alot of the girls they like and those girls are my friends why do they make fun of me?any comebacks.they do things like saying they can get signal from my ears and they ask me if i can hear the radio sorry its so long

 

Hey girlie! Your mom could just be uncomfortable with the subject herself. Your best bet is to sit her down and ask questions. As far as the boys go, they are obviously immature and have some self-confidence issues. Hold your head high and know your fabulous just as you are!

MOD!!!!
1. when i get my period i get really moody and my mom always complains about it and tells me to shut up and stop complaining and stuff. it makes me feel really bad and i always try to stop and some how i always end up complaining and being moody anyway. what can i do to stop getting moody and complaining a lot.
2. whenever i have a bad day and i wanna talk about it no one will ever listen to me and i usually end up getting grouchy and not wanting to talk to anyone. do u have any tips to help my probs?




I suggest you find someone to talk to when you're upset. About the being moody, that happens to mostly everyone when they're on their period. The most you can do is watch what you say ad prevent yourself from complaining too much. Best, Kristen

When you're smaller, it takes you longer to get your period. Don't worry too much. If a few more years pass without you getting it, then i suggest you go to a doctor. Also it's not true that you can't use tampons till after your pregnant. You can use tampons any time. Kristen

2) Is it normal for me to not grow anymore? My growth rate has slowed down TREMENDOUSLY!!! (Espcially after my period, which I got on my 11 bday) My mom says that if girls get their periods, their grown rate slows.
AND I AM ONLY 12!!!!!
HELP!!! Frown




She's right, once you get your period, your growing slows. I'm not sure why you haven't gotten your period but i definitely suggest you goto the doctor to see what's wrong. Best, Kristen

You should have around 1700 calories per day. You can count calories as much as you want, but don't become too obsessive about it. If you don't want to hurt your stomach then i suggest you work out specific muscles like the muscles in your arms and legs. Kristen

Hey girly, you should never shave your arms, so this is just one hairy situation you're going to have to deal with. But don't feel alone because lots of girls have hairy arms. So don't be ashamed of it, embrace it! And look on the bright side, fall is right around the corner so you won't be wearing your arms out much longer.

My mom wasnt home only my older sis. and we didnt have the small tampons only the big ones so she had to drive to the store. and i just relaxed myself and thought of how much i wanted to be in the meet and how i wanted to get it in so i can swim and i just focuseed on what i could do if i got it in and it went rite in. also i suggest using tampax pearl lites. they are really thin and dont hurt when they go in.

HEY MOD my mom is a doctor and she told me that you can go swimming without wearing a tampon during you period because the cold water prevents the flow of blood. I'm not sure if this is true? It works with me. I can even go in a hot tub and I don't bleed! So is it true? And if not then how come I don't seem to bleed when I'm in the water, or even in the shower?

Hey chica, mhmm this is a tricky one. Since he's just a friend, it should be ok for the both of you to dance with other people. But since you want to dance with other people maybe you shouldn't bring the guy. The guy may get offended if you neglect him and dance with other guys, so maybe it's best to just ask him is it ok first.

Hey chicky, be sure to give those strands a break from all those hair products. Don't use any styling tools for a while (curling iron, flat iron, etc. ) but do use a large bristle brush to comb your hair. Wash it every other day and eat a really healthy diet. Hopefully you'll see some growth soon!

I've heard that if you wear lots of stuff on your lip you are supposed to tone down the eyes, and same thing for the lips. What are some makeup tips for my dilemma?

Hey girl, yep those are general makeup tips so that your makeup isnt overwhelming, but Halloween is an exception. If you wanna wear the false lashes and the red lipstick, go for it. I wouldn't go overboard with eye makeup though. Have a great Halloween!

Hey girl,

I'm sure you've heard it before but be careful with guys you meet online. Just be careful. If he's experienced, don't let him pressure you. Be yourself but be straight up that you're not going to do everything he wants when it comes to that. Talk to your mom or older sis if you can about this. I don't know deets like his age or reputation but just be conscious of stuff like that when you go out. Good luck : )

One more question. Is it possible to not notice discharge before they ever get there period? Is it common? Or is the discharge unnoticable?
Thanks!
You are a really fast Mod. Smile

 

Hey girl,

Thanks! Yeah, discharge is usually noticeable and you'll prob need to wear a pantyliner for that before you get your period. But again, that's just usually, so not every girl has the same pre-period routine! If you think your period is on its way, wear a pantyliner! : )


Best,

That is what I did, I practiced a few times when I didnt even have my period because a friend said to try it. Now I love using them.

Tampons arent a big deal when you learn how to use them and dont listen to people who tell you that you lose your virginity when using them because you dont, and that goes for even using the super sized thick ones. But when you first start out use the thin small ones until you have to start using the wider ones.

And a tip I learned on GL that has been so helpful is buy some lubricant for down there like KY Jelly or Astroglide and put some on the end of the tampon and a little where it is going and they slide in very easily.

So my Suggestions are,

Practice
Use the correct Size
Read the Package and look at the pictures
Relax when inserting them
Use Lubricant to help them slip in easier
Dont leave them in longer then you should

I can totally realate !! I went on a trip to florida, and I wanted to use a tampon, but I was too nervous and I could'nt do it. I did end up going swimming in the pool , but not the ocean becasue I was afraid of sharks !! The flow stops in the water though,,

My friend just got her period last week and she used a tampon. She said you feel a little sick for awhile but after 10 minutes your fine. Is that normal?
Thanks!

 

Hey girl,

If you put a tampon in correctly, you're def not supposed to feel sick. It can be uncomfortable at first and it takes a couple days to get used to. But tell her to follow the directions on the box and ask her mom or a trusted female for help. Practice makes perfect!
