How to put in O.B. tampons?

I prefer Tampax or even generic supermarket-brand tampons with cardboard applicators- MUCH easier to use! Maybe your Mom can buy you those next time?

Here are some instructions I found on their site.

1. Wash your hands. Do not use o.b.® tampon if wrapper on tampon is not sealed. Pull the colored tear strip. Remove both ends of the wrapper.

Pull the string tight – toward you, away from you and side to side. This widens the base of the tampon, creating a place for your finger.

2. Place your index finger in the widened tampon base. This will help keep your finger clean and protected as you insert the tampon. Now hold the tampon firmly with your thumb and middle finger.

Firmly hold the tampon. Relaxing your muscles, stand with one leg up, or sit on the toilet.

3. With your free hand, gently hold open the skin surrounding the vaginal opening. With the full length of your index finger, ease the tampon into your vagina, aiming toward your lower back.

When the tampon is in the right place, you won’t feel it. If you do, push a little further. Leave the string hanging outside of your body. Wash your hands. It’s that simple.
