So I really need to learn and I cant ask my mom cuz thats weird so if anyone can give me a website or like explain it that would be awesome!

Answer 1

Get a box of tampons. Every box includes a sheet of instructions. Take the instruction sheet into the bathroom and get to work. Just like all the other girls on earth have done it....

Answer 2

sure... but i think the easiest thing would be to ask ur mom! lol because they'r the only ones that Could really help u! but heres a site that could help u as well :

These instructions should make first time tampon insertion easier:

First, look at the tampon. The larger outer tube that holds the tampon itself at the very end is the top – this is the part that is inserted into the v****a. Think – top = tampon. The thinner inside tube is the one where the string is showing. This is the inner or bottom tube – the part that is used to push the tampon in.

Wash your hands. Stand or sit in a comfortable position. Sit on the toilet with your legs apart and lean slightly forward, or try standing with your knees slightly bent. Standing with one foot up on the tub also works for some girls. Most of the time, you'll end up putting in a tampon while you're on the toilet – so that's a good place to start.

Look at the tampon applicator again – you'll see some ridges, this is the finger grip, on the larger tube. With the thumb and middle finger of one hand, hold the applicator lightly on the outer insertion tube at the grip location, with the larger outer tube facing up toward your body and the thinner inner tube pointing down toward the floor.

With your other hand, gently separate the folds of skin around the vaginal opening. Put the tip of the larger outer tube of the tampon applicator in the opening of the v****a. Are you still breathing?! Don't forget to! It helps you stay relaxed.

The v****a slants upward and toward the back. So, aim the tampon toward a point low on the small of your back (the curved area of your lower back). Now, take a deep breath, let it out, and relax. Then gently push the larger, outer tube of the applicator into the v****a. Stop when your thumb and middle finger are touching the vaginal opening.

NOTE: For flushable (cardboard) applicator tampons, ease in the applicator by slightly twisting or rotating it from side to side. Don't twist a plastic applicator, this slides in best when pushed straight in at the proper angle.

Next, put your index finger (or a finger on the other hand) at the end of the inner, thinner tube (where the cord comes out). Push this inner tube slowly until it's completely inside the larger tube. This pushes the tampon out of the applicator and into your v****a. Move your finger from the end so that the string hangs free. Keep your thumb and middle finger on the outer tube grip.

Now, holding the tubes (that are now inside each other) firmly but gently remove them from the v****a. (The cardboard tubes can be flushed away.) (IF USING TAMPAX PEARL PLASTIC OR TAMPAX COMPAK, DO NOT FLUSH THE PLASTIC APPLICATOR OR WRAPPER.) Place the used plastic applicator back into the discreet wrapper or wrap it in toilet paper and throw it in the trash.) If the tampon is in correctly, you shouldn't feel it at all. If it feels uncomfortable, it's probably not placed far enough into your v****a. The uncomfortable feeling comes from the tampon rubbing against the muscle at the opening of the v****a. If this happens, remove the tampon and use a fresh one, trying to insert it a little deeper into the v****a.

To remove a tampon, relax your muscles. Slowly and gently pull the removal string downward at the same angle you used to insert the tampon. Don’t worry about the string – it’s securely sewn throughout the tampon. If you feel discomfort while removing the tampon, it probably means you didn’t need to change it because it hadn’t absorbed enough yet. You may either want to wear a tampon longer next time or use a lower absorbency.
