Women advice on tampons?

i have had my period for a little less than i year and im 14.. all of my friends say how much better tampons are than pads.. and i hate pads. i want to start using tampons but im very nervous. im so scared that i will accidentally put it up the wrong hole..i know the RIGHT hole is right at the tip of the clitorous (idk how 2 spell it) at least i think? am i right? i just get so nervous when it comes to actually putting it up.. the furthest i got was about half an inch.. which is pathetic. my friends say just do it.. but its easier said then done. i have also heard (from my sister) that it is easier lying down.. is that true? what is the easiest way to do it? i know that i was born a women and basically born to do this so why cant i? how can i calm myself down? is that the right hole? ( i know there is only 2 others... and can u actually see your pee hole or is it covered by the citorous?) the first time my sister had to put a tampon in, my mom had to do it for her! and im just too embarassed to ask her.. what should i do... thank you!Women advice on tampons?
Your fears are perfectly warranted! I was scared and I put it in wrong the first time and sat down and scream bloody murder it hurt so bad. In the box there is a drawing of how to do it so you should practice using that as a guide, just not while you are menstruating, that can get messy! I find it easier to sit on the toilet, slightly lifting one leg, and sort of jiggling it in. Make sure you start off with the lightness one. I believe there are some for teens that are skinny and should slide in with little effort. As for the hole, you can鈥檛 really miss which hole to put it in. It鈥檚 the one closer to the anus. Make sure you remember to take it out within 8 hours as to not risk TSS (toxic shock syndrome), believe it or not they can not be felt and you might forget about it. Once you do it a while, it will be second nature to you so don鈥檛 worry about it. When you are putting relax your body because if you are tense it might not be able to get it in and you might hurt yourself.





You鈥檒l do great

it may hurt the first time because of the hymin, but no it dosn't hurt, the right hole? well what i did was take the tampon and see if it could fit in a hole (your pee hole isn't big enough)i did it slow, just to see how far it would go, after a few times of being late to class you will be able to do it fast and painless. hope this helps!
first off, relax. I was nervous too. I started using them this summer. It doesnt hurt if u relax and do it slow. also, if ur unsure about which hole to put it in, what I did was, find the hole where the blo0od is coming out of. then slide it in. also, its easy to put one foot on the toilet or spread ur knees. cause think about it, u cant lie down if u change ur tamp0n in a bathroom stall
Just take it slow.





If you don't have an anatomy book, then you could take one out at the library. Or even just look at it there and not take it out if you're too embarrassed.


And you can find girl's sites online too even.





Yes, it did pinch the first time I put it in. But don't go fast, because I think that might make it feel worse.


But once you get it over with, it's no big deal and it never hurts again.





I'm the only one of my sisters who uses tampons. The other two are too afraid to try them, and one's 15 while the other one's 20.





Many years ago, there WERE no tampons. They're just another option. Don't think that you MUST use them, because you certainly don't.
i got my period when i was 12 and couldnt use a tampon until i was 15! so dont worry, its pretty much impossible to put it in your pee hole, its too small. but when you get it in make sure you take the cardboard off! my cousin failed to tell me that when she taught me and it completely didn't work and kept slipping out.(i was at the beach lol, very embarassing) Just relax and no it doesnt hurt, once its in you cant even feel it. do it at whatever pace suits you
okay;


i'm 13 and i started using tampons this past summer and i started my period back in January.


listen the first few times i tried i would put it in about an half inch like you said and then pull it out reall quick! haha, but i ignored it for awhile. finally i found a way that helps me. okay get the tampax pearl version, they slide in real easily. so then i sit on the toilet just find where to put it and slowly slide it in. it doesn't hurt, but may feel a little uncomfy. when you think its right just push that applicator thingy and wa-lah! haha.


and trust me the first time i put it in, i did it wrong! it hurt when i sat and everything lol.


(and no it doesn't hurt, just may be uncomfortable)





GOOD LUCK!!
I think you need to get a mirror and an anatomy picture. The vagina is the middle hole...between the anus and clitoris. If you spread your ';lips'; open you will most likely see where the tampon is meant to go. It does not go in the tiny gap under your clitoris, the vagina is bigger than that, if you have your period look for where the blood is coming from.


Yes your sister is correct, lying down opens up the vagina and makes it easier, as does breathing out which relaxes the muscles. Use some vaseline or lube if you havent got menstrual blood to lubricate the tampon.





It usually takes a few tries to get it right...no it does not hurt but it can pinch if you are not slippery with blood. Be calm its no big deal.
