and i have never used it before. can anyone tell me what it feels like? because i am going to do some water activities and might be having my period then

Answer 1

if you dont use it properly or if you dont use the right size yes

Answer 2

Tampons are not uncomfortable, once you have the idea that you put them inside you, its fine, great for swimming, I have used them since i was 12 and you can hardly feel them at all. Good luck

Answer 3

I actually find tampons much more comfortable than pads. I can't even feel them when they're in. Of course everyone's body is different, the only way to really know if they are uncomfortable for you is to try them.

Answer 4

Well if the tampon is right for your flow, then it wont be uncomfortable. also, make sure you insert it correctly. If it isn't inserted all the way, it will be uncomfortable. Along with being crooked!

Answer 5

If you start off with a small size and insert it properly as in the directions you should be fine. You should not be able to feel it if it is in correctly. good luck

Answer 6

I like the playtex kind... with the plastic applicators. I think the paper ones are uncomfortable.

Answer 7

try one with a plastic applactor and start with the smallest size. a bit of KY jelly will make inseting the tampon easier. and ware a pad as a back incease you have any leaks.

Answer 8

They can be uncomfortable when you first try them. But if you use them for a while, you won't feel them anymore and it won't hurt.

Answer 9

depends on the kind...
