Is it normal for your first tampon use to hurt?

Question

OUUUUch lol I started my period basically a year ago and until just now I didn't use tampons. Welllllll, I JUST tried it a second ago and now I kinda hurt down there. Normal??

Answer 1

u probably didn't put it in all the way take out and try a new one and make sure none of the actual tampon is sticking out of the v****a only the string

Answer 2

u just need to relax..you were probably just scared and u got tighter in that area

Answer 3

I'm not exactly an expert on this, seeing as I can't use tampons (I pass out when I get them in). But I DO know that they shouldn't hurt. They've never hurt for me, and my body has some problem with them. You probably don't have it in all the way. Make sure the applicator is all the way inside of you (till your fingers touch skin), and then push the clicker-thing that pushes the tampon inside of you. You shuld,t be able to feel anything once it is in you.

Answer 4

I felt the same way when I tried. Don't worry, it probably wasn't inserted correctly. Follow these steps:

1. Put one of your legs on the toilet seat or edge of the bath tub. Some women finds this relaxes them. You need to be as relaxed as you can be.

2. Unwrap the tampon and push it in, stop when your fingers touch your body. You may want to use a mirror to find your v****a.

3. Make sure none of the tampon is hanging out, and that there is a decent ammount of string to help remove it. If it is inserted correctly you shouldn't be able to feel it at all.

Good Luck :)

Answer 5

I'm 15 and I've been using tampons since I was 11, if you've had s*x and your hymens not broken, or as others call your 'cherries popped' then it may hurt but most people don't realize that your not supposed to feel the tampon it has to be in there all the way, so try putting your leg on the bathroom counter and looking in the mirror if its all the way in the hole. If you did it right you shouldn't feel a thing.

Answer 6

for me it did. ya its probably not in all the way or u just need to relax. it took me a few tries until I got comfortable with it.

Answer 7

its fairly normal for your first tampon to hurt, try using something like vasiline or some sort of luberication to help you put it in, it sounds weird but it makes it a lot easier. dont force it and take your time, it should just go in very easily with the lube so just be pacient =].
