I started to try using tampons a while
ago, but they were so painful to put in
and take out that I just couldn't make
myself do it! I'm a bit better now and can
get them in and out, but when I put them
in...and for a little while after...I have
this dull ache in my lower stomache. Am I
doing it wrong? If ya have any tips plz
help me! My mother is away and I'm in a
house full of guys

If you can using a pad shouldn't hurt like
that. That way you can just deal with the
diaper until your mother comes home.
Also, if it helps sometimes I get an ache
too if I put them in wrong; say if they're
too deep or not deep enough. But I have no
idea why. Guess that may be something you
have to learn.

Try pushing it in a bit deeper. I had a
hard time my first time using them.
If yu ever have a hard time putting the
applicator in you can put a bit of
lubrication in the tip so it can go in
easier. Hope ur doing better

They can be if you are new to it and it is
cardboard. Like the_girlfriend said if
you use the plastic ones then it will be
much better.

They don't bother me as much. I like that
they are biodegradable and easier to
dispose of but plastic ones are much
easier to deal with when you first start
out using them.
Viictoria, you wont have to worry about
using them for awhile  You get pads for
at least 6 weeks after too which is NEVER
fun.

be sure you are using them right! my
cousin (raised by her dad) used them and
didn't take the applicator out. She did
that for about 3 years before someone told
her to take the applicator out. I also get
a little pain in my abdomen, I just think
it's because it's dry going all the way up
there, drying out the sides, or that's
what I think the pain is because it goes
away in about 2 minutes max.

They only hurt me if I have cramps real
bad, otherwise they are painless. I
usually swicth between pads and tampons.
Also you could be using a higher
absorbency level than you need to be
using. Get the variety pack. Most women
have it heavy the first couple of days and
then it gets lighter and lighter.

you change them every 2-3 hours

I always got that with tampons no matter
the type or size or applicator. I use
something different now called a Divacup
So yes, that pain is normal  And it sucks.

True; and doing so sucks if you're really
light cause then they're still dry and it
feels like you're pulling out your uterus!

Thanks for all of the advice. I've
switched to the plastic applicator and it
feels a bit better, although my abdomen
still feels a bit funky. I guess I'll get
used to it
