Tampon help...?


Question:
ok i have tried to use tampons all last night and a little bit this morning. i sit on the toilet and i have this cool mirror that stands up itsself and that helps me look. but the decided to turn to the mangnified part (dont keep reading if grossed out easily) and i know this is gross and i opened real real wide (down there) and saw that what i htought to be a hole isnt a hole! i mean, there wasnt a ole for the tampon to go in! Is this bad or am i just not seeing it? i dont usually like to talk about this stuff and its very personal...i'm 13 and its my 3 day of a HEAVY peirod and i;m going to the mts and i really wanna swim...unfortuantely its with only my big sis (who is also afriad to use tampons) and my dad cuz my mom is divorced from my dad. arg...i hope i'm like not not-normal >.< i wish my mom wasnt working now she said she would've helped me...but if i cant use tampons, can i use a cup? where could i get one besides ordering offline?

Answers:
First of all--don't worry. There is a hole there. As for using a cup, you may or may not find this easier than using a tampon. You should not have to order them online. Go to a drugstore (a larger one will be more likely to have them--Meijer and Walmart both do.) You're going to want to look in the feminine hygine section for a small box of a product called "Instead." These are menstrual cups. You can try those instead of a tampon.

While it's good that you have the mirror and all, don't be afraid to feel around a bit down there. As the previous answer says, there will be only one hole large enough for a tampon or cup or finger. That will tell you where you are. Being comfortable with your body is a good thing--it just takes some time.

I personally was not able to comfortably wear tampons until I was 15. All of my friends already could, and I felt stupid or like something was wrong with me. My body, and more importantly, my mind, wasn't ready for it until then. Now, it's no big deal. It was then, though. You're not alone. Relax as much as you can. Good luck to you.
haha theres a hole there. dont worry
you shouldn't need a mirror, theres only ONE hole it will fit in. just DONT panic or it will be harder, just relax
Take your finger and put inside your vagina...you will see how far in the tampon can go. Stand with one foot on the toilet and one of the floor, the tampon will go right into the vaginal cavity with little effort. Once you know your body, you can be much more comfortable with it. The only other "hole" is where urine comes out, and that isn't going to accept a tampon. Its really not hard to put one in, but start small. do not try to use those huge ones on your first attempts. If you have any girlfriends, ask their moms or big sisters. This is something we have all dealt with. Don't be embarrassed ! Its OK..there are instructions inside the tampon box too, check them out.
dont worry,there is a hole there,what i do is i lay on the floor and spread my legs,its easyer for me to get the tampon it cause of the way im sitting.
the first couple of times it will hurt,then you will get used to it.
Please do not panic. The hole is definitely there and you can use a tampon. All you have to do is get into a comfortable position. Sitting on the toilet is fine, standing or crouching works as well. Don't bother with the mirror. Before inserting the tampon use your finger to feel where the opening is, so you have a general idea and then proceed with insertion. If you are anxious or in a panic, the process will definitely be a trial so you need to relax. Take several deep breaths and exhale slowly. This will help ease the tension in your body and cause your muscles to dilate. Once this has happened, slowly insert the tampon and push it in as far as it can go.

I hope this helps. There is no reason why you cannot enjoy your swim!
A cup is difficult to use. If you are scarred of Tampons I highly do not reccomend using a cup. You can buy them at any store, but they are hard to get out.
Tampons are easy to use. the first couple times you try you will have trouble. There are several ways to try. Lay on the floor push back and in at the same time. You can sit on the toilet with your legs spread like I do, but try that after you get the hang of it. The easiest way to do it when you are not use to it is one leg on the ground and one leg on the toliet. You need to push toward the back of your butt and in the hole to get it in there right. If you push strait up you will hit your pelvis. Then you will have problems getting it in. If for some reason you can not get them in at that point, you may want to go to the doctor. My friend has a hard time wearing them because of her shape. She can't wear them because they leak. You may have the same issue. Just try try try, then if in doubt make an appointment with a gynogologist.
good luck
