ok so ive never used a tampon before... ive had my period for 5 years, ive just always used pads. my mom said they were uncomfortable and a pain so i never cared to use them, and we live in an area where its cold most of the year, so swimming was rarely a problem.
buuut i have a pool party tmrw & i have my period. i practiced putting them in today & after an enlightening conversation with mother dearest ["hey mom, wheres my vag?" yeah, that was amusing] i actually got it in. but it wouldnt go in all the way, there was still about 25% of the thick part hanging out. the more i tried to push it in [ not hard ] it hurt... it was almost like i could feel it thru my butt.
any suggestions? & can i still go swimming with that much hanging out?
this is the 5th day, not TOO much blood coming out.
& if it makes a difference, im a complete virgin so im pretty sure that layer of skin in there is still together.
thanks to anyone who can help.
It's a little tricky to get the hang of it at first but after a few tries its really easy. If you are a virgin you should probably try using a smaller size at first such as Junior sizes, Lites or Regular size. Then it is helpful to sit on the toilet with your knees apart, and relax. If your not relaxed it makes it harder to insert! so take a few deep breaths. Hold the applicator with your thumb and middle finger with your pointer finger on the bottom of the applicator. Insert the tip of the applicator (try to angle it towards your lower back) all the way,then push the bottom of the applicator with your pointer finger until you hear or feel a click, then remove the applicator. If its in right you wont feel it at all, if it feels weird take it out and try again. Don't worry its normal to have a little trouble.
You can usually keep them in for 4-6 hours depending on how heavy your flow is.
