tampons
i just tried taking one out for the first time dry because i put it in wrong and it hurt cause it was dry...s a tampon easier to take out if it is like, full?
Also, How far does it go in? if i separate the flaps a lil bit, should i be able to see part of the tampon?

well, they deffinetly are way less comfortable coming out when theyre dry. but cardboard is always uncomfortale, so try playtex sport or tampax pearl, both of those are the most comfortable of the brands, in my opinion. if you "open your lips," no, you shouldnt be able to see the tampon. you should, however, be able to see the string. playtex has a knot in the end of the string, to make them easier to grip & pull out. whenever i use them, my personal preference is to put the tampon all the way in, which leaves the string hanging out about an inch. it just insures a better fit & less leakage. you shouldnt go more than 6 hours without changing your tampon, but you sleep about 8-10 hours per night on average, and i figure if you can leave them in for that long while your sleeping, it wont kill you to not be able to change them for that long during the day for whatever reason. so dont freak out & worry about leaking (unless you on your first day-heaviest flow.) but i wudnt recommend it.. hope i helped! -ali 16/f

Yes, sometimes it hurts going in..especially if your flow isn't really heavy and you've just began learning to use them. I've found that if (graphic stuff coming) you prop one leg on the toilet while inserting, it makes it a bit easier.
I would highly recommend that on lighter flow days that you use the smallest sized tampons available -junior size, or just use thin sanitary pads like "Always" especially because of the rare, but real possibility of Toxic Shock Syndrome.
It sounds like your using the type of tampon that doesn't have the "insertion thingy"? And some of them do spread depending on what kind you buy. I believe that the Tampax ones don't "seperate", but Playtex and the ones without inserters do.
Personally, I prefer the Playtex ones that have the plastic inserters. MUCH MUCH more comfortable going in than cardboard ones!
On the Playtex ones there is a "line" on the tube that shows how far to place it in before pushing it in.
Yes, they are easier to take out when full, but again DO NOT exceed the recommended time of wearing them because of TSS.
On the ones that don't come with inserters you push it in until it goes as far as you can put it, without pushing excessively.
Hope I've helped!
