Putting in a tampon?
I'm 13 years old (female, obviously) and I need to know how out a tampon in but I don't know where to find my vaginal opening while pushing the tampon in. The tampon feels weird when I try to put it in and I get scared sometimes because I don't want to get an infection. Thank you!

First, best tampon to use is the smallest size that comes with a plastic applicator. You may also want to have personal lube like KY jelly or ask Mom if you could borrow hers and apply it to the plastic applicator. The easiest way to apply is standing with one foot up on a closed toilet seat. You obviously know where your anus is, where you poop from. Other than your pee hole which is way too small to fit a tampon in, the only other opening down there is your vagina. Just relaz cus if you tense up, the muscles tighten and make it more difficult. You may go thru several half aborted attempts to get a tampon in before having success.
Hon, dont worry, the majority of females always have trouble the first time doing this. I did, all my 3 daughters did and know from talking with close friends its the same story there.
The biggest error is in not pushing the tampon in far enough. There is a ring of muscles which if the tampons doesnt go in far enough past it, the muscles will sense something in the way
which makes it very uncomfortable to walk, sit or move at all. There should be no tampon left showing...only the string with which to tug on to remove it.
Dont worry about pushing it in as far as it can go, the vagina dead ends at your cervix and the cervix is only open when theres a baby being birthed. So you can't lose it in there. Good luck.
