What about tampon insertion hurts?
I've seen a lot of people on here saying that putting in a tampon is painful for them.
I just bought my first box of tampons the other day (Playtex Gentle Glide Regulars) and out of curiosity opened one and inserted the applicator to see how it would fit (don't worry, I did not insert the tampon (meaning i didn't push the inner tube in) because I'm not on my period).
Putting in the applicator did not hurt me at all (I'm a virgin) but, obviously, I don't know how the actual tampon would feel once its inserted.
Bottom Line: Are these girls saying that putting in the applicator is hurting? or the actual tampon insertion (pushing in the inner tube) is hurting?
just curious hehe =)

If just inserting the applicator didn't hurt for you, I wouldn't be worried. When you push the inner tube in, it can hurt slightly if you don't have it at the perfect angle. But if you're fine with inserting the applicator, the rest will be easy:)

That's awesome it didn't hurt for you! ahaha my first time hurt. It's just because they're tense usually and putting in a tampon while you tense is really painful you were probably just relaxed and that's why. And yes the applicator hurts for some girls or if they don't have it at the right angle or slant when they push the tampon up with the applicator it can hurt because it might not be going in the right direction. Hope this helps!

Your fine! If you can get the applicator in you without any pain then the tampon probably won't hurt. Most girls have problems with the applicator.

I just tried out my first tampon last night. It took 3 tries, I tried one time in the morning, one time in the afternoon, and one time at night so that I wouldn't get frustrated. I kinda pushed it in in little pushes. I felt some discomfort, but no real pain. You might confuse discomfort for pain. A menstrual cup looks like a contact lens sorta except bigger with a pink rim around it. You push it into you and you can have it there for 12 hours. it collects blood instead of absorbing it.

When you put a tampon in, it doesnt actually HURT so much as it just feels really really weird. The part that hurts is if you dont put it in all the way, you can feel it in there and its really annoying
also, if you take it out right away (because you put it in wrong or something) it hurts because its dry. thats all. =)

first off if you feel pain while you are inserting that means that you are not doing it properly. its not suppose to hurt when you put it in. if it does stop and try it again. for some the first try is not right.

most likely the actual tampon insertion is hurting them. but that's just them. everyone is different!
