Question Posted Saturday September 17 2011, 3:47 am
Im a 19 year old female and im struggling with using a tampon. I have had sex, and can guide my finger, however when it comes to a tampon and inserting one... i'm hopeless! i've gotten to that point where i need to rely on tampons, i want to be able to not be limited because i cant use a tampon whilst on my period.
I follow the directions on the packaging and the suggested positions and everything, and even used slim tampons designed for first time use....and i just cannot do it. I dont understand when i can fit a penis and my finger, yet as soon as i even start to put the tampon in, it begins to expand and i cant put it in further, i know its not in far enough because the bottom is still visible and i know its suposed to be a finger length deep inside.
Ive gone through several tampons trying to sucessfully insert one. and sometimes they have been painful trying to get out because they've already absorbed liquad and are huge. I dont know what to do :( i really want to be able to use them, so i can go swimming with my boyfriend, not have the uncomfortableness of a pad, be able to have one handy in my handbag more discreetly then a pad etc etc.
