Question Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 6:40 pm
I'm 16 and never used a tampon before. I used a mirror and realized that when i part my vagina with my fingers, there are these very light pink, slimy flaps as well. Where do i put the tampon if theres this thing blocking? I was futzing around with my finger placements, trying to move it around so maybe there was a hole i couldnt see very well, and i think there might be one if i stretch the outer flaps where i can push right past these inner ones.
Is that the hymen? Do i have to "break" this? I tried putting the tampon right on it and it felt VERY uncomfortable and i couldnt touch it without it not feeling good....so how am i supposed to stick something UP there? Im so confused.
you just have to practice. if it hurts to walk once you get it in, then it's not in far enough. if you have it in right you shouldn't be able to feel it.

Honestly,
that's what a vagina looks like. Weird huh? There are many differnt flaps and things and it seems like there's no where to go. Where you put your tampon is the hole which is your vagina. The Directions show that.
AND NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BREAK YOUR HYMON. You're hymon is a soft layer of blood that stays until you are figered up high or have sex. It usualy won't pop because of a tampon.
I wish you the best of luck. And remmeber, inserting one for the first time will be painful and frustrating. But the only way to go it is to relax. You'll do fine.
