Why am I so scared to use a tampon?!


Question: Why am I so scared to use a tampon?
I got my period at 13, and I'm now 14. I swim almost daily, and I haven't been able to swim. I have tried using a tampon before, but I almost get it in then I get scared and give up. Any advice?

Answers:

I use tampons. I'm 19 and have been using them since i was 15. Your first couple times inserting one will be uncomfortable but it is nothing to be afraid of. You will get used to them quickly. Try using ones with a plastic applicator instead of cardboard. It will make them easier. Try and find junior sizes too. I don't know if it comes in that size but tampax sport would be perfect for you. If you cant find juniors get light or regular. GOOD LUCK. and it really isn't that bad and if you are a virgin, no you cannot lose your virginity to a tampon.



It's scary with the first one, but definitely use a tampon with an applicator - I recommend Playtex Sport, be sure to get the "regular" absorbency. These are thin and are designed for vigorous sports such as swimming.

overall, just relax when inserting one. Good luck!



You have to just get used to them. I am the same age and I tried a few times and gave up. One day I just tried and it worked. I have been using them ever since. It is soooo much more comfortable. Also, think of all the women and girls who use them- nothing bad will happen. :)



i'm afraid to use them too but i talked to some of my friends who use them and they said just dont get nervous or else you muscles will get all tense and you can't get it in.. so i guess relax and read the directions :) hope i helped! good luck!



I don't think you should use tampons until your around 16/17 years old. I haven't tried tampon's yet but maybe you should ask your mom what's best for u
