Question Posted Thursday February 14 2008, 8:28 pm
could you guys give me a step by step thing on how to put a tampon in? my mom just makes everything sooooo embaressing. and its just horrible with her. so is all i'd have to do is ask her for some, not have her teach me. please don't try to get me to talk to her about that. just a step by step please.
Now, take a tampon out of the plastic package and have a good look at it. One end is the curved bit, which is what will go in. The other end has the string hanging out; the string will also hang out of your vagina once the tampon is inside.
You see how part of the applicator is skinnier than the other? This is because this bit gets pushed in - it's how the tampon gets pushed into your vagina, as well.
There should be a bit that has ridges on it. Hold the tampon with your thumb and middle finger (or whatever feels comfortable). Now insert the tampon into your vagina - aim it at your lower back, as your vaginal canal isn't straight up and down. When your fingers holding the ridge bit bump up against your vagina, stop. Then push the skinny end into the big end.
If a tampon is properly inserted, you should not feel it. If you do, you can use a finger to push it in a little further.
Be sure to read the instructions carefully, as they will give you information about how often to change your tampons, etc. It is important to NOT wear tampons unless you have your period.
