Tampons

If it hurts when you pull it out, then you're using too high of an absorbency. Light or junior tampons are great-but I've found that for the lat day or so of my period, the flow is so light that I can just use pantyliners.

 

I can't believe I am sharing this! But it's so funny, and what good is life if you can't laugh at yourself?? So here it goes. I woke up for school one morning, and was very out of it very very tired. I put a new tampon in. I was so jumbled and confused, by the time I had to leave for school, I thought I forgot a tampon... I failed to notice the string from the first one, and put two in!! lmao. I felt smart. Later when I went to use the bathroom I had figured it out, I was wondering why it felt a little uncomfortable down there!

 

I would hate to be her. but i was in the same boat when i first statred using them too,i didnt know what i was doing,but like everybody says you will love them once you get the hang of it. IT'S ALOT BETTER THAN THEM NASTY OLD PADS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

righto um.
i dont wanna freak anyone out here but ive got my first one in right now. how much are you supposed to feel? like are u supposed to feel absolutely nothing? coz i can sorta feel that its there and for the first half hour i was walking around thinking if i sit down it might slip out. but i used an applicator and am pretty
sure i got it in right....
oh and it kinda hurt at first going in... is that.... not cool?
oh the joys the womanhood. thank god for these anonymous forums!!

 

No, you're not supposed to feel the tampon while it's in. It shouldn't hurt going in either, unless you have a very tight hymen. If you're not a virgin, there's no reason a tampon should hurt going in. It's probably not far high up enough (I do hope you did remove the applicator, I've heard of girls forgetting to do so). Try again when you need to change it.

 

When you put the applicator in, you hold it at the mid-point...where the plunger-part starts. You need to insert it far enough until your fingers touch your body, then push the plunger part. I personally use OB, the kind w/o the applicator. It's easier to control how far you insert it, and there is less garbage.

 

righto thanks guys

 

i'm almost 21, i've given birth twice...and i STILL can't figure out the damn things. You'd think i could have caught on by now, but nope. Sure does SOUND easy though, hahaha!
