I can't get the hang of tampons

Check these out, too...

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.

my mom says i am too young for tampons even though i am 13 and i really want to try one because pads always soak up the blood and when i sit down it soils my pants!!i was wondering if there is a certain age or time i should try tampons.

I think you should tell her why you dont wanna use pads anymore. If you give her reasons im sure she'll let you try them out. xoxo kerra

They make tampons with or without applicators and I have only ever used them with the plastic applicator. You cant tense up when putting them in because it causes the muscles down there to tighten not allowing them to go in easy. For that reason you can use lube to help them slide in easier. Just practice using your fingers a few times because it does help and use a good lube.

I've had my period since i was 11. (im 13 now) and i'm so ready to wear tampons because i hate the feeling of being all bloody and gross in class... especially the classes i have with my crush... Anyways, i got the U by Kotex ones, that are regular size which is the smallest. and i just tried to put one in (scaaaryyy) but it wouldnt go in all the way and it kinda hurt. did i do something wrong? idk. I'll try again tomorrow, but can you give me some advice on how to do it right, and make it easier on myself?
thank you,
<3 brazilrocks

Hey girlie. Make sure you push the applicator inside you first. Then push the slider part up so that the tampon comes out. Then pull out the applicator.
