i have my period and i put a pad on but then i realized that in my teen magazine they gave me some tampons and i decided i wanted to try them. i washed my hands before and after putting the tampon in and i had no trouble at all when putting it in. After 5 minutes i decided to take it out and when it became tough to pull it out i began to panic. It really hurt when i pulled it out and it had become bigger. Is this normal? im so scared that i might have hurt myself. Please help me!

Please help me im really scared
-
my stomache feels weird now and i took the tampon out about 30 minutes ago! im really freaked out!!!
-
Why did you pull it out after 5 mins? It absorbs blood and moisture. You gave it no time to absorb anything except the moisture in the vagina and it stuck to the vaginal lining. You need to give it at least a few hours.
You didn't do anything to yourslef and your stomach feels weird becasue it's your period.
-
Not that it matters anymore, but why did you take out the tampon after five minutes?The tampon became bigger because it absorbed some blood. But I don't think it could've absorbed THAT much since you said it was inside for five minutes. And the reason it's uncomfortable when pulling out is because your vagina grips onto anything inside it, since it's a muscular tube.You should be okay.

i took it out cause it felt weird and i didn't feel comfortable leaving it in any longer in case i got that toxic syndrom thing. i was scared! its my first time trying a tampon you could at least give me a break! i bet you were uncomfortable too!!!P.S. so sorry if this sounds a bit mean or harsh im just really scared
-
thank you virtual_star oh and when i pulled it out there was this absolutly gross thing covered in blood dangling from the end! Is this normal?
-
Perfectly normal. You're going to be just fine.
-
ok thank you for your help i appreciate it heapsxoxo

Toxic shock happens only after *I believe* 8 to twelve hours of continuous use, like overnight or something.
-
You mean toxic shock CAN happen after a long time of conitnuous use.....it doesn't always happen after that length of time, ive been sleeping with a tampon in for years and never had any bad side effects.To the original poster, hon it hurt so much cos after 5 minutes the tampon hadn't soaked anything up, remember as it goes in the coated tube is inside, not the absorbant material, its a LOT easier to remove a tampon thats been in place for a while cos its wet for want of a better word. You have scared yourself, for no reason, and i hope you it doesn't put you off using them in the future. Next time, relax, find a good place to position yourself to it goes inside you easily, and leave it in for a while, the best time to try a tampon would be when you're at your heaviest and then you know its not going to pull as you take it out, as it sometimes can when your period is finishing.
-
i bet you were uncomfortable too!!! Nope... I've never used one and never will.
-
thank you so much however i am getting really scared now... all day today i have been having diarrhoea and im scared i might have TSS! It says that it is a symptom of TSS!!! HELP!!
-
Are you still wearing a tampon?
-
There's no reason to suppose you have TSS (which is now a very rare disease). Lots of things can cause diarrhoea, including a virus or a dodgy bit of food.
-
i only wore a tampon for 5 minutes yesterday and haven't worn one since!!!is it possible to be allergic to tampons?
-
Don't worry, an allergy [to tampons, I mean] wouldn't cause diarrhoea. (And it would be very unlikely that you would get an allergy to tampons.)

Honey, relax. You probably ate something bad. You're going to be fine. -
you have to wear the tampon until its time to change it again.. or it will hurt when you pull it out if its dry.. and also if its a big tampon lie super or super plus, that might be to big for your vagina.. depending on how you are.. but yeah ive been through that.. you coulda had it in wrong too

ok well i haven't had anything over the night and on my third day i had really bad cramps! i never get cramps on my third day especailly when it is early! I had it in right cause i couldn't feel it but i wanted to take it out anyway... i only used a slim regular tampon and i am still a virgin (obviously)! its really weird...
