Question

how do you insert a tampon?and does it hurt or dangerrous,

Answer 1

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!

TSS is associated with tampons that are left in for more than 12 hours. This is more likely with higher absorbancy tampons.

Answer 2

I've read a book that has good information about inserting tampons and other stuff. And no, its painless and not dangerous. Anyway, there is a book that will give you many answers. Go to you closest library and check out a book called 'Girlology'.

Answer 3

it's a hard thing to write in words without being vulgar... but it's extremely simple. there's a packet that comes in the box that shows you how. There is a website below that also might help you understand. it doesn't hurt at all and isn't dangerous. there is a tiny risk of TSS but i wouldn't worry about that at all seeing as how only 1 - 17 women get it in 100,000. so i would say you dont' have anything to be concerned about. Good Luck! and hope my advice helped you! =)

it should say on the package, u insert it into your "place",make sure u bought the right size, instead of sticking it straight up, insert it at some sort of a angle(pointing towards front/back, cant remember sorry), and just be relaxed

Answer 5

It all depends. If it is hurting then you are not putting it in the right way.
