I cant get it! What am I doing wrong?
I am 13 years old and ive had my period for just about a year now. I am fed up with using pads because they feel like diapers. My friends tell me tampons are very comfortable and you cant even notice them. Well I have tried putting them in. Umm It would get about halfway in and then whenever I push the thing u use to push the tampon in instead of pushing it in completely the plastic tube pushes backwards. I cant get it to work and it's really frustrating. I did it only one time before. Could someone please tell me what im doing wrong and how to get it to go in all the way?
Thank You so much

I could never figure out how to use the applicators. I think they're weird and messy. It's not like you have to use them. Just remove the tampon from the applicator and push it in with your finger. I believe that you can buy tampons without the applicators too if you wish. Good luck. :)

learning to use tampons takes practice. there should be instructions in the box. follow those and just keep trying. you'll get used to it!

-The tampon consists of the applicator (where the actual tampon is), and the portion that you push into the applicator-which then releases the tampon. You have to use both hands when doing this:
Once you push the tampon in fully, make sure you hold the applicator firmly with one hand (using thumb and middle finger to grasp), and at the same time, push the end of the tampon (second tube) into the first one, using your index finger, or your other hand. This will release the tampon..all you have to do after is dispose of the tube. Some tampons are annoying and slippery and it's hard to get a firm grasp- usually cardboard tampons are like that. I usually use plastic tampons...a lot of tampons now have easy hold applicators- try Playtex gentle glid, or Tampax pearl. Once used correctly, you shouldn't feel it at all. Make sure to use a tampon that's suitable for the amount of flow, and change them every 3-6 hours as needed.
Here's a good website to check out that also includes useful diagrams:
