Are tampons supposed to hurt?
Well, I just got my period a couple of months ago. And like a week ago, I used a tampon. Well, anyway, I had a lot of trouble with it, and it was actually pretty painful. Is it supposed to hurt your first time? %% Thanks %%

Hey,
the only reason a tampon will hurt is because its not been pushed up far enough.
Close to the opening on the inside there is a muscle which if you don't push the tampon past it will hurt quite a bit.
Make sure you get the tampon in far enough usually instructions come with the pack.
Also relax while you insert it and it should go in easier without the pain
hope this helps =]..x

I don't think this should be under the Sex Category. It's not about sex. Make sure to try to find a category that best matches your question as possible. And honestly, this category doesn't match your question in the least. >> Sorry. Petpeeve of mine.
To answer your question:
No. Technically it shouldn't hurt, but depending on how you handle pain, it can. It hurt me terribly the first few months. I went through two or three packs of tampons a day trying to get them to fit comfortably and correctly. It's not that they are just flat out hurting you, it's that you aren't putting the tampon in correctly. You can follow those step by step instructions a million times, and it still won't fit right. What you have to do is practice, practice, practice. Buy you a few packs and keep inserting them until it feels right to you. You will feel some pressure in your vagina, and in your lower stomach the first few times you use them. They are in right, it just takes a little getting used to. Keep practicing. Find the right technique that works for your body, and eventually you will be able to correctly and comfortably insert them.

it shouldnt be painful.
the first time putting in tampons i recomend lights because they are thinner and better for begginers. plastics are also way easier and have a more comfortable application than cardboard ones.
my favorite is playtex sport tampons.
good luckk

um those people are wrong.
it shouldn't hurt your first time if you put it up far enough.

Yeah, it will be uncomfortable the first few times you try, but like I use OB so it doesnt have an applicator, i dont know if urs does but sometimes its because you dont get it in far enough,a nd so it kinda hurts to stand up and walk around. you just have to make sure you get it in right, dont give up on it.
they're so much better than pads.
Good luck!
