well a few days ago... i started my period and I decided to try tampons for the very first time.
My mom is gone on a business trip, so before she left she bought be the Tampax Sport tampons...
well my period started after she left, so I read the directions and I found the hole, and I stuck it in... I could feel it moving up.. IT FELT SOO GROSS!! am i supposed to feel it moving up?????
after a while, I tried to take it out, but it wouldn't come out.. IT HURT SUPER BADLY!
so i started crying, and luckily my grandma was here... i was embarressed to tell her, but i finally did and she helped me take it out. It hurt really badly and i was crying and screaming.
Is it supposed to hurt that badly?? and i also felt it coming out.. am i supposed to feel it coming out?
when it was inside me... i could feel it as I walked.. and so i knew that it wasn't in right, so thats when i tried to take it out.
my grandma said "why did you push it in so deep?"
so my question is... did i push it too deep? or not deep enough? and how do i do it? I think the next time i wear a tampon, it's going to be when my mom is here.
thnx

Depending on how long it was in, it might have just been there wasn't enough blood in it to come out right. That's normal to, another reason it may have hurt, is it may have been the wrong size. If a tampon is too large then it will hurt coming out just for the fact it doesn't fit. And the third reason it may have hurt is because you may have stuck it in too far. You want to make sure that you put yours fingers on the circles on the tampon (normally right in the middle) and only push it in as far as your fingers will go and then push the tube into the outer tube.

amazingadvice409 answered Wednesday March 14 2007, 8:44 pm: No, thats normal.
When you put a tampon in and it feels weird or you dont like the feeling and take it out right away it will hurt becuase the blood didnt get a chance to soak up the tampon, it will hurt. When i put a tampon in, my best friend is like dont pull it out if it feels weird;; wait a little bit. Best of luckk ! [: <3 [ amazingadvice409's advice column | Ask amazingadvice409 A Question ]

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.
It probably hurt when you pulled it out because you didn't have it in long enough for enough liquid to be absorbed. Either leave it in longer or use a smaller absorbency

BellaItaliana166 answered Wednesday March 14 2007, 5:51 pm: Usually when you wear a tampon, you cant feel them but since this is your first time this could cause a little discomfort. You have to get used to them. Just like pads...you have to get used to wearing them and changing them. When you pulled it out, it could have not had that much blood on it and thats why it hurt so bad. If you need to take it out and you know theres not a lot of blood on it try taking a bath then pulling it out. It helps. Hope i helped you. If you have any more questions feel free to send me stuff. =DD xoxo. [ BellaItaliana166's advice column | Ask BellaItaliana166 A Question ]
