Anyone can use tampons!. Talk to either your mom or your dr!. that way they can show you!. You can buy tampons at the grocery store!. Get the right absorbancy!. First obviously unwrap it!. Then you will hold the tampon facing your vagina, with the string hanging down!. Next you will slowly push in to your vagina until it stops and then push the back of the cardboard in!. Last you will pull just the cardboard out and you should see the string!. If for any reason it feels uncomfortable pull the string and it will come out!. And then try again!.
Don't feel bad if you do not get it in the first try, it took me like 7 times!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm guessing you are a minor!?!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.If you cannot talk to your mom, you are gonna have to talk to a friend that knows or talk to the school nurse, as far as buying them, if you have your own money, just go get them, there is no age limit!.!.!.!.!.!.!.But, I am really hoping you have a good enough relationship with your mom so that she can assist you!.!.!.!.!.!.!.and by the way, there are directions in the box, a diagram to be specific! (I had a cousin when I was young who's mom would not let her use tampons because her mom thought that meant she was having sex, mom's can think of some crazy things), just be honest and let her know you really need help! good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Here's a good website: http://www!.youngwomenshealth!.org/tampon!.!.!.!.
Make sure you get the right tampon absorbency!. Playtex Slim Fits Regular are what I use!.
Also near the end of your period when you bleed less, you should use a pad!. Also, it's suggested that it is safer (from TSS) if you just use tampons during the day and pads at night!.
In the box there are instructions with diagrams!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i know what your going through i used pads up until my sophomore year in high school then i started playing football and i didnt want accidents during my period!. I talked with my mom and let her know how i felt about that and she understood but at first she only let me use them during football because she had a friend die from toxic shock syndrome!. But there are directions in the box on how to put them in and you just buy em at the store honey!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ASK YOUR RFIENDS!!!! If they don't help you chances are they're still on pads!. I had a team of friends help me in front of a miror which really helps!! Seriously ask on of your friends they also probably had a friend help them there first timeWww@Answer-Health@Com
Go buy some yourself and buy the slim ones and just do like the rest of us had too!. Try try try until you get it right, I know I had a heck of a time!. best to youWww@Answer-Health@Com

If your able to go to the store yourself buy O!.B!. tampons without the applicator!. First time using it is too confusing with dealing with the applicator!. I wore pads my first 2yrs and it was so gross and annoying!. I was afraid to use tampons and my mom tried helping me and I tried many times and failed!. I realized that I had to just wait for me to be comfortable enough!. I decided to try using one without an applicator and I was calm so my muscles wouldn't tense up and I was alone and knew I wouldn't be interrupted!. If your embarrassed to talk to your mom try a friend or a friends mom!. Also your doctor or school nurse its not a embarrassing question they'll be happy to help!.
Here's some steps to putting in a tampon:
1!. First open the lips and find the hole first with your finger feel around for it (you can always use a mirror)
2!. Once your comfortable with feeling where the hole is with your finger slowly insert the tampon push it all the way up until you feel its in secure (you can just tell when its up all the way)
3!. push the string between your lips!.
4!. When you need to change it the string will start to hang out!.
You may have to try more than once and use multiple tampons but just be calm and don't force it in!.
5!.Use a pad at night
Then when your okay with putting them up and changing them you can switch to ones with applicators!.
You'll be so happy once you make the switch over to tampons life's so much easier!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
