girl, tampons do not hurt. the only people that say they hurt don't put them in right or have never tried one. they are better than pads x 23059832432042
with tampons:
you can
- swim
- wear a thong
- no one knows you have your period
- it's not smelly
- you can stick it in your pocket and run
- you can easily change it without a mess.
- they're CONVINIENT.
without tampons:
- you can't swim without making the water red
- you can't wear a thong cause everyone can see your pad.
- everyone knows you have your period cause they can see the white flaps
- they're smelly
- you can't stick one in your pocket and run
- when you go to change, you have to touch your bloody pad and roll it up and inhale the smell when, with tampons, you just pull the string, it drops in the toilet and you insert another one.
- they're NOT convinient.
look, the only reason why it would possibly hurt is cause you're not doing it right. you have to stick it in as FAR as the plastic applicator can go. tampons have several parts. the cotton swab which is inside of the plastic applicator, and a small plastic stick that you use to push the cotton swab into your vaj.
although you can't control when you get your period unless you're like on birth control which you're probably not. but to reduce the intensity of your period, you can - excercise - masturbate - or take long, warm baths. all of these reduces cramps and makes your period a shade lighter (well at least for me).
in response to feedback:
- when you're a virgin, your hymen is still in tact, so it's harder for a tampon to go in. the first time you put a tampon in, your hymen (which is just like a layer of mucus) will break, and it might hurt a little. but after that, nothing will hurt. do not be scared. i was scared just like you i was like, "what if the string isn't long enough? what if i put it in too far?" but there's no such thing as putting it in too far. so just stick it up all the way :] g'luck YOUR PERIOD WILL NEVER LEAK THROUGH IF YOU USE THE RIGHT LEVEL . if your period is heavy, use "heavy" tampons, like try PLAYTEX. playtex is the easiest. and do not use tampax!!!

and you can't control when it comes and leaves
the best thing to do is to try a tampon.
