Okay so, I'm 15, I wanted to start using tampons becuase I havn't yet, but I think I'm having trouble putting it in, or something. It seems like theres a lot of tissue or somehing around the place where I stick the tampon in, is that my hymen? its like I can't put it in becuase its super small, its really hard to explain, and like I don't know if this is normal or not. Its the hole where I stick in the tampon, its just really small I think, and it doesn't really open very easily AT ALL. like I have to use my fingers, and even that doesn't really work. Its really weird, what is that? is it normal? Help! I'm a littl freaked, because if Ican't even put in a tampon, could I not be able to have sex? when I'm older though, I'm not sexually active until like college or something.

hope this helps. [ barneyrocks's advice column | Ask barneyrocks A Question ]
