GIRLS ONLY!! NO BOYs!?

Question

I know this sounds stupid but I keep praying to God to give me my period because I want to feel what it feels like to put a tampon in. What does it feel like?

Answer 1

It's not stupid to be want to experience your period. Many young women want it. But don't get too excited about it. It can be a real pain...
My first period was at 11 years old and it was tough because I don't have a mom. Since I was young and new to periods I used only pads, but the next year tampons interested me (pads can be leaky and annoying during the heavy days) and I tried them.

Tampons do not break your hymen or take your virginity!

Trust me, tampons (even the jumbo size ones) are way smaller than a penis and a baby. It's painless. The vagina stretches. It can feel a little weird for you, especially if you're a young teen, but never painful for most girls. When they're inserted properly, you shouldn't feel them at all. That's why they're good if you're active or in school, ect. A panty liner should be used to catch tiny spotting when you wear them.

When you DO get your period, use pads first, and tampon-using takes practice. I bought a pack with mixed sizes when starting out and used the smallest size when learning how to insert it. Squatting down and using a mirror helped me see where it went and made learning easy. Then I started practicing on the toilet with a regular size. I was a bit slow in using them at first, but now I can change my tampons VERY fast.

NEVER wear tampons if you aren't having your period. You also need a good flow to use tampons. Don't wear a size too big. If you need a little bit of extra lubricant when learning to insert tampons, use water. Don't dip the tampon in water or it will expand. Just wet the applicator a tiny bit. You should have enough blood for it to be inserted smoothly, though.

Periods have their light days and their heavy days and not all girls bleed the same, so you'll probably not use tampons during your whole period. With me, I only use tampons if my flow's heavy (usually in the beginning on my period) or when going out. When I sleep pads are more comfy. The whole inserting thing feels annoying for me after a while and I need a break for a couple hours or the rest of my cycle, so I always have some pads.

Oh, and remember to NEVER leave your tampon in for more than 8 hours. No such thing as a tampon being lost in there, it's not big enough. (lol) If it ever does get 'lost', then just squat, push down on your tummy, and push it out of your vagina like you would when you use the bathroom.

Answer 2

Ok wait. First, it does NOT break your hymen. Thats a myth.

Secondly, some woman are more comfortable with a sanitary pad than a tampon. For some women, when done correctly, tampons do not hurt and you don't even notice them. If your uncomfortable, use a sanitary pad the first six months or so when you do get your period.

All woman are different so whether it's comfortable for you or not is something more of trial and error.

And no, tampons are NOT bad for you. Just keep in mind about Toxic Shock Syndrome. (TSS) It can occur if you leave a tampon in for way too long. At least twelve hours. Don't do that. Change regularly if you decide to start with tampons.

P.s. Don't worry bout getting your period so soon.. It will come eventually. Need anything else, let me know. :O)

Answer 3

your period will come when your body is ready and God will not make it come any sooner than that. Putting in a tampon feels like inserting the toilet paper tube if it is a cardboard aplicator, and if it is a plastic aplicator it feels like it does when you slip your finger in. you don't have to be on your period to try an insert a tampon just don't wear it for an extended time put it in wear it 10 min then take it out. Always bware of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and be sure you read the insert in the box

Answer 4

DO NOT i repeat DO NOT pray to god for your period. it is not a wonderful thing, unless you like bloody underwear. it takes a long time to know how to put in a tampon, i just understood it and im 13, and at first it feels like a bubble but then you may get used to it. i hurts when you sit down though. be blessed that youre a "late one"

Answer 5

Your period is a real pain, so you don't want it any sooner than you have to. Putting a tampon in is no big deal and once it is in, you can't feel it. The first time you put one in the best advice I can give you is to relax. Good luck

Answer 6

nottin special...i ma 13 and i got my period about 2 years ago and trust me i know how u feel ...i wanted my period cause i was guessing that it was going to happen for 2 years. once it does u kinda just forget about it...putting a tampon doesnt feel like much of anything if u use a plastic aplicator...if u use a cardboard one it can hurt a little...just relax and it wil ccome when its ready...and by the way ur question isnt stupid

Answer 7

Why would you pray for something like that? You'll feel REALLY dumb a couple of years from now when you've had to spend gads of money on those amazing tampons and even more on new underwear.

Answer 8

Well the first couple of times it will hurt for like a min,but then after that you don`t even feel them.

Answer 9

for me, before I had intercourse with my husband for the first time, tampons were very painful for me. I couldn't put one in even if I relaxed completely and tried at different angles. After I had intercourse, it was more easy for me, but still uncomfortable. I have found feminine pads to be the best way to go.

Answer 10

It doesn't feel like anything. There might be a little discomfort the first time, you there certainty are "good" feelings. Why do you want your period? I can't believe that you actually want the cramps, inconvenience, etc. that comes along with it.
