Proper way to pull out tampon
Don't laugh.
I put in a tampon for the first time today. I am on day 2 of my period but I've always used pads up until now.
I put the tampon in and I don't know how to remove it. It hurts when I pull on the string. I tried to take it out an hour ago but it hurt really bad then too so I waited. I've had the tampon in for a long time now. The tampon has been up there for almost 7 hours so I know it's time to come out.
How can I remove the tampon without hurting? Why does it hurt to remove a tampon? Will this pain go away? I'm scared and I don't want to tell my dad because it's embarrassing. My mom died a few years ago so I can't ask her and I don't have a close woman to talk to.
Please help me

Oh my god. This happened to me my first time trying to wear a tampon too. I was crying like crazy though. Lol.
Anyway, all you have to do is fill up your bath tub just a little bit. (maybe like three/four inches high of water ,that's all you need) Sit in it & pull out the tampon while your in the water. I did it & it came out with no troubles.
Hope I helped. <3

You're probably having trouble because the tampon is too dry. That happens when you use one that's too absorbent for what you need.
There are a few things you can do:
- soak in a bath (and maybe the water will soak into it and loosen it)
- if you have any lube kicking around, you can try to use that
- try peeing, and it might dampen enough for you to get it out.
In the future, you'll probably want to avoid using anything more than a regular absorbency when your period isn't super heavy. I tend to avoid tampons when I'm really light just because this always seems to happen!
