tampon troubles.
i'm 14/f and i've had my period for about 2-3 years now and i HATE pads so much. i've tried to put a tampon in so many times but whenever i do i don't know exactly where to put it and it doesn't just slide in easily do i force it in? will it hurt? how long can you keep it in there? when you take it out do you just pull the string? i've never stuck anything up there before. i'm so desperate any advice would help. thanks soo much!

It's a little tricky to get the hang of it at first but after a few tries its really easy. If you are a virgin you should probably try using a smaller size at first such as Junior sizes, Lites or Regular size. Then it is helpful to sit on the toliet with your knees apart, and relax. If your not relaxed it makes it harder to insert! so take a few deep breaths. Hold the applicator with your thumb and middle finger with your pointer finger on the bottom of the applicator. Insert the tip of the applicator (try to angle it towards your lower back) all the way,then push the bottom of the applicator with your pointer finger until you hear or feel a click, then remove the applicator. If its in right you wont feel it at all, if it feels weird take it out and try again. Don't worry its normal to have a little trouble.
You can usually keep them in for 4-6 hours depending on how heavy your flow is. And to take it out you just pull the string.

I advise you to keep using pads...
if your a virgin I think its best you keep it that way because tampons can tear your hymen hole if inserted in to hard or forced in I belive your to young to be wearing a tampon and you have had your period for 2-3 yrs give it a couple more.
do some research on tampons and stuff
I rather you keep using pads they wont hurt yes they feel like diapers but they are much more comfort then stick something in your virgina hole and if you 4 get to take it out you can catch a disease they can stop you from having kids i read on it.

You're supposed to push it past the bony ridge, so you don't feel it. But one dangerous thing about tampons, is since you can't feel them, ( & you should have a new one every 3 hours) people forget to put in a new one so they catch some bacterial disease. Just a warning!

it goes in the hole where the blood comes out and use a plastic tampon, like tampax pearl and esp if you just start your period, it should just slide on up there.
