The tampon itself is the cotton wad inside the plastic. The plastic is called an applicator.

So you unwrap it and insert the entire thing into your vagina. It helps to tilt the applicator back a little bit instead of going straight up. Then once it feels snug and the entire thick part of the applicator is in your vagina, you push on the smaller part of the applicator. Imagine a nurse pushing on a syringe. The smaller tube goes inside the larger tube, which pushes the liquid out of the syringe. Same concept with a tampon. The smaller tube goes inside the larger tube when you push on it, and it pushes the tampon into your vagina.

Once the tampon is in your vagina, pull out the plastic applicator and throw it away. The string is just used to pull the tampon out of your vagina when the time comes... in about 4-6 hours or when it's full. You'll know it's full if you have a little blood leaking onto your panties.

Good luck, don't be scared!

I would suggest that you ask your mom, sister, or a trusted woman to help you. It's really hard to explain this online, and they'll best be able to help you.

dont stick anything anywhere if you are confused and scared. Reread the directions and try again when you are relaxed and comfortable. When you push it in the string should be left hanging. Good luck

ok we can think of tampons as needles. what nurses do when they inject you with a needle is push the long stick in to get the liquid out. same thing with a tampon. when you slide the first part of it in push the longer end stink in to release the cotton inside of u. once the longer stick goes into the short one when you push it up slide the whole plastic out and the tampons string should be hanging out and you should be able to see it hanging out. If you dont see it try to find the string inside of you and pull it gently out until it just hangs out. you need this string so that later you can pull on it to get the cotton out. good luck ..and relax

Why you say gross dude? Whats wrong with you, afraid of a vagina it seems. Now to answer your question, really have no idea =/ But dont be scared, sure somebody will tell you =)

ok the string is supposed to be there, thats what you pull to get it out, just put your fingers on the grooves, the part thats right above the stick part, and slide it inside of your vagina, slide it until your fingers (that are around the grooves) are touching yourself. thats how you know its far enough, then push the stick part upwards until it is inside of the top piece. then just pull the whole thing out. its really easy once you get the hang of it. my cousin had to come in the bathroom with me and talk me through it my first time.good luck!
