Girl Stuff: I want to start using tampons.
I'm fifteen and when I'm on my period I usually use pads, but I want to start using tampons. What's a good brand to start off with? For sports also? Because I'm pretty active...
Also tips to putting them in? No websites please, they really don't help. I've only tried putting one in once and it hurt like hell.

when i first started using tampons i tried many times. i found it easy to put in first by using slim tampons. they have a very low absobency, but they are small enough that you wont hurt yourself by putting it in the wrong way. once i got comfortable with those, and using the aplicators, i started to use higher absorbencies. i would recommened tampax pearl over any other brand. after that i would also recommend playtex sport.
application: first either be sitting on the toilet seat or you can be standing up with your leg proped up on somthing, so that your legs are open. then hold the tampon aplicator with your middlefinger and your thumb.. and have your index finger.. or pointer finger.. on the bottom of the applicator.(the skinnier part.) insert the applicator until your fingers are touching your body. then..with your index finger push the bottom of the applicator so that the tampon enters you. then, simply pull the plastic or cardboard applicator with your middle finger and thumb.
remember to chage your tampon regularly.
hope this helps.

I recommend the playtex sport. it's a great brand, and works especially well when you're really active.

The first kind I used were Tampax regular cradboard applacators and I play loaddds of sports and love to be active ... plus I'm 13 .
To try to put it in ... relax and use one hand to like open it all the way...look down and you'll see like this hole thing but its not open and just slide it in there .
Hope I helped ! Inbox me with anyother questions !

i play a lot of sports too, and honestly the brand doesnt really matter. but, what you shouldddd do, is because your a starter, you should buy a slim easy glide one. the slim wont make it hurt, and easy glide makes it so you can barely feel it.
so, for the first time, what you could do is you should sit down then spread your legs as wide as you can go, and then just slowly push it in. make sure your muscles are relaxed. if your all tense, it wont go in as easily, and when it does go in it'll hurt. then push it as far as you can go. if it isnt you'll be able to feel it while your doing your sports. otherwise, you should not feel a tampon while being active if its put in correctly.
so just get a super small skinny tampon that is easyglidee :]
