Should it hurt to wear a tampon?
I am about to be 15 and I've had sex. Should it hurt to wear a tampon? And how do Oh put it in and what's the best brand? Please help! Thanks so much.

No offense but if you've had seX you should know how to wear a tampon. It's basically a dick but smaller and made out of cotton and it's meant to stay in there for a while. Tampax and Kotex are good. Please have safe sex.

Absolutely not.
If it's hurting while it's in, it's probably too low. Try making an effort to push it in further. If it's hurting to take it out, you're using too low of an absorbency, and that's leaching the moisture out of your vaginal walls, making the tampon stick and tear at your skin. Ouch!
Personally, I always liked using Tampax Pearl, because the plastic applicator is smoother than a cardboard one. It'll take some trial and error before you figure out what you like.
Another option you may not have heard of is the menstrual cup (like the Diva Cup, or the Instead cup). Instead of using a cotton tampon, you pop in a silicone cup that you rinse out a couple times a day. I find it easier on my body and much less icky than tampons.

It shouldn't hurt to wear one. I'm not a girl so you'll need someone else to tell you about brands. I think it depends on flow. This web site called Being Girl has a lot of information including instructions (diagrams) on how to use them that is narrated. It's a site put out by Tampax so it's quite comprehensive.
