How come using a tampon hurts?

Question

I'm not a virgin I'm 23 yrs old and have 2 kids, every time i put the tampon it burns and when I'm trying to take it out it hurts alto and i have problems taking it out is not easy, then i feel sore i have only tried it 3 times. any tips?

Answer 1

i can't use them either. i don't know, i think it hurts so much because there's not enough liquid to absorb. i have a kid too so there is no way that the v****a is sill too tight. let's stick to what we know best : pads.

ps. have you tried the menstrual cup?  

Answer 2

Try the lightest absorbency ones...the lite ones.  If you are using a higher absorbency then your flow may be too light for the tampon and therefore it will hurt going in and coming out.  Get the ones with the plastic applicators as they are also easier.  Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I have been told your not supposed to feel ur tampon and that if u do it means that its not inserted correctly..Something u will need to get used to so try more or just go back to what your used to.

goodluck

Answer 4

Sometimes it can hurt taking it out if you haven't left it in for long enough. It slides out better and without that burn feeling if it's been in long enough to absorb a lot. Also, you might be pushing it in too hard or at the wrong angle. Try to angle it towards your lower back.

Sometimes the area becomes swollen and sore at that time anyway and it could be just from that as well.  

Answer 5

Are you using a scented one? That might be the problem.. Or maybe your not using the right size at the right time. Try pulling it out slowing WHILE you pee, it makes it easier.!

Answer 6

i have the same problem. the only thing that helps me is to lie on my bed and put it in. as you can tell, this isn't very practical so i try to avoid using them as much as possible. try different sizes. maybe that will help? you could ask at a pharmacist to see if they have anything that could help you too.

good luck

It sounds like you are maybe too dry! Erm try it when your period is most heavy.

They also make one that has some kind of lubrication on it, I think its a lillets one, have a look in Boots.
