Question

would you suggest tampons? i know there is a disease risk if you leave em in for more than eight hours, but only during the day. how do you insert a tampon? PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO ASK A DOCTOR OR MY MOM OR ANYONE.

Answer 1

No, I would NEVER suggest using a tampon because of possible toxic shock syndrome. However, if you still insist on using one, here are the instructions:

How do you insert a tampon?

You may be worried and nervous about using your first tampon. Talk to your mom or a friend who has used tampons. It is important to first learn how to use a tampon and then, just relax! The more you relax, the easier the insertion will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, making insertion even harder. 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!

Answer 2

yeh, there good, just dont leave tampon in for over 8 hours!!!!!!!


heres how to insert one darl:

1. the first thing you do is look at the tampon when you take it out of the wrapper. i suggest using tampons with plastic applicators, because they have a rounded tip, and they're easier to get inserted. anyway, you'll notice two (2) different parts of the tampon, NOT counting the string. these two parts are the parts of the applicator. there is a bigger, rounder, fatter part of the applicator, which is the part that you put into ur vagina. on that bigger part, there are 2-4 rings around it, which is called the finger grip. that is where you put ur middle finger and ur thumb when you insert the tampon.

2. next, you need to put ur index finger on the smaller, thinner part of the applicator, and put ur finger right over the end where the string comes out.

3. then, find ur vagina. it might be a little challenging at first, because there are so many other things around it, so if it hurts, it's not the right place.

4. b4 you insert the tampon, point the tip of the applicator (which is the rounded end) toward ur lower back (which is where ur buttcrack meets ur back)

5. THEN RELAX!!! insert the applicator in, but STOP when the finger grip is just about it disappear into ur body. so in other words, push the applicator in until ur thumb and ur middle finger are JUST about to go in!!!

6. once ur this far, the hard part is over!!! all you have to do is push the smaller part of the applicator toward the larger part, until you can't see the smaller part. NOTE: some applicators even click together, to lock them together

7. once it has disappeared, you can move ur index finger out of the way, and pull on the larger part of the applicator, where the finger grip is. both parts of the applicator will come out, leaving the tampon (with the string) inside you.

8. it might take a few tampons to get it right, or it might take the whole box, but you wil eventually get it!

Answer 3

The disease is Toxic Shock Syndrome and for the most part is associated with a tampon that was taken off the market years ago. If you change your tampons regularly, should not be a problem. The box of tampons will actually have instructions for insertion and wanrings. I personally feel pads are safer, but do have to use both when working. Good Luck

If you don't succeed after several times, see your health care provider. It may be that you were born with a very small opening in your hymen and you can't insert tampons. This is true in only about 2% of teens, but it could be a problem.

A mirror is often helpful so that you can see where your vaginal opening is. Sometimes, even using a small amount of vaginal lubricant (K-Y Jelly) on the end of the tampon will help the first one glide in.


You've probably heard of this disease before, and how it may be connected to tampon use. TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) is an infection that is very rare, but potentially dangerous. TSS can affect anyone, male or female. However, it occurs most frequently in young women who wear tampons. You will probably never get TSS, but it's good to know what the symptoms are and how to avoid putting yourself at risk.

You've probably heard of this disease before, and how it may be connected to tampon use. TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) is an infection that is very rare, but potentially dangerous. TSS can affect anyone, male or female. However, it occurs most frequently in young women who wear tampons. You will probably never get TSS, but it's good to know what the symptoms are and how to avoid putting yourself at risk.

Tampons themselves do not cause TSS. TSS is caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. When a tampon is left inside your vagina for too long, it creates a perfect environment for different types of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, to grow. To avoid developing TSS, follow these guidelines when using tampons:

Change your tampons at least every 4-8 hours or more often if necessary.
Choose the correct tampon absorbency. Use smaller sized tampons when your flow is lighter. TSS occurs more often when super-absorbent tampons are used. Don't use these unless your menstrual flow is particularly heavy.
Alternate between pad and tampon use. You might want to use pads at night, and tampons in the daytime.
Wash your hands before inserting or taking out your tampon.
Don't use tampons to absorb anything other than your menstrual flow. Only insert a tampon once menstrual blood is present.
If you experience the following symptoms while wearing a tampon, remove the tampon, and contact your health care provider immediately! These symptoms may seem similar to the flu. If they occur while you are menstruating and wearing a tampon, they may signal TSS. Otherwise, it might mean that you have another infection. It is recommended that you see your health care provider regardless. Symptoms of TSS include:

Sudden high fever
A sunburn-like rash
Diarrhea
Dizziness, fainting, or lightheadedness
Vomiting


Tampons are great! They arent as messy as pads and you can do more activities with tampons that you can do with pads!!

Answer 5

I love tampons. I have used Tampax for years and would never think of using a pad again, yuck! There will be directions on or in the box, it really isn't hard. And once you get use to it, it will be like second nature. Just make sure you put it in at the right angle and that it is in deep enough or it will not be comfortable. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 6

I'm not the best person to ask but when my friend got her period she was very uncomfortable and as soon as she used tampons she was fine with the whole thing. I think you should try them. if you don't know how to put them in you could buy a book or something also it may tell you on the box.

Answer 7

oo i had that question before to yes id suggest only use thm like on special ocasions like when ur going swiming or somthing u know and go to google and type in how do i insirt tampons then ull ahve some resulst i renmber i had a site where it had pictures and everything but i fogot it but if i rnember it ill post it okaay and yes i think u do get a disease if u leav them on like too much time but its safe to leav them on during the night

Answer 8

tampons are okay to use if you feel comfortable using them know read the directions you can get very sick if you leave a tampon in for 8 hrs but why oh why would you do that common sense you chang the tampon evry time you need to do so i change my tampon every time i go to the bathroom or if needed if its a heavy flow so that i feel clean

Answer 9

I started using Tampons when i was 15.... and I will never go back to pads... its whats more confy for you ... there is no disease risk.... there is a risk of tss (toxic shock syndrome)....but a low risk .. change them ever 4 hrs ..and if you seem to need to change them more
than every 4hrs then try using a heverier flow one...they are really esay to use ... each box has instructions on how to instert them ...

Answer 10

I do not recommend using them. They're bad for you. If you do decide to use one, the easiest way to explain how is for you to read the pamphlet inside the box. If you pull it out too soon (if it's still pretty dry), then it hurts and you take a chance in leaving some of it left inside of you(dangerous)

I never use them anymore unless I'm swimming.
