tampon nerves
I REALLY want to try tampons. I've tried it once and it wasn't good. so i just use pads. But whenever i want to try tampons, i keep chickening out!!!!
is there anyway to get confidence and just do it?

I know how you feel, when i started using tampons i kept panicing and they felt reallyyyy uncomfortable (and it was the smallest one:|!) but i guess that was because it was new. What i did was buy a box of tampax which contained 3 different sizes of tampon and had a plastic applicator ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) which helped so much as i'd tried the non applicator ones before and it was just annoying i never got it far enough and i always felt it there whereas when you use the applicator it goes in the right place and you basically don't feel it like you do when those pads stick to your damn leg! Then i just experimented with them, i know it makes you want to cringe probably, but you're the only one who knows you're doing it lol! That way you get to know how to put it in properly so it's comfortable and you feel secure. When i found the right size i bought just that size (they're even pink now, smell nice and have little skirt like tabs to make sure you don't 'leak')
What i'd say is just buy a packet then you will think to yourself, well i've bought it now so i might aswell try it lol.

It should solve any issues you have with tampons and tell you how to do it properly etc. I think if you read all the questions etc on that website it should boost your confidence a lot:)
Hope that helps:)

Just make sure you have the right size and brand of tampon. I don't know about other people but from experiance, I think Pearl tampons are the best. If you put it in and it hurts, it is either too big of a tampon, or you put it in wrong/too far. Just go for it is all you can really do, make sure you are prepared with the right tamps.
