hey, me and my friend were just going through some of the tampon questions and it just confused me more. See I've had my period for about two years now (I'm thirteen) and I get them pretty heavy. I want to try tampons but I'm scared it will hurt, I'll do it wrong, or I'll gett TSS. I want to try it before my period so I don't like mess up but I've heard it hurts. Is that okay to try before and the first time I try is it going to hurt like crazy?

ok, I went thru what your going thru now, I'm fixing to turn 25 and once I was able to get over my fears of tampons, You couldn't pay me a million dollars to go back to waddling with a pad on haha. ok, here we go...The tampon consists of two pieces. Stick the piece with the cotton in first (I'm sure you know this duh lol) and with your finger on the end piece, go all the way in till no more of the end piece hangs out. Then you grab that piece and pull it back out. Wha Lah! (Hope that wasn't to confusing? I'm sorry if it was.) I wouldn't try sticking a tampon in when you weren't on your period because it would be dry and would hurt because of that. Tampons really are more sanitary when compared to pads and also they control odor. Give em' a try and if it hurts or feels uncomfortable in any way then it is not in right, or it's to dry. When inserted properly, you shouldn't feel a thing.
