Okay...I've had my period for exactly 2 years as of December 5. I want to use tampons, and I know how to put them in and all the dangers. But I have a few other questions:
Does it hurt going in/while its in/coming out?
What is an appropriate size?
What exactly does Toxic Shock Sydrome do to your body?
How do you know that you have TSS?
I rate. (link)

1. As long as you are relaxed and don't jamit up ther it won't hurt. As for coming out..sometimes it may feel uncomfortable when you don't have a heavy flow, b/c the tampon is dry. It doesnt hurt though, it's just a wierd feeling.
2. For your first time you shouyld start with "Tampax Satin Teen" b/c they are specially made for teens, so they are made smaller but with the same absorbency. Start witha light...and then gradually move up. I'm sure you've realised how your flow acts by now so for ex. if the first day is light wera a light tampon...if the second day is heavy wear a super tampon. Basically match the tampon size to the amount of blood you get. And if your just not sure which to use, stick with regular. remember it's always best to use the smallest tampon as possible.
3. TSS can make you pass out, hace a ceisure, and end up in a coma. It's very rare but you can die from it, so make sure you dont sleep with a tampon, and don't wear it more that 8 hrs!
4. Sudden fever (usually 102° or higher), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or near fainting when standing up, dizziness, and/or a rash that looks like sunburn. If you experience any of these..then discontinue tampon use and go to the doctor or hospital right away!
Hope this helps and by the way...using tampon really isnt a big deal so dont worry! Plus they are WAYYY better than pads! ♥ caitie
