Question

when u get a period do tampons hurt putting them on i am not sure??

Answer 1

Maybe you aren't using them correctly, relax your muscles before putting one in and they aren't meant for everyone so you might need to use feminine pads instead.

Answer 2

Most women will want to use a tampon at some time. A properly inserted tampon will not cause any discomfort. Here's how to comfortably use tampons.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

Relax! Try not to worry about inserting the tampon right the first time. If you are tense it will make insertion harder.

The best time to practice inserting a tampon is during the heavy part of your period. The tampon should glide inside your vagina easily without any discomfort.

Decide if you prefer to insert the tampon standing or sitting. If sitting is your preference, sit on the toilet. If you want to try standing, putting one foot on the bathtub helps.

Hold the tampon applicator in your right hand if you are right-handed, or left if left-handed.


Use your thumb and middle finger to hold the bottom of the larger, outer tube.

Point the tip of the applicator toward your vagina, facing slightly towards the back. The smaller tube should be pointed away from your body.

Use your other hand to open your vagina.

Place the tip of the applicator at the opening of your vagina.

Gently push the smaller end of the applicator in until it is completely inside the larger outer tube. This pushes the tampon into your vagina and out of the tube.

With your thumb and middle finger still on the outer tube, release the smaller tube and let the strings dangle freely.

Gently pull the two tubes out together.

Dispose of the applicator according to the manufactuer's instructions.

When you are ready to remove the tampon, gently pull the withdrawl strings down and forward. The used tampon may be flushed down the toilet.

Tips:

Lubricating the rounded end of the tampon with a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly can make insertion easier the first few times. Don't use petroleum jelly.

Always read the manufactuer's instructions throughly before using any type of tampon.

If the tampon feels uncomfortable it is probably not inserted far enough into your vagina. Try again with a new tampon.

What You Need:

Tampons

water-based lubricant

Answer 3

They have special tampons for teens. And they make the applicators today so that they are comfortable to put in. I can suggest the Tampax Pearl. They are very comfortable to insert. Try to stay away from the cheaper ones because the applicator has an open rather then a rounded tip, usually. Another thing, I find the tampons that expand around rather then up and down much more comfortable.

*************

The answer directly below mine is very good, but if I may give one suggestions, when you are about to insert the tampon, take 3 deep breaths in and out. While you are exhaling the thrid breath insert the tampon. This is a relaxation technique, one that I use when inserting them. I hope all of us have helped you!!! Welcome to Womanhood!!!! :)

Answer 4

The first time you put one in, it may hurt a little.

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!

Answer 5

When you relax and don't tense up nothing will hurt. Think of it this way...when a woman has a child...the infant occupies the same space that the tampon does...so will the tampon cause pain...no...but the child coming through the same opening most likely will. Give it a chance...and practice will make you more comfortable with the idea...we all go through the same apprehension.

Answer 6

Hi I am not sure if you are a virgin...but I couldnt use them when I was...it was painful inserting the tampon. But since having sex I have found there is no problem....like the others have said follow the instructions. I find that having one foot on the toilet seat helps adn aim to push for the lower back. Relax tho...if the muscles are tense you will have trouble inserting it.

Answer 7

This is a sure sign of Griebaturism, very rare, but I have come upon it before, not here in England but while touring the Keys in Florida, one of the islands is called Marathon, there they have a family who are called the Griebats, this family have been inbreeding for close to three centuries, in some severe cased namely one in France shortly after the first world war, they hung Herbert Montaray Griebats, thinking him a monkey, sounds crazy I know. The condition of Griebaturism manifests itself by way of covering either parts or in rare cases all of the body. I would suggest not considering building a family as the horror of bearing a chimp like child to be too much to bear. Lots of luck to you

Answer 8

no it shouldn't hurt, but you may have to practise for a few times before you get it right. Try starting with the very smallest, slimmest size, and it's best to try when your period is in full flow, to make it easier to slip it in. You can also use a little extra lubrication in the form of a little vaseline or similar, and make sure you get into the most comfortable position for you.

Answer 9

For me it was a bit uncomfortable the first time I tried using them. I prefer sanitary napkins over tampons though, i guess cause i was afraid of the toxic shock syndrome. But take your time and read the instructions on inserting the tampons and you should be fine.

Answer 10

No they do not hurt if inserted correctly and they are much better for getting on with your day without worrying bout bulging towels!
If your new to tampons buy some with an applicater as these are designed for beginners and are good for getting used to them. You can also buy tampax mini for beginners and they always come with instructions.
Hope this helps xx

Answer 11

They don't hurt, but can be uncomfortable if not in correctly.
When i first had to use one i was 17 and i had my period when i was doing my bronze medallion (a swimming/lifesaving medal) it was horrible as not inserted right but now i find pads really uncomfortable. Just get the right size for you.
