4 years.. no tampon
i'm in ninth grade and i started my period in 6th grade. i still haven't used a tampon yet. i know people that just started their period, like, a week ago and they are already using a tampon. i guess i'm kind of scared to put it in.. i tried a couple times, but didn't go through with it. should i just suck it up and do it? does it hurt? is there any chance that i, like, won't be able to put it up there? i'm just scaredddd. any advice?

My sister has the same problem she got her period in 6th grade and is now in 11th grade a still can't use one. She says it really hurts her when she trys. She was going to go to the gyno but never did. If it hurts you a lot just try that, i personally haven't tried yet...just be calm because when u stress you tense up and it harder to put in lol hope i could help <333

Just get over it! Haha. It doesnt hurt. It feels awkward the first couple of times but it doesnt hurt.

Whether or not you should do it is up to you. I personally prefer tampons because they're less mess and they don't need to be changed as often. Plus you don't feel like you're wearing a diaper.
It may hurt a little the first time you try to get it in (and back out) but it won't be too bad. Usually tampon boxes will come with instructions and diagrams on how to use a tampon and that should help a lot.
A few things I suggest, though - do not try to put a tampon in when you're not on your period. And when you're putting the tampon in, as the directions will probably say, make sure you push it all the way in - and if you feel something stopping it before you get it all the way in, just move it around a little and it should slide in easier. Getting it in all the way ensures that when you're wearing it and when you take it out, it won't be as uncomfortable as it would otherwise be.
Other that than, just be careful. Don't put it in or take it out too fast, wash your hands before and after, etc. Also visit this site for help and for information about TSS (toxic shock syndrome) and other very useful information: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Of course, don't feel pressure to use a tampon just because everyone else does. Tampons may not be for you. If you have a particularly light flow, pads may be a better option for you. It totally depends on how you feel.

well dear you should tell your mom! she should definetly help you with that. if you dont live with or mother or what have you ask another trusted female guardian or authoritive figure. ya know someone your close too. you should start with a small size and read the directions on the box VERY carefully. TSS or Toxic Shock Syndrom can be deadly. (its when you leave the tampon in too long.) its a natuaral womenly thing and tampons are much much MUCH easier and much less messy than pads. Good Luck darling!

i kno some adults who still use tampons, its just your choice. it doesnt hurt to use tampons and you just have to slide it up and down on your "v" until it goes in. maybe talk to a relative like your mom, or a close friend for some advice.
