tampons
Okay, this was my first time using tampons. I used a couple, just to practice getting them in and out. I have a little trouble finding "the hole" and putting it all the way in. Is there anything I can do about this? And I know I could've gone a bit farther putting it in, but when I sit straight up, I can feel it just a little bit. Is this because I didn't put it in all the way, or I'm just not used to it.? And I'm worried about getting toxic shock syndrome, and everything. Andd I have to go to my friend's house tmrw and swim and it's like a bbq w/ her family and all. I am so scared about this...I'm just ready to crawl under a rock..Then i'll be gone all day at my other friend's house on Monday. Omg, what should I do about this situation???!!!! I'll rate high!!!

Are you using the plasting ones? Those don't work very well and they hurt when you put them in. Your first time putting in a tampon in is very uncomfortable, but once you get used to it you'll be fine. If you end up not putting it fully in avoid the water{obviously.}

well first of all dont worry about getting TSS.its verrrrry rare. and if you can feel it then you dont have it in far enough. you cant put it in like straight.it has to be slanted.try sitting in different positions wen you puttin git in.liek squat on the floor or put your leg up on the seat.it helps alot.and dont worry about your plans.nobody will be able to tell you have one in.
hope i helped XoXo

It could be both. Since its your first time you probably arent used to it and it probably isnt in all the way. Its hard to tell if its in all the way or its in the right way... especially if you are a virgin. Did you read the back of the box? Make sure you are putting one of your legs up on the toilet seat or something elevated, or you are squatting. This will help a lot to insert it. Also, it has to be inserted on an angle, the back of the boxes usually get specific with this part. Make sure as you put it in, you put it as far as you can.. leaving enough string so that it will hang enough to pull it out. Its okay to practice putting tampons in but make sure that you are on your period when you do it. Because if you arent then you are REALLY going to feel uncomfortable and have a horrible experience. TSS is a lot more common when you have a tampon in without having your period as well. Good luck. Try what i said, if its still uncomfortable you may have to break your plans. Remember- tampons arent for everyone, just like pads.

Practice makes perfect, hun. You just need to get the feel of it...keep trying it out, figure out what you need to do to make it more comfortable.
As for TSS....never leave a tampon in for more than 8 hours. If you have any of the symptoms (they're listed in the booklet that came with the tampons), take out your tampon and you should consider calling a doctor.
To make it more comfortable...try different positions. Try squating on the ground and inserting the tampon. You'll get the hang of it. Good luck!

hay girl! well okay to answer the question about feeling it... yes that means its not far enough... make sure you stick the applicator ALL the way in and then push the other part and it will put the tampon in plenty far... and as far as toxic shock syndrome... have no worries about that.. really... it is such a rare disease and yes serious but as long as you make sure you dont leave the tampon in for like 2 days or anything then you are totally fine.. just change it every 3-4 hours... but i mean ive even forgotten about mine and slept in it... and i just take it out n the morning and everything is fine... dont sweat.. dont worry... just make sure you use platex if possible... they are SOO much better than tampax... and they are 100x more comfortable... tampax PEARL is okay but make sure if you get tampax its pearl.. not the regular... but platex is better... so anyways good luck and i hope everything goes easy for you! have fun at your party! ;)

to get it in, its has to be slanted towards your butt, not straight in! it hurts b/c its not put in all the way or in the right way. you will fell it but then you kinda forget about it. as for tss, dont use to big of an absorbancy (regular at the most) and change it after 4 hours. keep a [makeup or otherwise small] mirror where plan to take/change your tampon.it will help you. <3
