How do you put in a tampon correctly?

Hi, I have had my period for about a year now and pads are really starting to bug me. I tried putting in a tampon a couple times and I could still feel it. I heard you weren’t supposed to so I was wondering if I was putting it in wrong. Also, after about two hours my tampon leaks a lot even if my flow isn’t heavy. I was wondering if that was also another sign that I’m not putting it in properly. When I go to take the tampon out, even if it’s fully soaked it still really hurts, probably more than a tampon should. Any advice?

Answer #1

I have the same problem..

Answer #2

If it goes in all the way (you pushed the applicator in you and then you pushed the little stem in…it is in properly. Maybe you should try a different brand. The Playtex Sport style is fantastic! Also, leakage always seems to happen from time to time with tampons :( It may be best to wear a very light pantie liner just in case. Also, taking a tampon out, in my opinion is always worse that putting it in. It does feel kind of awkward doesnt it? The best thing to do is deep breathing stare a single object and take your time removing the tampon. Rushing will make it really hurt. Treat your body right! :)

Answer #3

I have a problem related to that. I try to put in the tampon into where ever it fits, and I’m not really sure where the vagina opening is. Everytime I push it in it hurts a lot and when I take the applicator out I feel it a hundred percent. I need help! I don’t know how to put it in!

Answer #4

Yeahh I used to have that problem too. Just get the applicator in as far as you can them push the stem. You might feel it a little the first 1 maybe 2 times but that’s because you are overly aware that something is in your body. Just try to not thing about it. And taking it out is the part I hate too. I like listening to music and and taking it out slowly. And at the last part when it comes out, in your mind or something sayy B*! It makes me feel a little betterr and makes me laugh. Hope thiss helps
