I can get a tampon in but it feels weird...am I doing it wrong?!


Question Posted Friday July 9 2010, 2:59 am

Hi I just got my first period and I need to start using tampons because pads arent working well for me and I dont want period stains at school! So anyways I FINALLY figured out where to put a tampon in and I can get it in now but Ive tried twice but every time I put one in it feels weird and when I bend over it hurts. And when I stand up I can kinda feel it in there and it feel's like it's getting like slowly pushed out and it's the kind of feeling you get when your at the bottom of a deep pool and your blew out all your air and your just sitting there with no air if you know what Im talking about kind of a weird squeezing feeling? Am I putting it in far enough or am I even putting it in right or is something wrong with me!?

The first time I used a tampon I went for what my mother had under the bathroom sink. Huge mistake considering my mother used super, which was way too big for me, and I spent the whole day wondering how women could say they didn't feel it in there. A smaller size made all the difference.
Another common mistake is to insert the tampon as if your vagina is straight up and down when it is really slightly tilted towards your back.
Another thing about tampons-the absolute worst time to insert one is when your vagina is totally dry. When you are ready to change it, take the tampon out before you go to the bathroom so you can give your vagina a few moments to produce some moisture.

make sure when you insert the tampon you don't push it directly straight up, push it towards you at an angle. and make sure the WHOLE tampon goes. the only thing that should be hanging out is the string. it might feel weird at first but you'll get used to it. plus your body is not used to it, so if you use it often (like i do) it will be no problem. and make sure you tuck the string outside your undies so the string is visible, so you can easily pull it out, and you'll see after keep on trying you wont feel it at all! good luck!

Nothing is wrong with you. It sounds like the tampon isn't far in enough. If it's in far enough, it shouldn't feel like it's coming out. You shouldn't really be able to feel it at all.
