Taking out a tampon
So, I've used tampons multiple times. Every time I take it out there's a piece of my body tissue that wraps around the end of it. i have to take my finger and pull the tissue off of the end of the tampon before pulling it out. This is always an extremely painful process. What should I do???

It sounds like the tampon absorbency you've chosen is too high for your flow. When that happens, the tampon will stick to your skin, and it hurts like crazy to pull it out. Try going down by an absorbency level.
If you are still having trouble, but want an insertable option, try looking into reusable menstrual cups. You can get disposables or ones that are reusable for a full year (like the Diva Cup). I find I don't have the same problems with them that I used to when I was a tampon user because they're made of silicone, which doesn't leach moisture. You can leave it in for 12 hours, take it out and rinse it, then pop it back in. You boil them at the end of your cycle.

It might not be body tissue. It could be clogs of blood which happens. However, it doesn't sound normal or healthy. Make an appointment with a gyno as soon as you can. You need to make sure it's nothing serious & if it is, you can get treated right away.
