how do i put a tampon in?

Question:

Answers:
Tampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.

One way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself. Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about. This is something that is essential for any girl.

Get comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around. It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works. When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.

Next time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect. It is different, but it is not bad. Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice. Just keep trying until you get it right. When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.

Using a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment. You will have to pick for yourself.

Which ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

read the directions they should be in the tampon box or ask your mom

TMI

First off relax if it's your first time. Follow all the directions on the pamphlet inside the box, if you follow them then you will be okay.

ok, Everyone likes to put a tampon in their own way.so it is hard to explain. Look in the box, they usually have a sheet that tells you. Or, what i did was i looked on wabsites and stuff for that kind of thing. I really didnt what anyone to show me (ewww) so i just discovered it myself, i am sure you could to.so folo the direstions in the box.

Read the directions in the box. I had a difficult time being able to use them at first. I found it was easier to put it in if I was standing with one foot on the toliet seat. Using a tampon with a plastic applicator also goes in smoother. Insertion also seems smoother if you try during the heavier days of your period. Using a mirror for the first couple times may help as well.

uh first of all Beautiful Sin, you're the one displaying pictures of your breasts, so you should not be the one to say TMI. Everyone has their own problems, and like you, this girl has never done this before.

Anyways, I wish I could help you with your tampon issue, but I myself have not gotten my period yet. I have to go to the doctor and get my hormones checked, because I'm almost 16.

what does TMI mean?

First of all, buy some plastic Tampax Pearl tampons. Playtex Slimfits will work as well, but Tampax Pearl is best. Relax. If you're tense, it'll be almost impossible to get it in. The best directions will be in the instructions in the box, so follow those. Good luck!

read the instructions that come with the box, silly.
