i tried my first tampon today. it was just a practice one though. i got the regular type w/ a plastic applicator:P anywho, it went in just fine, the problem started when i tried to pull it out.... i gently pulled the string and all went well unil the bottom of the tampon reached the entrance to my vagina... It Hurt, and i could barely pull it out lol. what im worried about is that when i get my period, it will be BIGGER and therefore harder to pull out.. am i doing something wrong here?? :confused:
-
YYYEEOwCH! lol please answer soon, i hate pads:P
-
In reply to: harde to pull out.. am i doing something wrong here?? crude question i know but how long did you leave it in for? cos at the end of my period when the tampon is still 'dry' it does take some pulling out lol
-
i only had it in in for about 2 mins lol. my period starts again tomorrow, and i just got them tonight. ok, so youre saying you HAVE to have your period to get the tampon lubed???? lol

yep definitely, won't be as painful when....lubed *smiles*
-
Yep, as Angel said...Lubed. And actually, sometimes, when on your period and the tampon is soaked, it could almost come out on its own.

yeah when you cough *laffin*
-
Ya, when coughing, but I didn't have the prob till I had children...although, that made even the dry ones come out easy. Ironically, I am educating my "new to periods" children to this. ( not the pregnancy thing), just the tampons
-
definitely leave it in for a while and only do it when you've got your period, but if its still difficult i've found that a tiny bit of vaseling on the tip of the tampon helps--get it in though ...especially if you're using the regular cardboard applicator ones, which are more discreet since you don't hvae to throw the applicator into the trash :wink:
-
Vaseline should never get close the the vaginal opening
-
really!?!? my friend gave me that "tip"... i've only done it like once or twice though
-
vaseline can cause some nasty infections in a woman's vaginal
-
uh oh, i hope you're okayi actually have never used a tampon, my friend told me we were only suppose to use them after having sex i use maxi pads rite now.
-
An after sex tampon?? Never heard that one before. Can you or someone explain that for me. Not trying to take away from the original post.
-
im sry, i must sound really stupid. thats just wat my friend told me. she tells me alot of things and at least half of them are true.
-
No, no no no no, that did not sound stupid. Just because I've never heard that before dosen't mean it dosen't exsist. Quit being so hard on yourself.
-
What I think she means is that alot of people are worried about breaking their hymen with a tampon. So until you have sex and break it they don't beleive in using them.
-
Ahhhh. I see now. Makes sence. Thank you
-
Your friend is wrong.
-
yeah, thats wat i meant. sry it didnt come out rite. lol amanda, i guess she is
