my cycle has been regular for a long time, but i have issues with tampons. Every time I try to put one in (i'm inserting it correctly) and i get to the point where you have to start pushing the applicator in with your index finger, it will go in like 2/3 of the way and then there are about 3 centimeters of it that i can't push inside the tube and it feels like it's poking against the end of my vagina and it hurts really badly, then i just have to leave it where it is and pull the applicator out.
Is this my hymen? Because I do insertive masturbation a lot so I thought it was already broken. Or is it just that i have a short vagina?
okay the girl under me & keosha are really really wrong. it may very well be your hymen which is not yet broken. & i mean you can use whatever type of tampon you like, but playtex slimfits for the first time are really nice. tampax tampons hurt really bad, even for someone like me who has had her period for like three years and has tried lots of different types. tampax tampons are like square, and vagina's aren't square... so they really hurt, and i can always them inside of me. i def. suggest playtex. however, if you feel that it is already broken, you probably need to insert the tampon at a certain angle because otherwise, it will hit your vaginal walls and that is what causes it to really hurt. tampons do not hurt if used correctly. so, just try moving the tampon in a 360 degree motion until you feel it slide in easily. if it never happens, just push it in and break your hymen cause otherwise, you'll never be able to use tampons cause it will hurt too much. sweetie, there's no such thing as a short vagina cause honestly, the tampon can go way deep into your body - but it eventually stops when the plastic applicator stops. make sure you spread your legs REALLY far so it's nice and open & easier to insert. check out this website.

No you Hymen doesn't have anything to do with it not going in. I would say either your not doing it right so maybe you could go online an look up some different stuff online on how to insert it an all the different information with it. Or this could possibly be happening because your body isn't used to it you know. So you might just want to stick to pads an as far as swimming an stuff just sit out beside the pool or tell your friends you rather go do something else rather than playing in the water. Hope I helped ya out some!
