Question

its my first time i don't want it to get stuck

Answer 1

Make sure you leave the string hanging out so you can pull it back out. You'll be just fine.

Answer 2

1. Stand or sit in a comfortable position. Try sitting on the toilet with legs apart and lean slightly forward, or try crouching down with knees far apart. Standing with one foot up on the tub also works for some girls. Hold the tampon applicator in whatever hand you write with. Use the thumb and middle finger to hold the ridged rings (the finger grip) at the bottom of the larger (outer) tube.
The tip of the applicator's larger (outer) tube should be pointed into the body, toward the lower back. The end of the smaller (inner) tube, with the removal cord showing, should be pointed away from the body.
2. With the other hand, spread the folds of skin around the vaginal opening. Place the tip of the outer tube of the tampon applicator in the opening of the vagina.
3. the vagina slants upward and toward the back. So, aim the tampon toward a point low on the small of the back (the curved area of your lower back). Gently push in the tampon applicator. For flushable (cardboard) applicator tampons, ease in the applicator by slightly twisting or rotating it from side to side. (Avoid twisting a plastic applicator, which slides in best when pushed at the proper angle.) Stop when the outer tube is inside the vagina and the two fingers holding the applicator tube touch the body at your vaginal opening.
4. Then place your index finger (or a finger of the other hand) on the end of the inner tube (where the cord comes out). Push the inner tube until it is completely inside the outer tube. This pushes the tampon out of the applicator and into your vagina. Take your finger off the end of the inner tube so that the removal cord hangs free. Keep your thumb and middle finger on the outer tube rings.
5. Hold tightly onto the two tubes that are now one inside the other. Gently take out both applicator tubes together. (The cardboard tubes can be flushed away.) If the tampon is in correctly, you shouldn't feel it at all. (There are very few nerve endings in the vagina where the tampon is placed.) If it feels uncomfortable, it is probably not placed far enough into your vagina. The uncomfortable feeling comes from the tampon rubbing against the muscle at the opening of the vagina. If this happens, remove the tampon and try again with a fresh one.
6. To remove a tampon, pull the withdrawal cord gently downward and forward. The tampon can be flushed down the toilet.
Guidelines for Tampon Use
Tampons are a comfortable, effective way to handle menstrual flow. Girls and women should follow a few simple guidelines for proper use of tampons:

Wash hands before and after changing a tampon.
· Tampons should only be used during menstruation, not for absorbing vaginal discharge.

· Tampons should be changed regularly, every four to eight hours. A used tampon should be removed before a new one is inserted.

· Tampons do not need to be changed every time a woman urinates. Simply move the removal cord out of the way to keep it clean.

· Always remember to remove the last tampon at the end of a period.

· Young Women aged 13 or younger should refrain from using a Tampon due to potential harm this may cause to the hymen and their periods are unpredictable usually.

Best Answer - Chosen By You

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!
