How do you instert a tampon??

Answer 1

When you first start using tampons get a box of Playtex SlimFits. They are made specifically for young teens and first-time tampon users. They have a plastic applicater for easier insertion, a rounded tip for comfort, and they are the smallest and most slender tampons on the market (They're about the width of your pinky finger!). To insert the tampon, use your dominant hand and put your thumb and middle finger on the finger-grips. Use your other hand to spread apart the lips/labia of the vulva and hold them open while you're inserting your tampon. Now get into a comfy position for insertion: you can sit down on the toilet, squat over the toilet, or you can stand up with one leg propped up on the toilet. Do whichever is easiest for you. Remember to relax your muscles to make insertion more comfortable and easier. If you're nervous your muscles will tense up and make insertion really difficult. When you're ready to insert, you should use the tip of the applicater and hold it at your vaginal opening. Then, gently push the applicater inside of your vagina while angling the tampon a little bit upwards, and then to the back towards your tailbone. Keep pushing the tampon in until the finger-grips are right outside of your vagina. After that, put your pointer finger on the skinny plunger and push it into the bigger applicater which is already inside of your vagina. Once the skinny plunger is pushed in completely, you can grab the finger-grips and pull out the applicater and toss it in the trashcan. The string will be left hanging outside of your body, so you can tuck that into your underwear. You should never feel any pain while using a tampon, when inserted correctly you shouldn't be able to feel the tampon at all. By the way, you should type your question into the Yahoo Answers search bar BEFORE posting your question - this question has been answered many times before. Anyways, after using tampons for 2 or 3 years, I strongly recommend switching to a menstrual cup because they are healthier, cheaper, more reliable, stronger protection, no risk of TSS, and are better for our environment. Best of luck!
