Scared to use a tampon. Please help?!?

Just buy a BIG box of them. Every time you need to change pads just try one first. It just takes practice. Eventually you'll get used to it and it will work out okay.

Ok. I'm going to take a shot at this haha. I've NEVER used a tampon. The one time I tried I freaked out and just deal with using pads :)

BUT

I think understand how it works, for some reason, after having a baby.

First stand up and get the applicator out. Keep calm, think of it like a bandaid. You're just going to use a tampon while on your period. No big deal.

Second, keep your legs still and hold the lips of your vagina. This may sound weird, but get a mirror sometime and look at yourself. Yo'll realize quickly where the tampon goes, if you haven't had a good clue as to how you need to put it in.

Third,. you're going in at a slant, remember. So spread yourself apart and find where you're going to slide it in.

Fourth, (this may sound totally weird but bear with me haha) act like you're going to pee, to open yourself up kinda, and push in the applicator. The push the tampon out of it and then pull the applicator out.

Fifth, if you didn't stick it up far enough, or you're too dry meaning your period probably isn't heavy enough for the 'regular' tampons and maybe you should look at the smallest size for the beginning days, then the tampon wil come back out with the applicator and you'll have to try it again.

Like others said, it;s just something you gotta get used to. When the day comes when you have sex, if you haven't yet and not saying anyday soon or anything, just referencing to something new for your body, you will have to get comfortable and find your comfort zone right? So don't give up, if you really want this. BUT don't push yourself to use the tampons cuz your friends do because then you're not doing it to convenience yourself.

SO good luck :) hope i helped alittle!

It might hurt as you're putting in the 1st couple times, but that's normal. It should NOT hurt when its in there properly.

Try the smallest sized tampon you can at 1st.

Try on the heaviest day of your period so you'll be "slippery" and wet inside. A good position is with your foot up on the toilet or if you stand with your feet wide apart and stoop.

Be sure you are putting the applicator far enough in your vagina. Try putting it in there about 1/2 way. Then push the tampon in.

You just have to keep trying and you'll get it. When i 1st started using them it took a few times before i got it perfect.

It is definitely a little uncomfortable at first- try using slender or light tampons. If you have no luck with those, wait for awhile. Just use pads until you can work up to the comfort level that using tampons would require.

You can also talk to a doctor or gynecologist to see if they have any suggestions :]

Tampons are undesirable for you in case you place on them for years. (prolonged touch). That being suggested. i've got used regularly occurring plastic applicator tampons for a 12 months. here is the thank you to define your vagina/"hollow": a million.once you're bleeding, the place is the blood coming from? it is your vag, its fairly on the brink of your uretha (the place you pee) 2. as quickly as you have got here across it, insert a finger in the experience that your gentle with that. If no longer experience around close to the hollow. in case you inserted your finger, locate your hymen (close to the hollow) and experience alongside the organic perspective of your vagina, angled in the direction of your back. Tampons from time to time harm to eliminate in case you chosen the incorrect absorbency (too intense) or in the experience that your no longer removing it on the wonderful perspective. (the perspective at which you inserted it.) The decrease the absorbency, the smaller the tampon which makes it less demanding to insert. purchase regularly occurring plastic applicator tampons. organic and organic tampons are fit for you yet they fee extra and have cardboard applicator tampons, that are harder on the commencing up. i'm swithching to textile pads and menstrual cups!

it feels like i sent this question in. i was in sophomore year when i first used a tampon, after lying to my friends about it for years.

to be honest, i probably used a good box and a half of tampons before i finally got one to go in. i got angry, cried, broke them, threw them away, got them dirty, you name it. it was very, very frustrating.

you just have to keep trying. one day i tried, and it just worked. no pain, no awkward uncomfortable feeling. there's such a slight chance that your body actually physically can't have a tampon it, it's likely that you're just not putting it in at the right angle.

keep trying. buy boxes if you need to, lol. it's easy to spread your legs a little bit and have it angled towards the small or middle of your back, i think.

I don't like them either but they will feel uncomfortable until you get used to them so try to use them on the weekend or when you are at home so you wont look weird when you walk like you are in pain or having discomfort but that's all I can say they just are not for everybody so good luck.

ok this is what you do

1. relax take a deep breath....,sit on the toilet and spreed your legs

2.get the tampon and unwrap it

3 put it in your vagina until you can feel your MIDDLE finger and your THUMB on the lips of the vagina

4 with your MIDDLE finger push it in

5 stop when your MIDDLE finger has reached your THUMB

6 the take the applicator out

7 if you fell its not in right DON'T TAKE IT OUT!!! its dry and it WILL hurt, get your MIDDLE finger and push it in

that's it

to remove it just pull on the string, this should not hurt it should just slip on out

i know exactly how you feel. i used to feel so gross wearing pads, but i could never get comfortable enough with using tampons. this may sound REALLY weird, and immature, but maybe you could try turning yourself on or something. if you do it right it might work.

Try to face your fear. Self control. If you want this bad enough you can do it. Remember, it's perfectly normal and nothing to feel nervous or ashamed about.
