How do you put a tampon in?

Question

I don't know how?

Answer 1

When you first start using tampons get a box of Playtex SlimFits. They are made specifically for young teens and first-time tampon users. They have a plastic applicater for easier insertion, a rounded tip for comfort, and they are the smallest and most slender tampons on the market (They're about the width of your pinky finger!). To insert the tampon, use your dominant hand and put your thumb and middle finger on the finger-grips. Use your other hand to spread apart the lips/labia of the v***a and hold them open while you're inserting your tampon. Now get into a comfy position for insertion: you can sit down on the toilet, squat over the toilet, or you can stand up with one leg propped up on the toilet. Do whichever is easiest for you. Remember to relax your muscles to make insertion more comfortable and easier. If you're nervous your muscles will tense up and make insertion really difficult. When you're ready to insert, you should use the tip of the applicater and hold it at your vaginal opening. Then, gently push the applicater inside of your v****a while angling the tampon a little bit upwards, and then to the back towards your tailbone. Keep pushing the tampon in until the finger-grips are right outside of your v****a. After that, put your pointer finger on the skinny plunger and push it into the bigger applicater which is already inside of your v****a. Once the skinny plunger is pushed in completely, you can grab the finger-grips and pull out the applicater and toss it in the trashcan. The string will be left hanging outside of your body, so you can tuck that into your underwear. You should never feel any pain while using a tampon, when inserted correctly you shouldn't be able to feel the tampon at all. By the way, you should type your question into the Yahoo Answers search bar BEFORE posting your question - this question has been answered many times before. Anyways, after using tampons for 2 or 3 years, I strongly recommend switching to a menstrual cup because they are healthier, cheaper, more reliable, stronger protection, no risk of TSS, and are better for our environment. Best of luck!

the first time a put a tampon in was a couple of years ago and the easyiest way for me to start was to set on the toitel with a LIGHT tampon and i took my underwaer and pants off and put a mirror in the floor and then stand up and put one foot on the edge of the toilet and look in to the mirror and there is a "hole" right under wear you pea and take two fingers and spread that "hole" and slide the tampon up at an angel until the tampon aplicater is inside each other... it might hurt the first few times cuase you hymen but the more you practice the more you will get use to the whole tampon thing... when you have to take it out pull the white string a RELAX when you do this or it will hurt like h**l and just flush it down the toilet... wash your hands after each time you use a tampon and dont leave it in more the 8 hours
