"Relax! Try not to worry about inserting the tampon right the first time. If you are tense it will make insertion harder.

The best time to practice inserting a tampon is during the heavy part of your period. The tampon should glide inside your vagina easily without any discomfort.

Decide if you prefer to insert the tampon standing or sitting. If sitting is your preference, sit on the toilet. If you want to try standing, putting one foot on the bathtub helps.

Hold the tampon applicator in your right hand if you are right-handed, or left if left-handed.

Use your thumb and middle finger to hold the bottom of the larger, outer tube.

Point the tip of the applicator toward your vagina, facing slightly towards the back. The smaller tube should be pointed away from your body.

Use your other hand to open your vagina.

Place the tip of the applicator at the opening of your vagina.
Gently push the smaller end of the applicator in until it is completely inside the larger outer tube. This pushes the tampon into your vagina and out of the tube.

With your thumb and middle finger still on the outer tube, release the smaller tube and let the strings dangle freely.
Gently pull the two tubes out together.

Dispose of the applicator according to the manufactuer's instructions.

When you are ready to remove the tampon, gently pull the withdrawl strings down and forward. The used tampon may be flushed down the toilet.

Tips:
Lubricating the rounded end of the tampon with a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly can make insertion easier the first few times. Don't use petroleum jelly.

Always read the manufactuer's instructions throughly before using any type of tampon.

If the tampon feels uncomfortable it is probably not inserted far enough into your vagina. Try again with a new tampon."

Answer 2

Unwrap tampon from plastic.

Pull string on the bottom to make sure it's sewn in well (you don't have to, but I always do).

Lay on your back with your knees up (think sit-up position)

Use one hand to hold your labia ('lips') open, and with the other, insert the applicator as far as you can, sort of pushing it towards your back or parallel to the bed. (Or, before you put the tampon in, insert one finger to see if your body curves inside).

When the applicator is as far in as it goes with you holding it, then push the bottom of it to insert the tampon.

Answer 3

I always insert a tampon with my middle finger sitting on the toilet. Spread your legs as far as you can and then insert it, push it all the way in until you can only see the string.

Answer 4

Use a pad instead. If it's hurting, it's probably because your hymen is still intact (there's nothing wrong with that). When you're older, you can use a tampon.

Answer 5

Answer 7
