Answer 2

That is not a weird question at all.

Tampons are the ideal solution for active girls who play sports and especially swim, and even for other girls they are MUCH more comfortable than pads, they are cleaner than pads, and much more environmentally friendly than pads.

Tampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.

One way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself. Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about. This is something that is essential for any girl.

Get comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around. It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works. When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.

Next time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect. It is different, but it is not bad. Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice. Just keep trying until you get it right. When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.

Using a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment. You will have to pick for yourself.

Which ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

Answer 3

Two questions...Why are you afraid to use a tampon and why would your mom (mum) think that you have used one? Take a moment to speak to your mom about this; I'm sure that she will explain why this is a concern and what the best method is to address the primary issue. Remember, Mom's are here to help guide you through life's challenges no matter how big or small! Good luck to you~

Answer 4

You should tell your mom you haven't use a tampon, and that you would like for her to help you on how to use it. Tampons are indeed really confortable, and the best thing to use on the summer when you wanna go swimming.. If your mom dznt help you, you can still buy em and read the instructions.. they're pretty simple and it explains how to put them on..

Answer 5

I don't know how I wound up in the women's section, but I will try and help anyway! My question is why does your mum 'think' you have used one. It is her job to teach you the facts of life and explain how to use them. Why don't you just ask her? She will feel pleased that you feel you can confide in her and you won't be getting bum advice.

Answer 6

Talk to your mum and share this with her. Ask her advice on how to do it. It's not that hard.
Also, there is usually an insert in the box that explains how to use them. You can read this for more information.

Answer 7

tell her u're afriad 2 use a tampon and u haven't tried yet.Maybe she'll show u how 2 use it then u wouldn't be so afriad 2 try a tampon.

Answer 8

I say you should either tell her you haven't used one or buy some and read the instrustions on the piece of paper in the box.

Answer 9

Well, if you never used one, just tell her the truth and hopefully she'll believe you. If she doesn't want you to use one and you're sfraid anyway, then tell her. It will make you more believable.

Answer 10

tell your mom the truth.
