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.

MOD MOD MOD: This is really embarassing, but I bought a box of regular Tampons and I can't find where to put them in! I used a little hand-mear, but I don't know which "hole" to put it in. I know it's the Vagina, but I just don't know where still! Please help!

mod um i just got my period, and i do dance, meaning i wear a leotard, and you can see my pad ! i don't know what do , and i'm definatley not wearing a tampon ! help, please ! (:




Hey chica! I'm not sure what you mean by you can see your pad. If it's peeking out the sides of your leotard, then try wearing 2 leotards. Maybe the first one will help conceal it. Pads are much harder to conceal than tampons, but you might want to give tampons a second chance. Once you get the hang of them, they are great to use. You can't feel them when inserted properly, and they are completely concealed.

The best first tampon is Playtex Gentle Glide, the multi pack with Slender Lights and Slender Regulars, so you can switch sizes once your done with the lights. It got recommended to me from one of my friends so I tried them and I loveed it! The fact that they were slender helped them get in easier oh and the reason they might of hurt is because you were probably tense or anxious which caused your muscles to tense up or you started off with a too big tampon.
