Ok well yesterday I got the courage to ask my mom if I could use tampons instead of pads, cuz well I play volleyball and so she said yeah i could, so we bought the Playtex Sport Tampons Regular.
Is that a good brand to start off with?
Well anyways, I think i got the main idea of how to put a tampon in... so correct me if i'm wrong
first you put the first part into the vagina, and then push in the second part inside of the first part, then take out the first/second part (they are inside of each other) and the string should be coming out of your body.
is that correct? tell me if thats wrong and how to do it.
Also another question is... (might be really stupid) Where do you put the tampon in?
like I know theres the butt hole where you poop, and then theres like a flab of skin where the pee comes out... but where do you put the tampon in?
like i can't bend down and see the hole, so how do i know if i'm putting the tampon in the right spot? I read the directions and they say i have to insert it 45 degrees angle, so how would it look like? Like would the back of the tampon be closer to your front? or back?
IDK i'm so confused... I had the courage to ask my mom if i could use tampons.. but I am REALLY uncomfortable to ask her how. and like ask her to show me.
plz help me!!!
thanks soo much!
Oh and how long are you supposed to keep tampons in maximum? 8 hours is ok?? (link)

Well, first of all, yes, that is how you put in a tampon.
Second, (and it's not a stupid question, it can be confusing if you don't know your body), you have to feel down there to know where to put it. If you want to start from your butt hole, just lightly put your finger on it (you can wash you hands later) then go upwards, towards your stomach and there should be another hole not too far away and that is where you put the tampon in. Although, when you first put it in, if you have not had sex yet, there is something called a hymen which sort of sheathes the opening of your vagina. It may feel a little uncomfortable when you first push past that part.
When it says 45 degrees, the tampon should be aimed towards your lower back, but inside of you. So it'll be more towards your back. And your hand should be almost in between your butt cheeks.
You should not leave your tampons in for a long time, like while you sleep. You might want to change a tampon before 8 hours, normally a you should only leave a tampon in for 4-8 hours.
Hope I helped!
