I have to go to a water park with my family in a week, and I am on my period. I know I need to wear a tampon, but I can't get it in, it really hurts when I try. I don't know what to do! I looked up instructions for inserting them, but I just can't get it in! Thanks for the advice! :)

Dragonflymagic answered Wednesday June 24 2015, 1:13 am: Try a little personal lube and buy only the ones with the plastic applicator and apply to that. It should slide in easy. If it doesnt, you may have a septate hymen which means instead of the hymen being extra skin around the circumferance of the vagina, the opening has a strip of hymen down the middle creating two much smaller entrances and it is too painful and tight to fit anything in. Best to have a doctor look at that. talk to mom. SHe's a female and tell her of your problem. SHe may want to schedule you for an exam with the doctor to have that snipped away. Its an easy procedure with non to little discomfort right after according to other teens who've had it done.
Or, rather than go to the dr. and it not being the case in the end, as embarassing as it may seem, you might want to see if Mom wants to take a look first to see if thats what the problem is. Hopefully, u just need lube. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
