ughhh.
i'm in 9th grade & i still haven't used a tampon yet. i'm just really scared to stick something up there.. i almost did it one time but it like wouldn't go up or i wasn't doing it right or something. i want to use them really badly though, and i feel stupid that i've had my period for 3 years & still haven't used one. can someone tell me what it feels like the first time you use it, and how i shold put it up there and stuff?

Don't feel stupid, I've had my period since I was 12 (I'm 16 now) and I don't use tampons. Don't really have an urge to.
But, darling, there are instructions on the package! Follow them, and good luck!

hi
im 13 and i got my period last year. I've used a tampon heaps of times and they are very convenient. Don't feel stupid, there are a lot of people in your situation, and there are definitely lots of people who feel the same way that you do about using tampons.
My advice is this: Read the instructions that you get in the tampon packet, don't leave the tampon in for more than 4-5 hours, and ask your mum or someone you trust for advice. Remember, most people are only too glad to help you if they have been through it before! Good luck!

It's no big deal at all! A lot of people choose not to use them. It is totally up to you. Here is a great site that provides step-by-step instructions of what to do:

Generally, you can't really "feel" a tampon in you. Maybe right after you for the first few minutes or so, but try to get it up as far as possible. (You won't get it stuck up there!) Don't pull it out if it's not full (after 4-8 hours depending on your flow and the absorbency of the tampon). If you need to sooner for whatever reason, you may want to try peeing because it will moisten it and be easier to get out. For the first time you should pick a low grade absorbency like Slim Fit or Regular.
Good luck! :)
