My tampon keeps falling out. What am I doing wrong?

Question

I am putting it in as far as I can, and it will start to come out within an hour usually, or two. Is this normal?

I put it in as far as I can. It feels like its in right, and then about an hour, or sometimes two, it starts falling out. I dont have heavy flow, so I am using the regular flow tampon. It doesnt look over soaked or anything, but it will start falling out, and I can feel it and will have to go pull it out the rest of the way.

Answer 1

Your Not Supposed To Put It In Your ear!!

Answer 2

I would say that it's either one of the following:

1) you aren't inserting it in high enough.

or

2) the absorbency rate you are using is too low.

I find that when my flow is really heavy, there's sometimes too much for the tampon to absorb and I can feel it start to slide a little.

Answer 3

It might be too big. The size of the tampon depends on how heavy the flow is. Try reading the instructions that come with all tampons too.

Answer 4

Either you are letting it soak in too much (leaving it in too long) or you are wearing the wrong size. Try a larger size for days with heavy flow and a smaller one for days with light flow, although I wear the heavy-flow ones throughout my period and you can also try always wearing a panty-liner during your heavy flow days, just to be safe and clean. Hope I helped. Good luck.

Answer 5

Perhaps you aren't using a tampon with enough absorbtion? Maybe you should just use pads, and change them every couple of hours, each and every time you use the washroom. A school nurse should be able to demonstrate to you how to use a tampon. Until you see the nurse, use a regular pad.

Answer 6

It sounds like you do not have it inserted correctly....are you sure that you have the angle right....experiment with different angles and you may find that it will go in further with the right angle...also check the paperwork that comes with the tampons and follow the advice carefully for insertion...hope this all helps you...good luck..xx

Answer 7

It can sometimes mean you have to change it because it's filled. If your pushing for some reason that might be it. Maybe its your body, you're not a tampon kind of gal. Size also matters.

Answer 8

You may not be inserting it correctly. I sometimes put my leg on the toilet and stand to insert it.
You know it is right when you can't feel it inside of you.

Answer 9

I don't think you're putting it far up enough!!!
It has to be like at least 2 inches deep inside you.

Answer 10

If you put it in too far, it may cause an infection! Use a pad.
