Tampons


Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 11:09 pm

15/f. Ive never inserted a tampon before but Ive tried a couple times a long time ago. I just feel really uncomfortable doing it and feel like it wont work, or itll hurt. I sort of feel like somethings wrong with me and i will never be able to use tampons. this isnt good because im a sophomore on varsity basketball so its hard with practice and games constantly and a competitive level where you need to play hard 24/7 (with pads..) someone help?

I used my first one a couple weeks ago. I was scared it was going to hurt. It doesnt hurt it just feels wierd doing it. But once you do it you will see that it doesnt hurt and they are wayyyy more comtrable than pads! Especially when you are playing sports, i figured that out cause i play sports too! Trust me, Its not going to hurt!

I believe most everyone goes through this the first time. I know i was scared to death the first time i used one. I to thought it would hurt. For me it didnt hurt but it was extremely uncomfortable. But once i got use to it now to me pads are uncomfortable. I suggest going to one of the sites that the others listed but know that you are not alone. It doesnt mean anything is wrong with you, it can be scarey doing something for the first time but alot of times what seems scarey at first really isnt that bad.

I hope i have helped your confidence in any way.

start with juniors; and make sure you relax when doing it because if not it's harder.

get the tampax pearl (they have the plastic ont he outside so it's easier) and they have very detiled/easy directions :]

good luck!

A lot of girls think that tampons are so scary. Honestly, they're not. If you're really that scared, start using the smallest ones. They'll go in easier and it won't hurt. I promise. Just make sure you put it in slowly and in the right place. Try to position yourself in a way that's comftrable for you. Also, for more information just go on google.com and type in " How to insert a tampon " You won't get anything gross but you'll get good information. Good luck :]
