Hold the tampon in one hand with your pointer finger on the top of the applicator and your other four fingers at the grip. Using your opposite hand, hold open your labia (vagina lips). Place the tampon at your opening and insert. You want to be angling horizontal, like towards your back or tailbone. Do not angle it upwards! You'll have to experiment a little with how far up to push it, it's different for every woman. Once it's in, you should not be able to feel the tampon itself. You might feel the string or your vagina might be a little sore if you're not used to sticking things up there, but you should not feel the actual tampon. If it's poking at you or is uncomfortable in any way, remove it and try again. It will take a few tries to get the hang of. But good choice...pads are gross! :) [ fbe995's advice column | Ask fbe995 A Question ]
Rena-Chan answered Wednesday December 21 2011, 3:40 pm: When you buy a package of tampons, there is a small pamphlet inside with the tampons with a short illustration on how to insert a tampon.
When inserting a tampon, it may take a few tries to find a comfortable position in doing so, or comfortable insert. Every female is different. Pushing to far back can hurt, but also not putting it in far enough can cause some discomfort as well. I suggest just trying a few on one of your monthly days until you get a hang of it. Always ensure that you take out the previous one before inserting a new one, as leaving it in for too long may cause vaginal health problems. [ Rena-Chan's advice column | Ask Rena-Chan A Question ]
