k so this is kinda embarassing. im 13 & a female obviously. i've had my period since i was 11, and i've always used pads. mostly everyone that i talk ab that kinda thing w/ uses tampons .. even some of my friends that just got it in the last couple monthes. i really wanna start using them so i dont have to worry ab pads, especially since summer is coming up. any tips or anything? is it true that some people have a tough time putting in tampons? does it hurt? what does it feel like? ill give 5's! thanks so much<3
am-bur answered Saturday March 25 2006, 11:33 am: okay i was the same way with tampons. i was like there is no way IM EVER GONNA USE THEM! but as you said summer is comming up and not being able to go swimming or w.e beause of ur period sucks!
so it might be hard at first to put it in..it take patience because at first you wont be sure exactly where to put it! well obviously you know where it should go! but i suggest you get the plastic and not cardbored! if you get cardbored you'll feel as if it will never work! and get the small ones at first to!
read how you should apply it! most boxes of tampons come with instructions! sounds weird but if you read it. you'll understand more! and if your not on it now! i would wait till you get on it before you try beause it will be easyer to get the tampon it while your own it!

tampons can be rough at first, and if you insert them wrong they can hurt alot. But if it is right them your can't feel them. The directions inside the box helped me alot. You should probably start out with slims. Just remember to relax your muscles and be patient. It can take some time to get used to them. Megz [ megz2009's advice column | Ask megz2009 A Question ]

When you put a tampon in, it doesn't hurt. Well, at least it doesn't hurt me and it's not supposed to. I don't really know how to explain the feelings, but there really is none. The point of tampons is so you can't even feel them. Here is a site that will help you a lot. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) There are couple of pictures but it's nothing gross. You should start of with regular tampons, and if you're really heavy, swich to super later on. Always wear a pany liner just incase a leak happens. Change your tampon every 2-3 hours so it doesn't smell and so you don't get TSS. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
