Tampon question....?

Question

So Im a 15 year old still struggling to figure out how to use a tampon.I was a bit happy to give it a shot finally but unfortunatlly I had no luck.I used the portable ones [we only had those around] and they seem kind of stiff but I'm guessin that's normal.I can't find where in the world is the 'hole' down there.My first try it only got half way.My second try got a bit messed up.And on my third try I decided to leave it 3/4 of the way but it was painfully grusome so I took it out.I read the instructions they gave but wow they suck.I feel really down now cause I have to continue with the pads for now.Any help please.

No kidding, right?!  Sounds like my first time!  okay... Use a tiny bit of lube on the tip if you are having insertion issues...a water based lube is better, but vaseline would work if its handier.  relax.  make sure that you are having a good flow, you cant and shouldnt use it if you are spotting and not on a full flow; lubrication is everything.  Do your travelers have an applicator?  If not, find some with a rounded applicator.  And Relax:)  Take your time, lay flat on your back if it would help, and use a mirror to find your vaginal opening.  If all this fails, you may have to wait a while before trying again, it could be that your hymen is still too intact (possible, not probable) to allow insertion.  everyones a little different, but generally if you insert toward your tailbone, you may find it easier to have a "target".

Lol. I know, right? This sounds a lot like when I used my first tampon. You have to make sure you're in a squatting position, or if it's more comfortable, lay a towel down on the bathroom floor and then find the "hole". It's simple once you get the hang of it.

BY THE BY-Do not use Tampax-Playtex Sport and Playtex gentle glide are so much better! :D

Answer 5

I know EXATCLY how you feel.

I'm 14 and I'm only on my 2nd period cycle so I decided to use tampons. At first I couldn't find the "hole" but then I got help.

Try going at it from the front instead of reaching front the back and put it in at an angle. Make sure you're squatting like youre sitting down and relax. To make it easier try the lighter (smaller) tampons because they are easier. I use tampax pearl (plastic) and its a lot easier than cardboard. Just make sure you relax and keep trying I know how frustrating it is!
