angle tampon?

Answers:
Well it may take a bit of practice before you get it in right, especially if you are a virgin. But it is easier to do it if you are sitting down. Don't force it, just try to find a comfortable position, it will be kinda upward and back, you can't just shove it straight up there. The important thing is to relax, because if you are tense it will be harder to insert. I hope you are using one with an applicator.that also helps. Make sure you are not using one that is too large. Start out with a Jr or regular absorbency tampon at first, even if you have a heacier cycle, just so you can get used to putting it in. I hope this helps! You feel so much cleaner with them, especially now that its getting hot outside! Oh and with the applicator, you push it in until the first section goes in, and then you push the applicator so the tampon goes in. You should not feel the tampon once its in place. If you feel it and it feels uncomfortable, you most likely don't have it in far enough. Its not likely that you will push it in too far. Just check and make sure you can reach the string, for when its time to take it out.

First, buy a brand which has a plastic applicator, not a cardboard one. That makes things much easier. My favourite brand personally is Tampax compax.

Try to find ones which are designed for lighter days when you're just starting out. Yes, you'll probably have to change it more often, but they're very small so easiest to learn with.

When you're going to put one in, you have to relax. Get into a position where it will be easiest - most people suggest sitting on the toilet with your legs wide apart, or putting one foot on the edge of the bath. Personally, I find the easiest way is to crouch down with my knees wide apart.

Take the tampon in your right hand (assuming you're right handed). Spread the labia with your left hand and gently insert the tampon into the vagina. Push it in gently until the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin. That's the most important part - it has to be far enough in or it will be uncomfortable. If you're having trouble getting it in, try pushing slightly to one side or the other, or slightly rotating the tampon as you push it in. If you find it a bit dry going in, you could try using a bit of vaseline on the tip of the tampon.

Once the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin, use your left hand to push the applicator in all the way, as far as it goes - again, if you feel a bit of resistance try pushing slightly to one side or the other, then withdraw the applicator and the tampon should be in place.

If the tampon is in the right place, you won't be able to feel it inside you at all. It's difficult to get the hang of at first, but just keep trying, I promise you it's worth it! No more messy pads, no more gushing of blood when you sneeze or move position.tampons are definitely the way to go! Good luck!
try using tampons with applictors first, it make it alot easier. the tampon will go up as far as it needs to. when putting one in you should aim it towards the bottom of ya back. once you've done it a few times itll become second nature and you'll wonder why it was so hard in the first place. good luck chick.
