Tampons || My First Time, What I Wish I Would Have Known, Tips

[@heidigirlify]

a couple weeks ago I used my first tampon even though I had already had my period for years. I had got past the hurt of putting it in and was so happy. I went to a party that night and was terrified of taking it out bc it hurt. so I stood in my friends bathroom shower while 5 of my friends coached me through the curtain and finally came out with the tampon in hand and we all cracked up for a good 5 minutes. so that is my story 😂

[@anaiswestergaard6459]

That story made my day!! I love it

[@heidigirlify]

+Anais Westergaard haha glad you enjoyed

[@Lyrronium]

Heidi Hering If I remember correctly, tampons aren't suppose to hurt. You're not even suppose to feel it after putting it in if done correctly. But I'm glad you managed!

[@nephalemnova]

maybe naming my tampons will make me less scared of them? Alright Abigail, you better not give me trouble getting you out

[@gracehaynie7049]

I LOVE YOU

[@thatgirlontheinternet7014]

[@MyaChristie]

Tbh I never got taught in school how to do this and that would have been very helpful instead the government think it is more important to learn about the cells in a plant

[@pacejessica03]

IKR like does it look like I'm a plant? NO I'm nOT A FUCKING PLANT THIS ISNT IMPORTANT

[@kendrasousa2162]

The government 😂

[@MyaChristie]

+Kendra Sousa yes the government...since they decide the national curriculum in which we Learn

[@alexisniece1784]

yeah and it's also like don't teach me how to pay bills or write a check or anything but I'm so glad I know the area of an isosceles triangle LOL

[@arimae2136]

Lol so true

[@sarahelizabeth9448]

I'm a sophomore and the fact that I still can't put in a damn tampon is starting to piss me off. I'm such a baby I swear... I'm just gonna shove it the fuck up there and be done with it all. The only thing that confuses me is the angle you are supposed to put it in while pushing it in. Like, "The small of your back" "the tailbone".... call me dumb but wtf does that even mean. I can't grasp the concept of it and I am scared that I'm going to not angle it right and break or tear some kind of wall that is protecting my vagina.

[@izloves8784]

Just the bottom of your back, just above your bum 😂 x

[@chloemadison6803]

Lol that's ok just stick to pads lol

[@Sami-qb3tl]

I RELATE TO YOU SO MUCH

[@sarahelizabeth9448]

+itsamig Right though??! like, I even tried after watching this video and I STILL couldn't do it. I have to take swim class for the next 9 weeks of school and I am sooooo fucked. lol

[@Sami-qb3tl]

+Sarah Elizabeth I'm only on my second period going into 8th but like all my friends use tampons but I just literally can't I tried like two days ago and I got the tip in and I was like nope no way I can't do this and I threw it out

[@kyahbydesign9374]

Omg I'm so freakin scared to use one I'm in my junior year of high school and still haven't used one. and I'm a virgin so like I'm nervous about sticking something into me lol but I need to try one cause I'm on my cycle on vacation and I wanna go swimming cause we're going to a freakin water park!! I swear my period has the worst timing!

[@kyahbydesign9374]

And I tried one last summer but like I was freaking out because I couldn't get the tampon in. I do know now that you can't just stick it straight up some where it has to go in at an angle. I'll try it again I guess 😞

[@miabyrne8472]

+KyahByDesign just take deep breaths and try not to think too much about it. And make sure it's in pretty far or it will be uncomfortable

[@emilyb2921]

IM IN GRADE 7 AND ALL THESE BITCHES ARE USING THEM LIKE WHAT TF DOESJT IT HURT IM TERRIFIED

[@carpetmoth3303]

KyahByDesign I just put one in for the first time today, and it was no problem. Just try, folks! Stop worrying!

[@animetrash6934]

KyahByDesign yep, periods are the WORST.. my first period was 3 days before my birthday.. and we where going to the water park... sadist day of my life..

[@casianaking]

I really do want to try tampons but I can't get it in. I try everytime when I'm on my period and I use a mirror. Hopefully one day I can get it in. I'm not afraid of nervous I feel ready but my body is like nope not today.

[@kendal.alanaa]

you will eventually get it in. I've had my period for a year this month and I tried to put in a tampon every period I got. I've never gotten one in until today when I tried, but unfortunately I didn't get it in far enough so it was very uncomfortable and I had to take it out. hopefully you have better luck than me when you get it in the first time lol! 😂

[@ayannacaffrey374]

have you tried putting Vaseline or some kind of lubricant on the tip of the applicator? if not you should try, it will help it slide in a bit more easily :)

[@ilabarker9154]

You probably already know how to get it in now but what I did is i put a little mirror on the edge of my shower and stood over it then squatted down and got it in that way

[@adriana-jc8py]

Piper Chapman, is that you?

omg i just tried to put in a tampon for the first tim and it actually worked!i feel so achieved

[@zoeyblount3369]

Omg thank you so very much for posting this. It helped me so much. And I would also like to say , it feels very weird when you put it in but once it's in there, it doesn't even feel like anything at all. I don't know if you will even see this but I want you to know this really helped me and I'm so appreciative that you posted this.

[@emilyann1929]

i used tampons straight away. i was in 9th grade so i was confident about it.

[@kuromi8384]

me too

[@kyliaford5373]

I started my period at school when I had my only male teacher of course. So I went to the school nurse and she didnt realize it was my first time so I got no guidance. She said the feminine products were in the drawner in the bathroom....... They ran out of pads........The tampons were cardboard applicator........ Thank god I figured it out.

[@poppyrose1413]

Omg that's my worst nightmare 😱 glad it was all ok 😂❤️

[@NeemaAndGame]

I feel like cardboard applicators are made by devil himself. I mean who the heck wants to put cardboard in your freaking vagina?!

[@cycloneprincess2378]

.Monica my school has cardboard tampons my friend I were like " ummm.. tf is this?"

[@jellybean9382]

Ha my school doesn't have any in the bathroom, you have to ask the nurse what you want, and she's not even always there!

OMG!!! Thank u so much for this video. I'm 20 years old and today was my first time putting one on. I couldn't have done it without this video!!

[@kiyahshockley6538]

I once pulled out a completely dry tampon and oh myy God.......I didn't even try tampons for like 5 months after that...

[@wiltedpetals]

+Emily O'Sullivan feels like getting scratched rly bad

[@jennosaur-4]

When I was like 10, I successfully inserted a tampon. I hadn't even gotten my period yet... I was stupid. So I got scared and pulled it out, and it hurt, but I did this same exact thing at least 5 times! Gosh was I stupid. I knew how much it hurt because it was completely dry, and I wasn't smart enough to let it soak in water, and now I'm still too scared to use one _for REAL_

[@Lizzygotstyle]

P!ATD!!!

[@livvy7208]

Ily your profile pic 💕

[@antoniadragongirl3099]

bro watch something to get aroused. i never tried but that shit might work.

[@Princess-vw1zt]

This was so much help😂 I've been wearing pads since 12. Never wore a tampon before because I was told by my friends that it would take my Virginity & I didn't want that lol😂 so I'm now 17, & tried my first tampon today. It was fine to put in, but I legit just panicked because it wouldn't come out. As soon as you said " get it wet. I squated in the bath " I started the bath water & sat in there while I watched the rest of your video haha! After a few minutes I managed to get it out, thank god & you!

[@mialloyd1389]

Watched this before putting my first one in and I did it omf yes I am a women!

[@donkeykickpunch1263]

When I first used it I learned you don't put the plastic applicator in as well. I also learned that I had an unholy amount of blood and even the super absorbent and jumbo sizes with pads couldn't stop the flood that was my menstrual wave. I fell asleep in two pads (one on the backside and one directly under my vagina) and a super absorbent tampon and woke up a few hours later with my back and neck (I slept at a slope angle) soaked in blood and I remember once waking up with my blood having soaked my friend as well when I was asleep next to her. Fun times learning your vagina is a flood gate. I had to be put on depo to control my period because I started fainting and getting sick from loosing so much iron. I would also bleed for almost 2 weeks

[@nathalialopez4351]

Noo...don't ever sleep with a tampon on again! If you get a lot of blood then sleep with a diaper,it sounds weird but it works!

[@faithrembish8853]

I fell like the devil slit his wrists and dropped his blood into all of us girls so we can suffer each month

[@FemmeHead]

I used to feel this way too, but I've completely changed my mind on this. I, dare I say, enjoy my periods now.

[@elizabethtackett434]

Gretchyn Rubin it's to make a path for us so when we have a baby it's easy for him/her can come out ( that's what I heard

[@sophia-es6wk]

I remember using my first tampon, I had to bring my friend into the bathroom at the water park to help me and she saw my entire vagina because I had no clue how to do it, she is an amazing friend to say the least! When I took it out I had the same experience, I had to yank it out because it wouldn't budge and it was quite uncomfortable, it was like my vagina decided not to let it go lol

[@ericas3802]

That's a great friend

[@Spoiledelements]

+Sophia Webb #tampongoals #friendgoals

[@sydniesunshine2130]

+Diva2infinity_xo. you can't fit a tampon through your pee whole it's too small you have one whole that things can fit in besides your buttwhole

[@xihuang4058]

I tried to put it in for ten times today but I still couldn't get it in😭😭😭

[@laurenfail5805]

Omg same I tried and tried but I just couldn't do it and there's a pool party coming up 😭

[@FemmeHead]

+Xi Huang Hi love! I'm making a video for next week about tampons. So keep your eye out for it!

[@sssophie9292]

+Xi Huang I went through that a few months ago. Keep trying, and the most important thing is to relax (which was the hardest thing for me!).

[@ameliemcc1001]

Just don't get tense about it Try and relax, take death breaths, ect.

[@diva2infinity_xo17]

Same i wasted so many tampons trying

[@Joffelicious]

In my country the tampons commonly does not have applicators, you just put them in with your fingers. I sort of feel like applicators would be nice cause less messy ;å;

[@ameliemcc1001]

Where do you live?

[@Joffelicious]

+amélie rambles I live in sweden! :)

[@ameliemcc1001]

Joffelicious Wow I thought Sweden was like the rest of europe regarding tampons!

[@bloempie123]

+amélie rambles In The Netherlands it's also usually without aplicators.

[@marlin5883]

Im also from sweden, and I have NEVER ever seen a tampon with an applicator... You got your finger to help and that's it.

[@nicolemosburg9018]

Her eyes are soooo pretty

[@laurenarmitage316]

i am 11 and today was the first day that i used a tampon. I definitely made sure I knew everything about putting in a tampon. i've been checking every 10 minutes to see if the string is still sticking out. it definitely helped to know everything about tampons before you try to use one. if i had to choose tampon or pad i would choose tampon because you feel more free with a tampon and you can SWIM

[@SFF86]

I'm 29 going on 30, and I only started using tampons for the FIRST time like a month ago. Asked my very good girl friends about advice and which tampons they use etc. I'm not kidding, it was a huge research project for me but I was so tired of having to wear pads since the age of 13. That feeling of wearing a diaper...so not sexy. And restricting. My mother never let me use tampons, but obviously as an adult I can make that decision for myself now. Anyways! I wish I had switched over to tampons in my 20's. I could have skipped many years of discomfort. Also, I feel like once a woman starts having sex, you become more comfortable with your body and how things should feel down there and using a tampon isn't as awkward or uncomfortable to use as when you're a young teen. If that makes sense lol!

[@sophgrahm9028]

8:00 what do you mean it didn't feel nice? Im 13 just started and i want to use tampons but I'm scared and i hate pads?

[@FemmeHead]

+soph grahm I'll have to go back and watch to see what I said exactly. But I can say now that you shouldn't be scared. It took me only three attempts to finally get a tampon in. So just stay relaxed and try it out. Nothing to be scared of hun!

[@b3lm0nt_]

It's not a requirement to use tampons, you don't have to. I would suggest to use pads regularly, and use tampons for sports, swimming, etc.. It's not highly uncomfortable, especially when you get used to it after a few tries. When you try, use the smallest tampon you can, and if you're afraid of the plastic up in there, use your finger to push the tampon in.

[@tippycandy3034]

I think she meant it really hurt her..

[@b3lm0nt_]

Tippy Candy She said it doesn't hurt. Though..

[@tippycandy3034]

Hana Unicorn With a dry one. Though..

[@mychemicalphangirl._.2011]

I just put in my first tampon! I had to use 3 to actually succeed. I put it all the way and it didn't hurt to put in and it didn't hurt to get it out, I used a plastic applicator

[@zoeowen2839]

Thank you soooo much!! This video made me feel much more confident about putting a tampon in. I've had my period for almost a year and could never get a tampon in. I know I am late but I decided I needed to try it in order to go swimming this summer

[@hobihobi1469]

Thank you so much for this video! I've tried to use a tampon but I was so scared I cried. lol. I'm gonna try them on my next period for sure!

[@leslienull3689]

I just put on a tampon for the first time since 6th grade, my first tampon experience was my last but ive been wanting to try it recently and I FEEL LIKE A NEW WOMAN :D

[@CEPHALOMOSH]

This really helped me. 4 years of pads and I never realized until today that tampons arent that bad at all. I think im switching.

[@elizasparvell8252]

In Australia we don't have any of the applicators. It's just little bullet things

[@lydiahanzures3213]

❤ KarmaGetsYouBack ❤ your mom probably won't care. It's very common and not a big deal. Just think of how you would feel if your friend asked. You probably would think ok I don't mind and nothing else. That's exactly what your mom will think. It's okay it seems more ockward than it really is :)

[@sarahelizabeth5392]

❤ KarmaGetsYouBack ❤ My mom bought me some incase I wanted to use them so she got me a 3 pack just to try them out. I tried my first one flawlessly and this is only my 2nd period. But it was life changing.. now I jusy have to figure out how to get it out..

[@sleepsey]

[@heatherl2304]

I'm a swimmer and I practice only once a week because of family issues but I'm really lucky I've never had to swim on my period but I only use pads , I'm on my period and have a swimming competition tomorrow ahhh😫

[@koorom1]

thumbs up girl! Pads literally are waaaayyy safer and comfortable in my opinion. But since you're a swimmer o guess its your only choice

[@samanthafriginal3705]

Lucky you. I have swimming class (and also my most absolute favorite class of all time) every thursday and my uterus just decided on being a total bitch and scheduled my monthly period every 3rd week of wednesday. The day after that is always the heaviest flow. I want to use tampons but can't find one in my country because we don't usually use tampons here, only pads. So I cry everytime I don't get to swim on my class

[@hannahgrace4405]

I have to figure out how to use a tampon by the end of the summer or else I won't be able to swim in meets cause I will miss practices. So yea. My life is going great.😔😦🙄

[@heatherl2304]

+Samantha Friginal aha😂

[@heatherl2304]

+hannah mena Ano this was ages ago but i had to as well😂

[@carissa5690]

I put a tampon in and I put it in right and it was for the right flow, but when i try to take them out, it hurts...it also wasn't dry either

[@jordananderson5008]

I had a similar issue too, Hun. Start off with the lights (marked L), then move onto regular size tampons. It is uncomfortable if you are new to it, by the more frequently you use them, the easier it gets. I was there too. :-)

[@gabbytyer9386]

+Jordan Anderson do you start with light ones even if it's not light?

[@clairefernandes1077]

IM LAUGHING SO HARD I STUMBLED UPON THIS VIDEO AND WHEN YOU SAID YOU'D NAME THE TAMPON, I SOMEHOW EXPECTED IT TO BE MY NAME AND MY NAME IS CLAIRE AND I CHOKED ON MY TEA

[@samanthyachuvonski9563]

I got my period yesterday and all I have been watching period videos trying to help me😂 I got mine really early cause I'm only 11

[@5.29am8]

It's not really early poeple sometimes get it at 9 or 8

[@daralynch6589]

I am 11 to and have my period. I started wearing tampons about my 5-6th period.

[@ayannacaffrey374]

I'm 11 and have had my period for over a year, so since I was 10. if your thinking about wether to try tampons or pads I would recommend using pads first (just to get used to it and get to know your flow) and then intergrate into tampons:) I started using tampons on my 7th or 8th month :)

[@zahrapeace9781]

Help me.... I literally got mine this week on Monday... I WAS AT A FAIR AND DIDN'T REALIZE TILL I GOT HOME... I bleed through my shorts... I wonder how many people saw?!😭😂

[@nikkib.5842]

samanthya chuvonski you're 11?... start with pads

[@nopain209]

They had tampons on sale at the Giant Eagle , it was buy one get one free. A bogo, One for the money two for the flow.

[@christiannafletcher57]

I just learned how to put a tampon like in June 😂😂 and I'm 15. and god, they're the best

[@kathrine7764]

I'm trying to use them because I'm getting into sports and stuff.... But all the times I tried putting one in and I literally couldn't get the plastic part all the way in. Maybe I'm scared... And when I put in I only put the half way in and pulled it dry. Damn that hurt. 😂😂 any tips? I'm bad at this girl thing.

[@FemmeHead]

+CapnKitKat :D Don't give up girl, you'll get it! Here's a more recent video I made that has more tips for tampons. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHnMe5ptn9GggKc

[@HopeNicholas]

+FemmeHead Is it supposed to hurt the first time you put a tampon in??

[@avapaul4737]

Ok, this is going to sound gross, and I was totally grossed out by this, but you can (I did and yes it helped) sort of prepare yourself with your finger so you get used to the spreading- ya, it sounds disgusting- but it really did help me.

[@HopeNicholas]

+-Rebecca- thank you so much!!

[@HopeNicholas]

+Ava Paul yeah I does kinda sound gross but I'll try it thanks!!

[@chiquitamilliner9935]

I have never worn tampons actually prefer pads so after watching this video I decided to give it another try and actually it is alot better when I'm at work I don't have to run to the restroom @ work to change/check my clothes on heavy days every hour seem like my job consist of alot of moving thanks for the video :-)

[@hollyncook3222]

I used my first tampon this morning and it was great. It took one try and I was good. I'd definitely recommend the tampax pearl active because they're 20% slimmer than normal tampons. It didn't hurt at all, it did feel a little strange at first and I was terrified that it wasn't in right and o would leak but all was good!

[@pameladiaz8376]

After watching the video multiple times. Finally I put one in after 2 years. Who ever gets to see this please suck it up and just do it, it feels so much better than a pad.

[@michellesilver7406]

thank you so much, this was really helpful to me, I would not have known what to do if not for your help.

[@daniellewhited2011]

Omg that's really smart, I'm so afraid of pulling out a dry tampon I guess I'll just have to sit in a tub 😂super helpful vid!

[@dezarayadams1335]

I just got my period and I started with pads and they are so uncomfortable so I thought I would try tampons since this is my first period I was so confused about tampons. So when I tried them today which is still my first period I could not figure it out and this video helped SO much. Thank you.

[@sarahmatthews7]

do you insert the whole applicator and the pull it out once you've pushed the cotton in??

[@averyandmegan7683]

you should put the whole top of the applicator in (until its where the grip is where your fingers are) then use the bottom part and push that so the tampon goes in and then when youve pushed the bottom part as far as it will go (which is the applicator) then you just slide the applicator back out and throw it away

[@pilluche2664]

little did you know that at 2am when I was sitting on the toilet with a tampon stuck in my vagina, without any idea of how to get it out, I came across this video. and it saved my life. thank you!😅

[@estefanyaguilar6603]

Yeah my mistake when I first used tampons was buying the super plus absorbing one

[@Alexa-hn7bh]

Here are some details of interest that I have asked my gynecologist, for those who are interested. The tampons and mainly the cups tear the hymen. There are different kinds of hymens but here are some details: Hymen dilatable or complacent: do not break sometimes or with childbirth (girls can use tampons and cups and do not tear). Himen spider web or onion peel: can be broken by extreme sports (girls can use tampons and cups because your hymen is already broken). Himen Cribiform: It has many holes instead of one and is torn with the use of tampons (even the mini), and of cups (the girls must use pads). Microperforated Hymen: It has a small hole and is torn with the use of tampons (even the mini), and of cups (the girls must use pads). Septate hymen: has a bridge in the middle of the hole and is torn by the use of tampons and cups (girls should use pads). Typical hymns: ring, semilunar and lip (can tear with tampons and cups, especially with cups. (Virgin girls should use pads not to have hymen tears). BYE.

[@Lauren-fx6hn]

I'm due my period tomorrow, never tried a tampon before but I'm going to attempt it tomorrow. Wish me luck!! 🤞🏻

[@SuperKris0909]

I found the best way to start using tampons is with the OB tampons. you really do get to know your body and how they will fit. honestly I was 25 before u started using them. I tried and tried bit could never get it then I used OB and it was amazing. seriously give them a try

[@msneelyoc]

I wish your channel had existed when I was 12!!

[@Ruby-ut8rb]

This video was so helpful because tomorrow I'm going swimming and It's going to be my first time using a tampon.

[@laurenwidmer2137]

Thank you so much for the tip of sitting in a bathtub with water, because I have had my period for over a year now and I have tried to put a tampon in but I haven't been able to until today and I left the tampon in while I went in the shower and I guess it wasn't absorbing water and I didn't bleed a lot so when I pulled it out it hurt so bad I have never been told not to pull out a dry tampon so thank you so much.

[@thecloudsouls]

Mine hurts to pull out and it's completely soaked with blood. I don't understand. Putting it in is okay but taking it out hurts, but is doable.

[@thepedsMa]

I'm 11 and started 4 months ago, I still haven't used a tampon. Too scared.

[@FemmeHead]

You've got plenty of time to learn how to use tampons. There's no rush. Take your time, and when you're ready, and have some time you can try them out.

[@thepedsMa]

+FemmeHead Thank you!

[@Mcloven1503]

Pshh I'm 19 and I still haven't used it either! I'm scared too😂

I'm 17 years old, i got my period for the first time when I was like 13 years old. And i'm about to put for the first time a tampons. So don't worry if you don't feel ready. Keep the pads

[@pumpkinpie1786]

when u try .relax , because if u relax it's easier. I heard 😂 cuz im still trying

[@kerriganadams8487]

The first product I used was a tampon😂 I got my period on spring break while in the Bahamas, I wasn't about to stay out of the water. So I sucked it up asked my mom what to do and did it. I was 14 and within 5 minutes I was back in the ocean😂😂

[@cinnamongirl9779]

Tip: Once you put on the tampon take a test walk for a while if it hurts when you walk it means that you didn't put all of it in you..Take it out and try again if it doesn't hurt when you walk then you put it in properly 😇😇

[@miahm8640]

when i first used a tampon i hadn't even started my period yet but i wanted to know how to use it and i did the same as u but i pulled it out dry it hurt but i did like a few millimeters at a time so it wasnt too bad but it did hurt

[@pikachuandme9568]

I tried but it really really hurt how did you go all the way?

[@sarahloverado9827]

I use the same tampons she had in the video, but only actually used them a couple times for less than an hour. I had no idea they were supposed to click... So happy I watched this video, or I still wouldn't know.

[@angeljackson9494]

it didn't hurt putting it in just pulling it out

[@FemmeHead]

+angel jackson Not something to worry about! It sounds weird, but it is because it wasn't ready. It hurts like hell to pull out a dry tampon, ESPECIALLY when you're new to tampons.

[@angeljackson9494]

And its my first period but I dont like using pads how long should I keep it before I take it out

[@sophia-es6wk]

+angel jackson you usually keep tampons in for 3-5 hours depending on how heavy your flow is

[@rivamikaforlife3386]

I'm eleven and I used my first tampon today and I didn't need a mirror. I FELT LIKE A BOSS!!😎😎😎😎😎

[@emilybrown6346]

girl!! you should talk about the luxury tax on period products in the US. If you haven't heard about it, do some research, and prepare to get mad!!

[@talaiahlee1636]

So, I have a question. I have never tried tampons before but I was just wondering if you insert the plastic part into you hooha then push the little tube to make it go in.

[@that_bun_life9210]

No matter how hard and how many times I try I just can't put it in I didn't see a second hole and halfway in I yanked it out dry

[@jennie20able]

Ohh thank god i aint the only one i have that problem two, its like no matter what i do pretty sure iam relaxed in all but the dam thing just wont go up smh rolls eyes..

[@that_bun_life9210]

+marie flower hey I go to planned parenthood to get this depo shot. I'm not sexually active but the reason it's so hard for us to use tampons is because of the hymen or something

[@jennie20able]

Hmm i was thinking it could be that hehe and yah im not sexually active either.

[@youngmanareyoushook5706]

Sorry to be squeamish but if you really wanna try it do it in the tub because if there's no moisture it won't go in . I used one for the first time and I'm really happy

[@jennie20able]

Good idea:)

[@kyliaford5373]

Oh and in my add was tampax cardboard applicator tampons from Walmart.

[@rosavanzanten2997]

I tried so hard but it hurts so much and im scared it´s gonna fall out when im swimming so im not....

[@reagenhubler9652]

try putting vaseline on it. it goes in smoother. and for the falling out part i feel ya. i would just maybe start on a day you are at home the whole day so if anything happens you're there

[@FemmeHead]

Don't worry. It won't fall out. And you have to be very relaxed when you try to put it in or else you're clenching your muscles and it won't go in.

[@28glitter]

She's so pretty omg

[@naimapersonal9393]

The first time you use a tampon...it feels so adult lmao the pride you feel is amazing

[@mspaaliyah]

tampons when I'm on my heavy period they save me😍 I didn't have any problems using a tampon for the first time❤✨

[@josieolderog9515]

two days before my thirteenth birthday, i put in a tampon for the first time and threw up a minute later. i googled it and apparently i have a "sensitive cervix" and shouldn't worry about it... but i have been scared ever since. i have a pretty heavy flow and joined cross country for the first time this year, and im terrified if ill have to resort to tampons.

[@heyitslisa1390]

I know how to put in a tampon and I would like to start using them but I'm always so worried that I'll just randomly get TSS and so I can never leave the tampon in

[@hobihasmyhearteu7854]

Are you supposed to pull the bottom thing down to make the click because I have those exact same ones and I used my first tampon today and I didn't do that please help

[@rubyrund7628]

My only worry is taking it out. Everyone says it hurts because it expands!! 😬😬😬😬😬😬 aghhhh I'm scared!!! advice?!?!?

[@FemmeHead]

It expands to absorb, but not in a painful way. It is actually much easier to pull out a full tampon then a dry one. Don't be scared.

[@rubyrund7628]

than kyou so much!

[@anabuczkowski6361]

I just had my first period but I have my dance recital tomorrow and I am very scared to use tampons because I feel like they will hurt a lot. I just keep psyching myself out.

[@seaneave7485]

the first tampon i ever used was last month and needed to go swimming, yes i know you can swim with a pad but i tried it and it was disgusting. anyway i was on holiday in bali indonesia and the only tampon with an applicator were the cardboard ones, i managed it get it in,not a huge deal but it felt sooo gross and the tampon was way to big for me and getting it out after a long day hurt really really bad. But overall it does the job and its wayy better for the environment then the plastic ones, even if it makes the experience more pleasant.

[@glizzyyy5122]

When it hurts to take the tampon out its because it hasn't absorbed enough blood and you should wait alittle later but next time try a lower absorbency (L,R,S&S+) :)

[@samanthacassidycampbell4638]

the first time I used one I got it in fine but when I like walked about and sat down it hurt like fuck and I still don't know why

[@FemmeHead]

It probably wasn't in all of the way.

[@seraph7023]

my mom tried to help me the first time I tried tampons and I didn't put it in far enough and I got up and it felt like absolute hell so I laid down in the bathroom floor and cried. I kept trying on separate occasions and I could never get it to work UNTIL TODAY!! my period skipped 2 months so this time it is absolutely terrible and I just was not having it. went to Dollar general at 9 pm and bought a box and went home and the first try I got it.

[@kayleyshaner5851]

The mirrors watch me! 🙀

[@paytonrichardson5990]

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I'm going to go to my grandmas house for a long time. I want to use a tampon for the first time so I don't have to worry about getting a pad and changing it. I only have cardboard ones...any tips?

[@kortneyheadrick6819]

When you have to take a dry tampon out take you point in for front part and middle finger in back and it doesn't hurt at all

[@leahowell6164]

I just put in my first tampon I'm still kinda scared but my whole cheer team is giving me advice

[@ellexcel616]

Wait I'm soooooo confused what do mean when you say it gets dry or it's not ready to come out, sorry I haven't gotten my period yet but I'm 13 so I'm preparing lol

[@FemmeHead]

+Dazzler Hey girl! So when I say "dry" I mean that the tampon is still too dry, hasn't absorbed enough blood. It's a little more difficult/uncomfortable to pull out when it's too dry. I hope that makes sense :)

[@smokey2003]

+FemmeHead don't tampons and menstrual cups break your hymne?

[@kieraluman651]

+The MineCraft Geeks You can break your hymne by doing siple things such as running I would recommend a menstrual cup until you are older.

[@mamasadie5219]

Yeah, when your tampon isnt ready to come out it'll feel kinda hard to do so, like you really have to pull it out. If its ready to go, it'll slide out easily :)

[@KatieCraftGames]

+Jelly Boo my friend got her first period a day before my beach party. she came, crying because she couldn't swim but half an hour in she called her mum to bring her a tampon to try and she successfully did it

[@sparkle7653]

I literally can't get one in /: I tried the smallest size and it hurts way too bad, my mom can't help because she doesn't use them.

[@emmaholden7326]

The last time I used a tampon I couldn't get it out and I've been too scared too use one ever since

[@katelynbond1746]

i have some light absorbency tampons and i can put them in super easily but after there in i feel very uncomfortable sometimes even painful and i'm not sure if it's that i have to get used to them or that i'm just not ready.. any advice?

[@halliefarrell8551]

hey does anyone know if it's normal when it hurts to take your tampon out beacsue mine really hurt to take out and when I walked it felt weird

[@halliefarrell8551]

never mind I just got more into the video and I pulled it out when it was dry 😂😂😂😂

[@nikkilovesualot]

Also if it feels weird when you walk it most likely is not far enough in.

[@zeekcore4269]

Hallie Farrell if you can feel it after you put it in, you're wearing it wrong

[@bridiesmith9622]

im acc okay with cardboard ones my mum had always used them and it was the only way i could go to one of the best water parks

[@Katie-xd2is]

For any of you that have experienced this can you help me?? I've gotten in a tampon once and whenever I tried to do it again it wouldn't go in. I've tried every position, I've lowered the size of the tampon and nothing really seems to work!! I've tried to "finger myself" to see if I could get anything in there and it won't go in!! I'm really tired of using pads and I really want to wear tampons but I'm scared that I won't be able to!! So please if any of you have had this same experience and have over come this please give me advice!! Thank you!!

[@iliketoreadstuf]

I'm not trying to hate but it's really annoying that she keeps taking sips of her water😂

[@voguegirl2218]

I suffer from heavy periods and I don't think they are suitable for me. I would end up wearing a pad as well because I would be worried that it would leak through during the first few days. As well when I have my tampon inside and you are walking around or siting down doing day to day things I find it uncomfortable. Also when it's inside and I'm trying to take it out it can be sore to take out.

[@madysonrupe4237]

I'm scared to use tampons because I have a heavy flow but when I try to use a tampon it's uncomfortable when I walk and stuff and it's not the best feeling getting it out... Please help me😭

[@fursonaality4806]

You probably haven't put it in correctly because when I put mine in the first time I watched a "how to" video don't be afraid to search something like that up, but anyway make sure you do that, and did you use one of the positions?(sitting on the toilet, one leg higher?)

[@fursonaality4806]

You also could have not put it in far enough, it's ok when you first start to use them to "waste" a whole box, it takes practice.

[@madysonrupe4237]

+Fursona ality (Fursonality) I put it in up to the part wear you hold it... I've looked videos up and I try and squat

[@b3lm0nt_]

Maybe you aren't going in far enough.

[@fursonaality4806]

+Madyson Rupe hmmm, well are you touching your fingers into your vegay? (Vagina)

[@sarahchalmers1879]

I'm going surfing tomorrow but I'm terrified to put a tampon in. someone help
