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.

I tried to use a tampon for the first time today and it really hurt. Everyone says you shouldn't feel it. I'm scared that I'm not able to wear tampons.

okay so everytime i use a tampon and take it out my period stop so a while, like i would say 3 hours. I understand it's probably since the tampon sucked up all the blood, but does that mean that tampons can make my period go by faster? because it sucks up the blood faster?
thanks!

 

 

Hey girlie, no your period doesn't go by faster it still would be the same number of days

The first time I tried, it wouldnt go in and hurt. You have to make sure you're putting it at the right angle, otherwise its not actually going in.

 MOD! I haven't gotten my period yet but is it better to use tampons or pads for your first period?




Hey girlie! Most girls start out wearing pads then transfer over to tampons. It is your choice though! Neither is a "better" option; it's just personal preference.

Is there anything wrong with using scented tampons? My mom said that whatever makes them scented shouldn't be in your body, but I feel better about using scented ones.
Please Help!




hey! it's really about personal preference, whatever you feel comfortable with
