Tampons!?!?

Question

I'm on my period and I'm going swimming tomorrow. Can anyone share any tips on how to use tampons because I havent used them before. Thanks..!

Answer 1

This Maybe Long But Read It.....

The tampon goes into the vagina which is the middle opening between the uretha (at the front, where urine leaves the body) and the anus (at the back, where excrement leaves the body).

We always recommend that you match the tampon to your flow, not your age or size. It's a good idea to start with the lowest absorbency. Tampax® Compak are especially designed for girls trying tampons for the first time. They have slim applicator tubes, which make them easy to insert and position correctly. If you have to change your tampon more than every 4hrs, you should move to the next absorbency. If the tampon isn't fully saturated after 8hr. you should move down an absorbency, or from tampons you should use pads.


If you insert a tampon properly, and place it far enough inside the vagina you shouldn't feel any discomfort at all. If you are too tense it may hurt slightly to insert a tampon, so try and relax. Only ever practice inserting a tampon when you are menstruating. Once your tampon is inserted and you still feel discomfort, it may be that you haven't inserted it far enough. This usually happens if your flow is light, as it's trickier to put a tampon into place if your vagina is quite dry. This is quite common. If this happens to you, just remove the tampon and try again with a new one. So try relaxing by taking slow deep breaths and guide the tampon upwards and backwards towards the small of your back. If you still have problems, we suggest you wait and try again when your flow is heavier.

Here are some steps for you.................

Step 1
Wash your hands and unwrap a fresh tampon. If you are using Tampax ® Compak ensure you have extended the applicator tubes fully. Stand or sit in a comfortable position: some women find it easiest to crouch down with their knees apart or to stand with one foot on the toilet seat or bath. Hold the applicator (where the ridges are on the tube) with the thumb and middle finger of one hand.

Step 2
With your other hand, spread the folds of skin around the vaginal opening. Place the tip of the outer tube of the tampon applicator (not the end with the cord hanging out) in the opening of your vagina.

Step 3
The vagina slants upwards towards your back. So, gently slide the applicator in an upwards and backwards direction. It sometimes helps to slightly rotate or twist the applicator when inserting. Stop pushing when your thumb and finger touch your body.

Step 4
Still holding the applicator on the ridges, push the bottom of the small tube completely up inside the larger tube. This slides the tampon out of the applicator and into your vagina.

Step 5
Hold tightly onto the two tubes (one is inside the other). To dispose of these tubes wrap them in tissue and put them in a bin. You'll see that the cord of the tampon is hanging down outside your body.

It's not hard.

1.) Relax - if you're not relaxed you will not get it in
2.) Use a smaller sized tampon because this is going to be your first time using one
3.) Make sure the entire outter "tube" is inside you (basically when your fingers are touching the outside part of your labia), then push the two tube together until they stop moving.
4.) Pull the "tubes" out - the tampon will stay in with a string hanging out, and the tubes can be thrown out.
5.) Make sure to change it every 4-6 hours, or as needed
6.) If you'll feel more comfortable wear a panty liner underneath (obviously not in the pool)

It may take a few tries to get it in right, but once you do it won't hurt at all, until it's right just keep trying, it'll get easier the more times you do it. Once you've used a tampon, you'll never want to use another pad. Good Luck.

You can get ones which are easy to use because they have a tube which the tampon is in and then you just push on the tube and it goes in properly. Brands like tampax have really good instructions so read those and if you're having trouble put a bit of vaseline on the tampon. But most importantly just take your time and don't worry or get flustered if you don't get the hang of it the very first time.

nicely, the human beings above gave you approaches to cajole your mom, although this is not any longer nicely worth it to argue with your mom this is going to easily reason fights and she or he possibly won't supply in. listed under are some suggestions although for hiding your pads. so which you do no longer choose each physique to confirm you taking a pad out of your bag, who does? The pocket does not artwork so nicely somewhat some the time as a results of fact they stick out of the ideas-blowing, so listed under are some innovations.. Do you have boots? Uggs? Fuggs? Snow boots? although type of boot you place directly to college. Stick some on your boot so as that they are continually with you! in case you're on the ingredient the place you carry a binder with you everywhere between training then have a particular place on your binder or get an acordian (sp?) folder and save them in between the slots, then purely take the binder into the stall with you. Neither of those artwork? maximum faculties/public places have a pad/tampon allotting gadget of their bathing room and that they often fee 25 or 50 cents. So carry some quarters with you and purchase them there in case you've gotten the money for to attain this. continually have back-up however, incase they're out. one greater theory.. watching the type of bogs your college has you will possibly have the potential to hide a pair of pads back there before everything of the day, I doubt every person would be sticking their hand back there. otherwise there is greater often than not a brown paper bag interior the metallic container the place you place grimy products and you will placed it exterior of the paper bag (inbetween metallic and bag) the place this is not any longer very noticable to human beings, or %. up the bag, placed some pads down on the backside and place the bag back on ideas-blowing. human beings often do no longer pass snooping around interior the stalls so those would desire to artwork too. wish I helped!

Answer 5

Insert, but do not let the blue string get inside, it fills up like a cup, i.e when it is full , it is full, then it is time to remove it from your body by pulling the blue string, which should always be left outside.
