i got a tampon in for the first time about an hour ago. it was ok at first and i didnt feel it, but now its beginning to hurt, mainly if im siting down, it burns. is this normal since its my first time using one? ive tried pushing it in/pulling it out a little to see if its not in properly, and that helps for a few seconds but then its just back to the burning. whats goin on?

next time, try to put it almost as far as you can, and dont pull it out, because then it will hurt when you walk/sit/etc

* Some people just can't wear tampons - it's too uncomfortable for them.
* You could have inserted it wrong - refer to the instructions in the box.
* You might not have pushed it in far enough - You have to insert it the full length of your finger.
* You might be too dry - Try putting a bit of lubricant or vasoline on the end of the tampon and insert it again. This will make it a bit more comfortable.
I'd say it'd probably be the last one because you say it's burning so you could just be dry.
QueenVicki answered Saturday November 18 2006, 3:10 am: It might not be inserted correctly. I'd take it out and try another one. Be sure to angle it toward your back as you insert it. Once it's in you should give the string a little tug to get it into the correct position. I'm wondering what type you're using. I personally can't use anything other than the plastic applicator tampons. Also, you might not have the right absorbancy in. Sometimes if my period is light and I try to use a regular flow tampon it will start to get pretty uncomfortable. Tampons are such a pain. I guess in your case, that can be taken literally.
