LoveNJstyle answered Monday September 5 2005, 8:11 pm: no no no!! dont be scared! if you use pearl, its plastic and you just relax, get it in you (its not as mig as you think, trust me!) then gently pull out the applicator. it shouldnt hurt if you put in right so have a mirror handy just in case. goodluck! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
GDROB answered Monday September 5 2005, 7:55 pm: It's a personal choice. Ask your mother, cousin, sister about this issue in confidence. If it hurt that much or killed someone (I'm not refering to toxic shock syndrome which you need not worry) you would hear it on the news everynight--12-year-old dead as a result of using tampon wrong. You see silly ;) You only fear it because of the mystery surrounding it and never having used one.
The best thing to do is get a sample at a nurse's office if they still have them at school, read the pamphlet and try to use one. You will not ace it on the first try but there is indeed only one way they do in fact go.
I would look at tampax.com and read about them
before doing anything or continuing to be scared about it. Millions use them--they don't die-suffer etc. So do not fret. If you want to use them simply learn how. [ GDROB's advice column | Ask GDROB A Question ]
cookierat123 answered Monday September 5 2005, 7:49 pm: ok, look, every girl has to go through with this. i was scared when i decided to use them as well. just fret about it though. just take some deep breaths and go for it! you dont have to shove it up there, just push it in slowly. but if your not ready then wait alittle while. just a tip though, its going to hurt alittle taking it out. so dont think that something is wrong with you if that happens. i think you should do it sista!
