never used a tampon
well, i'm almost 14 and i've never used a tampon. i've had my period since i was 11. i always wear pads and i almost put a tampon in once but i got scared that i wouldn't be able to get it in. is this weird? should i try again? and isn't it true that some girls just can't get it in because their hymen (or something??) is too tough? please help me!!!

A lot of girls are scared to use tampons, especially if it is their first time. Nothing to worry about. Usually they have the instructions on the back of the box. So, just read them and you should be set to go. Make sure you're relaxed when you're inserting the tampon. If you're still having trouble, ask one of your family members that are a girl. I'm sure they'll help you out. ♥

Im fourteen too! I actually got my period when I was eleven so thats kind of odd. I've used a tampon for about 20 minutes. I didn't have it in right. And plus, you can get TSS from it (thats a disease caused by the bacteria of having a tampon in for too too long) I think that pads are uncomfortable and gross. I find tampons hard to put in and they hurt a little at first.. Tampons can pop your cherry though so tell your mom if your going to wear them so she won't think something else happened when you go to the doctors lol... All you have to do is stand up, put the tampon at a 45 degree angle and push it up. It will hurt at first, and it will take a few tries to get it right but you will know when its in enough ( when you can sit down correctly and it doesnt hurt. )
hope I helped.

You should try right after taking a bath, i find it easier that way.

i was in the same exact position my first time i didnt get it in til i was 14 or maybe even early 15.. and im 15 now..lol..i was soo scared but now its nuthin to it. i would try again and you will get good at it and it will be a breeze. you jus need to know how to put it in to make sure its comfortable..but nothing to worry bout read instructions and your set. i would try again.
good luck on everything :)

No, Im pretty sure that everyone can use them. I just started using them also and they are sooo much better than pads. If you need help just ask your mom or search for instructions at google.Make sure you get the round applicator kind.
