I only have the normal size that my mum uses. Is this ok for me?

You can use normal or a slender size. You probably will feel a little discomfort the first time you use a tampon, but not usually afterward.

That is fine.
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!

Normal size will be ok, but it might be a little uncomfortable to insert. I would suggest playtex pearls juniors. You have to remember to relax, and you might want to put some type of lubricant on the applicator to make insertion easier. Good luck!

Yes, it's ok. They base the light, regular, and supers off of the amount of your flow, not your body size.

If you are too scared, don't use them! There is no rush.
Read all the info on the information slip in the box first.

You have no need to use them. Speak to your doctor.
