I used a tampon today for the first time, I pushed it in like I'm supposed to, but it was really uncomfortable to sit straight with it in. Why?

Thanks everybody!
I need to get a smaller size I guess, the ones I tried are super-absorbency.

You shouldn't even know it's up in there, so if it hurts then it was put in wrong/crooked (probably not pushed far enough up in you).

If inserted correctly it should not hurt you at all.You should not even feel it in.Take it out,and relax and try again.The least tad bit off it is going to be uncomfortable.Also,make sure you have the right absorbancy for you.You may have one that is too big.Also,at first i would suggest you use a panty liner with a tampon because if inserted incorrectly it may leak and then you ruin your clothes.Then once you get the hang of putting them in,you can wear them without a panty liner or continue with whatever you are comfortable with.Just relax when you put it in and remember you should not feel it once inside.Good luck.

my answer would be you still did not get it far enough in because once you get it in far enough you will barely notice it walking or sitting. or you need to go wit a smaller size my suggestion would be to experiment with different types till you find the best one and that way you will also get more practice. try inserting it with one foot on the toilet and pushing towards your back.

first use pads for a little while longer before you use a tampon. if this was one of your first times with your period it is becasue you havent had your period long and your body isnt used to tampons. if you still experience pain, see a gynicologist (not sure on the spelling) maybe they can tell you why you have pain

You probably dont have it in right. You shouldnt feel any discomfort. the best way to insert a tampon is to stand with one leg on the toilet and insert straight up...I noticed when I do it this way, it goes in perfectly.

Either you did not insert it properly (perhaps not far enough in), or your vaginal canal is tilted at an odd angle...you should not be able to feel a tampon once it is inserted properly.

you don't have it inserted far enough into your vagina or you are using a tampon in a bigger size than you need. it does take time to get used to tampons, and insert them correctly.

If it hurt then it wasnt inserted in far enough. it will take a few times to get used to it.

It's probably in wrong, or not up far enough. It's happend to me b4. Whenever that happens take it out and put a new one in.
