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?

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.

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 :] [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
