Answer 1

Don't use them when you're not on your period!

Answer 2

For your first time, you may want to try using a tampon when your menstrual flow is heavy; this should allow the tampon to glide in more easily. Choose the smallest size tampon for the first time. By following these simple guidelines, and those that come with your package of tampons, your first experience with tampons should be easy.
Sit or stand in a comfortable position. Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down. After you find a position that is most comfortable for you, hold the tampon with the fingers that you write with. Hold the middle of the tampon, at the spot where the smaller, inner tube inserts into the larger, outer tube. Make sure the string is visible and pointing away from your body.


With your other hand, open the labia (the folds of skin around the vaginal opening) and position the tampon in the vaginal opening.


Gently push the tampon into the opening, aiming for the small of your back. Stop when your fingers touch your body and the applicator, or outer tube, is completely inside the vagina.


Once the applicator or outer tube is inside of you, use your index finger to push the inner tube (the tube where the removal string is connected) through the outer tube.


Once the inner tube is all the way in, use your thumb and middle finger to remove the applicator or outer tube. Make sure that the string hangs outside of the vaginal opening. Later, when you are ready to remove the tampon, hold the string and gently pull it downward until the entire tampon is out.
If the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted the tampon incorrectly or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. If this happens, just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon. Remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, relax and try again!

i only use tampons on my second day or if im going to be moving around a lot. they are much easier to deal with instead of having urself sit in a bloody pool [a pad] some of the tampons hurt me though because theyre too big. i think it ddepends on how old you are. im 13 and i use the thin tampons. theyre much easier to get up there. although, you do have to change them every 4 hours or u can get a shock. so i wouldnt recommend wearing them at school unless u are okay with changing them. but yes, go ahead try one. i was scared at first too, but it's fine. if you dont like the way it feels then take it out.

good luck. =]

Answer 4

Never try inserting a tampon when your not on your period. Its okay to try it while your on your period though.

Answer 5

NEVER NEVER NEVER use a tampon if you aren't on your cycle. I was never able to use a tampon until after I had my first child. They were never comfortable. After I had my first child I tired using tampons and it was easier. I do alternate between tampons and pads though. I also have found if I use tampons instead of pads it seems my cycle appears shorter.

Answer 6

Yes, it helps and so do tampons with applicators. Sometimes the applicator won't come out all the way, but you'll feel it. You just need to take the stick out.

Answer 7

yes
you should never put 1 in when your not on your period!
use can get TTS
just make sure you read all the directions on the back of the box :D

Good Luck!

Answer 8

yes definitely. it's a lot easier. once you try tampons, you'll never want to go back to pads. trust me.

Answer 9

yes it even says on the box that you shouldn't use one while your not PMS ing. try it again when you get it the next time, they take a while to get used to but once you've done it a few times then its easy.

Answer 10

yes it will help because it will be more lubricated
