I'm 14 and I read about how to use a tampon. I know how to use a tampon, actually. But when I do push it up there. It doesnt really feel comfortable. Do I need to push it up more or what?
Can you also pop with tampons? Question just popped up. Haha.

Try pushing it up more. You could also try using a smaller tampon. While it is possible, to break your hymen with a tampon, It DOES NOT take away virginity!

You might want to start with a smaller one. I know Playtex makes slimfits. They're tiny -- probably about the size of your pinky finger! They don't hold all that much, but it should get you started.
Some brands also feel more comfortable than others. Playtex Gentle Glide works really well for me. I've heard others swear by Tampax Pearl. You might just want to try a different brand.
Another important thing is to make sure it's back far enough. I know it's a little gross, but when you're inserting the tampon, push it back as far as you can while still holding on to the grip on the applicator. If you're doing it right, your fingers should be just at/just inside the opening (so make sure your hands are clean).
Also, there are many ways to put in a tampon. Some people like putting one foot up on the toilet. Another way is to sit on the seat and spread your legs very wide. Start with a little one, make sure it goes back far enough (and is angled right -- it shouldn't be hitting anything!) and you should be good. The beauty of tampons is that when inserted right, you can barely even feel them!
Good luck!

Try pushing it up more, but make sure you leave the string hanging out of your vagina, touching your panties.
And yeah, I think you can rip your hymen with tampons, but it shouldn't... Sexual intercourse does because for the most part the penis is way larger than your virgin vaginal opening, while tampons aren't so big.. lol. But yeah try to push it up there more.

Are you using applicator tampons? Make sure you are if you're inexperienced - they'll make a world of difference! You've gotta make sure you've got the tampon high up enough, or it'll just be uncomfy. If it's in right you shouldn't feel it at all.

its probably not in far enough. you shouldnt be able to feel it if its in right. or try a size smaller. you can break your hymen with anything really. but contrary to what some people think you dont lose your virginity if you break your hymen with a tampon. you only lose your virginity through sexual intercourse.

use pads much more comfortable and it doesn't injure your hymen!
