Question Posted Saturday December 3 2005, 10:55 pm
I've had my period since July, and it's already starting to become regular. Is this a good time to start using tampons? I want to begin using them before the volleyball season comes up because I heard you can see pads through your spandex shorts. Any tips on using them, like how to know when it's in, how exactly to use the applicater, and how to get it in ? Thanks guys :)

Its your choice if your ready or not. Tampons are very easy to use, not like they seem (right?) Haha. Okay, so they are easy and very convienent. I recommend playtex regulars, because they work for me, and a few other people I know. They are the most comfortable, in my opinion. They have like a little handle too, so its easy. Putting them in.. there will be a packet to explain. Oh, and dont give up your first time, its tough (i cried, haha. it wasnt that bad though), but you'll get used to it. You basically just stick it in your vagina (the only hole there, so dont worry) and take the applicater out (plastic) You know its in when the handle thing is still visible, and its in securily.

But yeah, if you are starting volleyball, I would definately recommend using tampons because they are just easier and def. more comfortable :) And as the person below me said, being active WILL make your period irregular, so just be prepared, and always have extra tampons/pads with you. It sucks if you forget =/ When you buy tampons, there should be a piece of paper in there that explains exactly how to do it. If you can't find it, or they haven't provided one, feel free to ask! I'd gladly explain it to you if you need more help. You might not get it at first though;Some of my friends just started using them not too long ago, and they said they couldn't get it at first. And I totally agree. It's confusing the first time you do it. BUT once you get it, it will be extremely easy from then on :) [ yourperfectdisaster's advice column | Ask yourperfectdisaster A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Sunday December 4 2005, 11:07 am: you can probably use tampons. a lot of girls do, especially during sports. a heads up, if you start running a lot in volleyball, it probably will become unregular soo juss be prepared for that. idk why but it does. when you get the tampon, it'll have instructions how to put it in & all that.
