When I remove my tampon, it is intensely
painful. The last time I took one out, I
discovered the reason for this pain is
that the tampon is getting caught on a
thin strip of skin and pulling on it. I
don't know what this is, or what caused
this and if it is normal.

It sounds like it might be getting caught
on your hymen. Most girls tear their
hymens around puberty from running,
jumping, masturbating, and using tampons.
Some hymens are more durable though, so
they don't break as easily. That means it
might cause you some pain and discomfort
when you use tampons or have sex. If it
proves to be a real problem, talk to an
ob-gyn about it. Some hymens are so tough
that the doctor actually has to cut them.
