How come I faint when I try to put in a tampon?

Question

I'm 21 yrs old, and still haven't been able to put in a tampon. A few weeks ago I tried it again in my bathroom just exactly the way indicated on the box and by my friends, and each time I start pushing it up, I get dizzy and start to faint? Is this normal, Will I ever be able to put in a tampon?Does this have to do with toxic syndrome? Thanks

Answer 1

You're waaay to worried about it and it tenses up all the muscles. Imagine - a baby can fit through there when the time is right so a little ole tampon is nothing! Try taking some Calms Forte (mild homeopathic muscle relaxant) or have a glass of wine before you try it again. Even a warm bath might relax you enough to give it a go again. Breathe deeply when you do it. If you get it to work once or twice it's unlikely it will happen again. Relaaax! Aaaahhhhhh . . . .

Answer 2

Most tampons can be flushed nowadays. When my friend first started using tampons, she just about went through the whole box trying to figure out how to do it. There are a few reasons why you felt that way: You put it in wrong or are using too big of a size (like super). You got yourself all worked up and once something new and foreign was in your body you panicked. It could have been the onset of an allergic reaction, especially if they are scented tampons. Start seeing a Gyno, if you aren't already, and let him/her know about this so they can properly coach you through this time. Until then, stick to pads for safety's sake.

Answer 3

Its definitely NOT toxic shock syndrome. You can only get that from actually using a tampon and then leaving it in for too long. So thats not it. I think you're just too overanxious. Are you still a virgin? Its hard to insert something foreign in your body when you're just not comfortable with the idea. You need to relax and take your time and just don't worry so much about it. Maybe you're just one of those people that can't use them.

Answer 4

I never want to use one and after hearing in microbiology that are some bacteria in tampons (then again I may have heard wrong) I don't wanna use them again. I don't like it, but then I don't mind feel like I'm wearing a diaper. Tampons are only good for people who are active and wanna wear unstainable outfits that if they do stain its ruined. So kudos to those people. I wanna keep my clothes clean and sweats for about a week.

But you should ask a doctor why you may feel this way. Maybe its because you've never used one until now or a part of you doesn't like the feeling of it

Answer 5

i know this will sound gross but on your next period never use a tampon when you are bleeding have a girl friend who has used tampons help you and relax . the first time is always nerve racking i was taught at 18 by the boyfriend i had at the times mother very degrading and see your doctor too

Answer 6

IT IS NOT TSS! You probably don't like the feel of it, or you aren't relaxed enough. It took me a long time and alot of trial and errors, but i finally got it. It is okay that you dont use a tampon, you should probably go see a doctor, i think that is what's best.

Answer 7

It could be psychological, like the sight and/or thought of it just freaks you out. I would talk with a doc about it to be safe.

Answer 8

You are stressing out. Have you had intercourse yet or are you a virgin? If you have never experienced anything vaginally before, it could be nerves. Relax...try again another time.

Answer 9

that's very peculiar. and no it has nothing to do w/ the toxic syndrome.

when you have sex do you have the same dizzy feeling?

I'd consult a dr. if you do not have the faint like feeling during sex. Or just stick to the diaper..er uh.. pad
