Ok I just spent a really long time trying
to figure out how to put a tampon in and I
think I finally did.....But I dont think I
did it right cause I could feel it inside
of me and the tip was sticking out....Also
it felt very wierd taking it out....Almost
like it was so tight in there that I was
doing something wrong....I have looked on
lots of websites for help but none seem to
be very usuful. Anyone wanna give me good
instrutions or know somewhere(internet or
wherever really) where I can get them?

What kind did you use? It's hard the
first couple of times.. I remember not
being very successful either. I
recommend one with a smooth plastic
applicator the first times because you are
naturally "tight" down there and they can
be hard to put in! The smooth plastic is
easier to glide "in". You "shouldn't"
feel it.. But sometimes it does take a
few minutes to forget it's there. The
best thing to do when you are first trying
it may be to lie on your back with your
knees bent up.. But it may be different
for everyone. Plus.. Practice makes
perfect!

I started using tampax when I was twelve
and I am now in my late 40s but I can
remember my first time like it was
yesterday,even now and again at the end of
my period when I am not bleeding so much I
feel it inside me to but as the lady said
practise makes perfect but make sure u are
well lubricated as the older tampax with
the card board I have cut myself now I get
the new ones with the plastic applicator
and find them a lot easier, hope things
work out for u wee norma

Yes, make sure they are far in enough.
Stick in the applicator until your hand is
on the tip of it and it can't get in
anymore. Then push the tampon allll the
way in, when you hit the back, you can
feel it, and thats when you know when ro
stop. Eventually you wont have to hit the
back to know when to stop, but its good
the first time.

Try ob, may seem gross without an
applicator, however they are the only ones
that I can use and they are smaller and
seem easier to put in. Just make sure
that you push it in far enough. Good
luck!

I had problems using tampax (i don't think
I can even use it to this day)
i tried once the platex beyond (the purple
ones for the light days) and they were so
comfortable. For the heavy days you
should use the other ones.
I really recommend using any kind of
tampons that you can stand when you have
to be outside your house. Pads are just
so unconfortable and dirty. Ever since
I wear tampons, I even forget I have my
period.
Also it might be a matter of time. This
is like when you first start wearing
contacts or start driving. It takes
practice.

Hi, I remember when I was twelve and
started wearing tampons. What really help
me was putting a bit of vaseline on the
tip of it, made it much easier to slide it
in.

I agree with mayhi that ob are easier.
I also had trouble with regular tampons
and could feel them too much and didnt
think they were in right. With ob, even
tho you have to use your finger to insert
them you dont feel anything afterwards and
they are very comfortable. Good luck =)

You can use a tampon on all days of your
period, unless it is very light. I
suggest trying to use one for a heavier
flow if you leak.

I have problems with tampax, it always
seems like the tip sticking out is too dry
and wide so it hurts...I usually use
playtex, I think the plastic, closed tip
makes it much easier b/c it's not dry on
the end. And put it in slowly and try to
get the whole top wide part inside with
just the thin piece that you push on
outside of your body. Make sure to hold
onto it though after you've pushed it up.
And put it in at an angle, not straight
up. As for positioning, I usually just
spread my legs while sitting.
