So I've been trying to use tampons for a while now but I still can't seem to get it right. I used to be afraid of them but now I'm over it. Their tampons...whatever. But every time I get one in, I can still kind of feel it, like, at the end...which sounds wierd, I know. It's like it's not in far enough and I keep trying to get it in farther but its just not working...am I stupid or something? I mean, I'm trying, but it just won't work. It doesn't hurt or anything putting them in Are you supposed to be able to feel them? Any tips as to how far to put them in? I'm just confused as to why it won't work cause I have to swim tonight.

Applicator tampons are much easier to use than non-applicator ones as they have a cardboard tube to help insert the tampon, which makes sure it's properly in.
Get yourself in a comfortable position, hold the tampon in the middle and slowly and gently insert the tampon, remembering that the vagina slopes upwards. When you feel your fingers touch your body, push the inner tube inside the outer tube and then pull both tubes out, leaving the tampon inside your body.
If you have inserted it properly, then you shouldn't be able to feel it at all. If it's not fully in then you can push it further with your fingers or try again with a fresh tampon.
It's best to try at a time when you're not rushed and you have a lot of time to get it right. Once you get into them, tampons are a lot more comfortable and fresh feeling than sanitary towels and you'll find them really easy to use. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
