Tampons.
Ok, so i'm 15 and I just started my period about 4 months ago? lately i've been using pads because i'm waaaaay to scared to use a tampon.
But, pads are really starting to get on my nerves i'm constantly having to check to make sure I didn't bleed through, and they're really uncomfortable I feel like i'm a diaper.
soo here's my question, i've never had sex and i'm really tight so will putting in a tampon hurt for me?

No, most generally, it's fairly simple to insert a tampon and if anything, it may just be a little uncomfortable inserting it until you get used to it. But you should be just fine, friend.

I don't think it'll hurt. I wasn't a virgin when I first used a tampon, but I don't think that has anything do to with it.
I would suggest a tampon with a plastic applicator. Those are much more comfortable. When it's time to put the tampon in, relax. If you're super tense, it'll hurt & you'll put it in wrong. Get yourself at an angle, and insert the tampon.
If you need instructions, the box comes with them. It really isn't hard, but it might take a few tries before you get the hang of it.
Tampons are much better than pads. You don't feel any leaks, & it's rare that you bleed through. I've had it happen, but that's a different situation. If you do happen to worry about bleeding through, just bring a change of clothes to school. Keep them in your locker or your backpack & change if you feel uncomfortable.

I was scared the first time. It might hurt, but do it home and use a mirror. You need to see what you're doing!
You may not get it right away, but if every period you try it, eventually you will get it.
Deffinetly use a mirror, it makes it a lot more comfortable that you are doing it right and will help you calm down while doing it--you will be nervous!
Hope I helped!!

I was definitely scared the first time I used one too. The first time I tried to put it in, I didn't do it at the right angle and I used a cardboard one and it was somewhat uncomfortable, but I wouldn't say it hurt. My advice would be to make sure and get tampons with plastic inserters, not cardboard. So much easier to put in. I like playtex pearl tampons. Start with the smallest size if you're scared.
Also, make sure you angle the tampon upwards, not straight in. Read the directions that come with the box, they're actually really helpful!
Don't forget, you should only keep a tampon in for 4-8 hours. Longer than that could result in toxic shock. Also, don't take out the tampon if it's dry and hasnt soaked much up yet. That is also pretty uncomfortable.

I understand, pads are totally uncomfortable and hard to explain to your little brother when he asks why your pants are making a crinkly noise...
I've never used a tampon, but from advice i've seen before, you'll eventually get used to it. It’s a good idea to use the smallest size tampon when you are learning how to use tampons for the first time. the more you relax, the easier it will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, which can make it harder to insert the tampon.
If the it's done correctly, you shouldn't feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you might have inserted the tampon wrong or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon.
If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, just relax!!! and then try again.
