tampons first time.
hey, me and my friend were just going through some of the tampon questions and it just confused me more. See I've had my period for about two years now (I'm thirteen) and I get them pretty heavy. I want to try tampons but I'm scared it will hurt, I'll do it wrong, or I'll gett TSS. I want to try it before my period so I don't like mess up but I've heard it hurts. Is that okay to try before and the first time I try is it going to hurt like crazy?

Never try using a tampon when you're not on your period, it'll hurt like CRAZY! It's not 'wet enough' down there to actually pull the tampon out and it'd kill. Wait until you're on your period. It shouldn't hurt if you do it right, and you won't do it right until you practice. Just be patient and relax when you're trying to do it. After you do it right, you can't even feel it going in!

don't try tampons when you dont have your period! it will hurt.
tss is a very rare disease and as long as you remember to take your tampon out every like 5 hours, you wont get it.
it will probably feel uncomfortable your first couple tries. something that helped me when i was first trying was lubricating the tampon. my doctor told me to use a like ky jelly or some kind of lubricant. i would recommend asking your mom to buy that for you or like google it or something to make sure you buy the right one.
make sure you push the tampon up as high as you can, its really uncomfortable if its not up high enough and its uncomfortable to take it out dry.
reading the directions inside the tampon box really help. i recommend the plastic kinds (tampax pearl, playtex sport) over the cardboard kind, theyre easier.
good luck!

ok, I went thru what your going thru now, I'm fixing to turn 25 and once I was able to get over my fears of tampons, You couldn't pay me a million dollars to go back to waddling with a pad on haha. ok, here we go...The tampon consists of two pieces. Stick the piece with the cotton in first (I'm sure you know this duh lol) and with your finger on the end piece, go all the way in till no more of the end piece hangs out. Then you grab that piece and pull it back out. Wha Lah! (Hope that wasn't to confusing? I'm sorry if it was.) I wouldn't try sticking a tampon in when you weren't on your period because it would be dry and would hurt because of that. Tampons really are more sanitary when compared to pads and also they control odor. Give em' a try and if it hurts or feels uncomfortable in any way then it is not in right, or it's to dry. When inserted properly, you shouldn't feel a thing.

everyone says tampons hurt, but they really dont. i've been using them for about a year now, and i would honestly never think about going back to pads. tampons are so much more comfortable. it keeps like you arent even using one. if you practice with tampons before your period, it wont hurt putting it in, but when you try to take it out, it will hurt becuase it hurts taking them out when they are dry. i mean, it wont be a big pain, but it will hurt some. you dont really need to practice with it, because its really easy. you cant really mess it up. but if you want to, go ahead. it will hurt some, but if it will help you be sure that you'll do it right for your period, then try it. as for your afraid of getting TSS, i wouldnt worry about it too much. as long as you dont leave it in for like 9 hours straight, then you'll be fine. usually you'll have to change it after like 4 or 5 hours, so you'll be good.
good luck!=] you'll be glab you started using tampons.

No it's not going to hurt BUT it might hurt if you try while your NOT on your period because your sticking it up there dry.
TSS is very rare to get.
You can't do it wrong. Just make sure you have it up there far enough. The farther, the better. The way you can tell if you have it up there for enough is when your done inserting it, bend over and see if you feel any pain. Then walk around and if you can feel pain or it feels weird, take it out then try again and make sure you put it up far enough.
