Answer 1

Might have damaged your vaginal wall.

Might just have been a slightly abnormal flap in there..

#1. Dont use tampons for this period... Period. Use a pad.

#2. If you get a fever, see a doctor immediatly

#3. if the pain continues for more than a few more hours or you bleed very heavily see a doctor.

Answer 2

First, buy a brand which has a plastic applicator, not a cardboard one. That makes things much easier. My favourite brand personally is Tampax compax.

Try to find ones which are designed for lighter days when you're just starting out. Yes, you'll probably have to change it more often, but they're very small so easiest to learn with.

When you're going to put one in, you have to relax. Get into a position where it will be easiest - most people suggest sitting on the toilet with your legs wide apart, or putting one foot on the edge of the bath. Personally, I find the easiest way is to crouch down with my knees wide apart.

Take the tampon in your right hand (assuming you're right handed). Spread the labia with your left hand and gently insert the tampon into the vagina. Push it in gently until the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin. That's the most important part - it has to be far enough in or it will be uncomfortable. If you're having trouble getting it in, try pushing slightly to one side or the other, or slightly rotating the tampon as you push it in. If you find it a bit dry going in, you could try using a bit of vaseline on the tip of the tampon.

Once the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin, use your left hand to push the applicator in all the way, as far as it goes - again, if you feel a bit of resistance try pushing slightly to one side or the other, then withdraw the applicator and the tampon should be in place.

If the tampon is in the right place, you won't be able to feel it inside you at all. It's difficult to get the hang of at first, but just keep trying, I promise you it's worth it!!! No more messy pads, no more gushing of blood when you sneeze or move position.......tampons are definitely the way to go!!! Good luck!

If you aren't comfortable using a tampon yet, you can always use pads. Some women never choose to use tampopns. It is your own preference.

Those answers are a lot of rubbish. I don't know what went on with the pop etc, if it was just a little pop, and its beginning of your period when its at its heaviest it might have just been a bubble in the blood clot, and they're normal by the way. =)

You just need to make sure you're putting them in correctly. It's not easy, just remember that your vagina goes backwards, towards your back, and not straight up. If you go slow enough you should be able to follow the natural groove. Try wiggling the tampon as you go in, or put a little ky jelly on it before you insert it, to make it a lot easier to insert.

you'll get used to them, i promise.

You're not supposed to hear a pop sound and it shouldn't hurt. Make sure that you are inserting the bigger end. Insert it all the way until the base of the plunger is just outside of the vagina. Push the plunger in slowly and then pull out the applicator. It's not uncommon to have blood or a clot to come out on the applicator.

Answer 5

when i started using them I had the same problem try doing this,
lay down on your back insert the tampon pointing towards you lower back make sure you insert it all the way like it says in the instructions then push it in . you are probably not putting it in right.
also try using the slim fit tampons because if it is too big it will hurt also. the clot of blood could just be some of your period blood.

Answer 6

Wow...yeah, tazzz is probably right. I was going to suggest you use a smaller tampon, but I could never use them either. They always felt funny or hurt. It's possible that you could be developed differently inside than most women too. Maybe you're too small or whatever. Try a smaller size tampon with the plastic applicator.

Answer 7

First of all, relax, call your doctor. If it's ok with them to keep using tampons, use the plastic ones. Also try the slim ones. But until you see a doctor, I would highly recommend using pads, just to be on the safe side.

Answer 8

Sometimes it hurts when you don't insert it all the way. If you put it in the right way (at a slant..remember) then it shouldn't hurt. I've never had problems with tampons, but if your pain continues, you may be STUCK with pads. (get it? haha) Well good luck sweetie!

Answer 9

It is probably because you didnt insert it far enough, a woman can only feel the first 2-3 inches of her vagina so if the tampon was far enough up theres no way you could feel it.

Answer 10

that sounds very painful. The best thing to do is to use a pad for now as you don't know exactly what you did and go see a doctor ASAP. It's probably not that big of a deal but you should go just to be sure.
