tampon trouble
*sigh* i've been trying to get used to tampons for about 3 years now... and everytime i try, it never works out. ive only had it actually in 1 time, and that time was terrible because i insterted it wayy to far in and i had to get my mom to pull it out because it hurt soo badly. everyother time i tried, it only went in 1 inch. i cant get it to go in farther than 1 inch. i've tried lots of things. i'm using playtex slender regulars. i've tried putting petroleum jelly on it, so that way it slides better. i've tried squatting down, standing up, laying on my back. but nothing seems to work. everytime i get it in up to an inch, it starts hurting like hell. i told my bff and she said there's a barrier there and it needs to loosen up. HELLPP.... i dont know what to do anymore??

when you insert a tampon, you need to insert the tampon along the bottom wall of your vagina. I would suggest exploring with your fingers. The bottom wall is not as stretchy and spongy as the rest of your vagina. Always insert the applicator all the way to the rings/finger grip, then push the plunger in slowly. If you have the applicator pointing up too much, the tampon will get pushed up in the spongy walls on your vagina. It can be positioned sideways then, and not in properly, this would be uncomfortable. Just remember to relax, go slowly, and keep the applicator parallel with the bottom wall of your vagina. Hope that helps you some. good luck.

I think you're not relaxing your muscles enough, I could be wrong ofcourse, but thats what it seems like.
Tampons aren't meant to hurt you and if it does, there are two reasons.
1. you didn't insert it all the way (because once it's all the way up, you shouldn't feel any discomfort AT ALL)
or
2. you're not relaxing when putting in it.
I can't think of anyother reason that this would happen, but i know from experience that if you dont relax IT WILL HURT BAD.
Hope you work this out!
