i'm going away and i'm probablyyy going to get my period, just cause im that unlucky...i just started using tampons last month towards the end of my period but i've never been in water with them...im afraid its going to just leak everywhere and be really embarrasing. im using tampax pearl..i can also feel it up there...i thought i stuck it pretty far up there...it didn't necesarily hurt (only when i took it out) but i felt it. do i just have to get used to it? or are you absolutely not suppose to feel it? thankyouuu!
LOL_x0x answered Thursday August 6 2009, 11:39 am: It's totally normal to be nervous about using tampons for the first (or second) time. Just know, that it won't leak. That's the entire point of them.
As for if you should "feel" them, it varies. Some girls do, some don't. If it hurts for you, you're probably putting it in wrong. If you just feel it and know it's there, give it time. Your body isn't used to having a tampon in, so it has to adjust :)

Sweet_LiL_Angel answered Wednesday August 5 2009, 6:20 pm: I use the same tampons and I love them. Well im pregnant now so i cant use them for several months any ways last time i had my period. I went swimming.. just make sure you stick it in good before you go and you shouldnt have any problems. professional swimmers use tampons during practice meets etc. you cant help when you get your period.. not sure if this will help but when you take it out place your foot up on the toliet or bath tube squat a little and pull it doesnt hurt as bad.. mine used to hurt alot when i first started using them. but you start to get used it.. may take a while though.

Well, you're not supposed to feel them. So, maybe you're not sticking it up far enough.
But, then again, some girls say when they sit down..they can feel it. Just try pushing it up further.
