I probably read like 400 tampons questions on this website and other websites. I worked up the courage to try to put a tampax pearl tampon in. I was thiking oh it will probably be a bit uncomfortable or painful but will slide in. I couldn't even get the first step done, inserting the applicator, i inserted about an inch of the applicator into my vagina, and it felt HORRIBLE! like if i went any further my vagina was going to burst open or rip apart or something, it felt like my body was telling me DONT STICK THAT THING IN HERE!! Like, it physically WOULDN'T GO IN unless I like jammed the thing up at 50 miles per hour. Maybe because my 'hole' is so small. It really is, it looks like I couldn't even stick a pea up there. Also, I tried multiple times sticking it in at different angles and positions. Still got the same feeling. What am I doing wrong! Please help! I want to wear a tampon. :(
There are PLENTY of women who go through their whole lives not wearing a tampon. Some women simply don't like them, and that's ok.
And another thing, I don't know how old you are, but you should be of a certain age to be even trying this. Especially if you are a virgin, your body may not be ready for this yet.
I'm sure this is not the answer that you wanted to hear since you stated that you want to wear one. But listen, everyone in this world is different and needs to do things in their own way and in their own time! What is right for someone else may not be right for you, at least not right now. So please, don't feel a need to rush this when you are obvious uncomfortable with it. Have enough confidence in yourself to do what's right for you, instead of just what everyone else does. THAT is the true sign of maturity. [ rubytuesday's advice column | Ask rubytuesday A Question ]

If your body is telling you no, listen to it.
You might wanna wait a little bit. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
