How do you put a tampon in your *****?

Question

I found my moms tampon and it scares me. Why is the little string there? Why do I have to push something? ?????

I know what its used for. Just how do you put it in your vagina? Just stick it in?

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampon

Tampons aren't very scary if you read up on them. They're placed in a woman's vagina during her menstrual period to absorb the flow of blood. The string is used to pull it out.

It's a bit different then just sticking it in there, but that's basically it. Wait until you have your period and try, it's usually pretty easy and simple. The first couple times can be weird, but once you learn what angle to put it in at it becomes pretty natural.

Tampon applicators may be made of plastic or cardboard, and are similar in design to a syringe. The applicator consists of a bigger tube and a narrower tube. The bigger tube has a smooth surface and a round end for easier insertion. Some applicators have a star shape opening at the round end, others are open ended. The tampon itself rests inside the bigger tube, near the open end. The narrower tube is nested inside the other end of the bigger tube. The open end of the bigger tube is placed and held in the vagina, then the narrower tube is pushed into the bigger tube (typically using a finger) pushing the tampon through and into the vagina. If not inserted at a 45 degree angle it can cause discomfort and make removal difficult.

Digital tampons are tampons sold without applicators; these are simply unwrapped and pushed into the vagina with the fingers (digits).

Answer 2

The string is there because when you go to take it out, you pull on the string, and out it slides. The "push thing" is the applicator, and it is used to slide the tampon into the vagina. for info on how to use one, look in the box, or go to tampax.com.

Answer 3

You stick it in and the string hangs out, thats so u can take it out later. Why don't u ask ur mom these questions?

Answer 4

there are instructions in the box. there really easy to follow. the string is so you can remove it later. you don't want the tampon stuck up there. that would be bad.
