I have a hard time inserting a tampon. I'm 14/F and I have a slim body. My mom bought me Slimfits but I only manage to get half of it in. Swimming is about to start and I will need to wear a tampon during my period. I was about be able to do it further a 6 months ago but now I have a hard time doing it! Plus, I have horrible cramps on my first period so I avoid trying to insert a tampon. What can I do?
orphans answered Sunday August 19 2007, 10:51 am: what you need to do is just relax
if your muscles are all tight, than the tampon wont go in, ever
so take a few deep long breaths, and then just relax all your muscles and it should go in without problems
also, if your having problems relaxing your muscles, than try inserting it while sitting down on the ground, and youll relax more naturally [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

If you are inserting in correctly, you should just barely be able to feel it sliding in. It's important to remain relaxed while trying to put a tampon in. Maybe it would be easier for you to put in if you had one leg up on the counter and one of the ground so you have more room. Something else that might work is putting a little lube on the tampon. That should help it slide in no problem. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
