ok i tried to use a tampon this morning...and i never have before, but i just need to know everything you can tell me about then. when i put it in it kinda went in sideways and when i thought i had it in it hept sliding out. now i think its finally in but how far should it go up? im worried if it goes too far i wont be able to get it out!! and how long should you keep it in? and do you wear a pad with them and do they leak? or after a certain time do they leak.
anything would be appreciated!!
thanks xxx

Good luck! And remember, once you put in a tampon, your whole life will get easier. (:
