First time tampon use?
I'm kind of worried about my situation. My friend is having a swimming party tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it, but I just got my period yesterday. I've only used pads and have tried to use tampons but have been unsuccessful. I know my period won't be over by tomorrow, so can anyone give me tips on using tampons? I can never get it up all the way because I feel the tube and then I chicken out. I also got it in one time, but I must've not put it up all the way because it hurt a lot. Any help would be appreciated! Thx!

use Kotex light days! its the best! it may be hard to get it in for the first time because your still tight down there. completely relax and insert into the opening. once you get the tube out, the tampon its self doesn't hurt. stay calm, its going to be okay! i was scared the first time too! its not bad at all!

I actually prefer active tampons and I know tampax has a new type. They're called tampax active light slender fit. (I have them) especially if you'll be swimming. It will hurt down there the first couple times you do it. Your opening is still very, very, very tight. Relax. It hurts more when your tense. Try menstrual cups too! I use both for gymnastics.
