I found this on a website.

Here's How:

Relax! Try not to worry about inserting the tampon right the first time. If you are tense it will make insertion harder.

The best time to practice inserting a tampon is during the heavy part of your period. The tampon should glide inside your vagina easily without any discomfort.

Decide if you prefer to insert the tampon standing or sitting. If sitting is your preference, sit on the toilet. If you want to try standing, putting one foot on the bathtub helps.

Hold the tampon applicator in your right hand if you are right-handed, or left if left-handed.

Use your thumb and middle finger to hold the bottom of the larger, outer tube.

Point the tip of the applicator toward your vagina, facing slightly towards the back. The smaller tube should be pointed away from your body.

Use your other hand to open your vagina.

Place the tip of the applicator at the opening of your vagina.

Gently push the smaller end of the applicator in until it is completely inside the larger outer tube. This pushes the tampon into your vagina and out of the tube.

With your thumb and middle finger still on the outer tube, release the smaller tube and let the strings dangle freely.

Gently pull the two tubes out together.

Dispose of the applicator according to the manufactuer's instructions.

When you are ready to remove the tampon, gently pull the withdrawl strings down and forward. The used tampon may be flushed down the toilet.


Tips:

Lubricating the rounded end of the tampon with a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly can make insertion easier the first few times. Don't use petroleum jelly.

Always read the manufactuer's instructions throughly before using any type of tampon.

If the tampon feels uncomfortable it is probably not inserted far enough into your vagina. Try again with a new tampon.

Why? Periods are a big part of life, unfortunately (we definitely got the short end of the stick on this one ladies). If we can't joke and talk about it then we can't help each other out.

It's not like I was saying I would come over and help you, now that would be gross and embarrasing

Have a great day!!!

You're right. I have no problem with the joking.
But, that above forward was SOO detailed that I got a little touchy for a moment, hee hee. LOL!

Pads really do feel like diapers but I just can't get with using tampons. I too have tried but it's just too uncomfortable. Now after reading about this girl's accident I wouldn't feel protected.

I agree...as long as you change your pad frequently, it isn't that bad to wear pads. And it is way better for those of us whose flow is IMPOSSIBLE for even the hugest mother of a tampon

Playtex also expands in diameter rather than lengthwise. That plus some Advil and it feels like any other day of the month

I've been using tampons since I was 12 and was a virgin until 20, so virginity is not the issue. You just have to relax and take your time, and make sure it's, um, "all the way in"

AOX81, thanks for posting that info. I didn't think it was disgusting. There are actually some teens and women out there who don't know how to properly insert a tampon. I know some of you mentioned that tampons are uncomfy which means you proabably don't have it inserted right.

Thank you for thinking it wasn't disgusting. We must be on the same wave length. The reason I posted that was because I know it is a BIG problem with a lot of women and it doesn't embarass me to talk about stuff like that.

I'm gonna head out and get some Midol now...oh wait, that's a whole different thread

Have a great day

Oh, no disrespect AOX81.
Sorry if it that came out the wrong way. Matter of fact, I respect and admire people who are really open about stuff like that.

I think this is a useful topic. The next time some guy PMs me with something too pushy I'll send him some of these replies. Nothing turns a guy off like Tampon talk...lol.
