Why is she scared to use a tampon? Are they really that bad?

Question

Wanted my gf to go swimming but she says she can't so I bought her some tampons and she says she doesn't want to use them because she doesn't know how or is scared to. I decided to read the instruction and help her with it but she ran away.... Is it really that bad?

Answer 1

In reality, it's not bad, scary, or painful at all. But it took me three years to successfully use them, so I do know that beforehand, not knowing what to expect, is a frightening thing. She'll try 'em when she's ready.  

Answer 2

It's not really that bad, but if she doesn't want to wear them, that's her choice.  If she is nervous, then they'll be uncomfortable to insert.

Answer 3

I'm a guy and I always thought tampons looked so much easier.  I wonder why my mom uses pads.  

Answer 4

yeah I'm afraid to use tampons after the stories i have heard shoick syndrome & when they get stuck & cant come out! I am the same way. Is swimming really that important just wait till shes done & then go swimming C=

Answer 5

Answer 7

That's....freaky actually..lol

Very personal.Perhaps you overstepped the boundaries..just a little.

Tampons...yeah I hate them.But in some cases you really do need them.When she's on her period try to make her feel good.She might be feeling guilty now, over not pleasing you., etc. It's a very rough time in a ladies life ya know..

Answer 8

Most girls don't like to use them because of many reasons.  A common one is that they won't be able to get it out or they will leak.  Many girls have never used one before and feel that they don't have to because their isn't a great need for it.  I was forced to use one the first time it happened and I was scared, but I got over it.  It is her choice so accept it.

Answer 9

i really dont think theyre that bad......... i guess shes just scared. dont force her to use one if she really doesnt want to

Answer 10

No, it's not bad at all.

But you really shouldn't like try to make her use them,

it's not going in your body, so you should stay out of it and do

something else with her instead.
