My Tampon Hurts
I have had my period for around 8 months, and have only used tampons a couple of times. I am a really light bleeder, so i use tampax pearl light. the problem is whenever i take my tampon out it hurts SO bad that it usually takes me 15 minutes to get it out. && also i leave it in for about 10 hours, and this still happens. The tampon is usually about half full or more. I wouldn't use them except I am going to vacation next week to the beach, and I am going to HAVE to use them. How can I make it STOP hurting? :(

Hey there, it's important not to leave them in for more than 8 hours, it can lead to infections. As for the pain (assuming we're talking about pain due to friction as the tampon slides out), go to your local drug store and get a bottle of "KY jelly" personal lubricant. It's inexpensive and available over the counter. Before you remove your tampon, squeeze a bit of jelly on to your finger, insert it and rub it on the inside of the vaginal wall as far in as you can reach and around the opening. This will not only reduce friction, but will also protect the delicate skin as the tampon passes. If inserting the tampon is also painful you can use the jelly in the same way for this also. KY Jelly is water soluble and harmless, it will wash off in the shower.

Do not leave them in for longer than 8 hours.
You aren't bleeding enough for them.
If it were wet, it would just slide out...no pain at all.
My suggestion is to take it out in a bath. It sounds kinda gross, but this way, it'll be wet and so it shouldddd slide out easily.

Use a pad, or if you really want to use a tampon...
Masterbate, you'll naturally get uh, wider.
