Fear of putting a tampon in?? Please help !?!

Hey girl! Dont listen to all of those other girls asking you why you need to use a tampon! I was one of those girls that just NEEDED to too because i just hated pads! Lol sooo :P to them! Anyways i felt the same exact way you did about tampons but, i conquered my fear and just went for it. I was sooo happy because it didnt hurt and i could barely even feel it when i was putting it in. Dont worry about the feeling, trust me. Everything is worth it once you get it in and you dont have to worry about pads anymore! The only thing that is mildly uncomfortable is taking it out, and even then its no biggie. Dont worry about it, just relax. I PROMISE, its all good haha :)
Good luck! I hope this helps!

sounds like you need to explore your body a lil more try grabbing a hand mirror and propping it between your knees and taking a look. touching it will create "odd sensations" as you said but I have a feeling that if you try some light touches on the outside you will enjoy it ;) you can pull apart your labia (the outer lips) and you will see your inner labia and vaginal opening. you should be prideful over your feminine body including your vagina just as men are prideful over their penis, it's beautiful! If you desire you can even slid a finger inside just to ease your mind that nothin crazy is gunna happen! and honestly once you have the tampon in properly you cant even feel it.

Tampons are wayyy more comfortable than a pad, because you can't feel the blood gushing out AT ALL. (unless you don't change them often enough, that's happened to me before, quite embarrassing)

I started wearing them my very first period. When ever I wear pads, I feel disgusting. Also, I'm active in sports so I need to wear tampons. Just wear a liner with it just in case it leaks. Experiment with different brands and absorbencies to see what works best for you. I prefer tampax pearl, but everyone is different. Wear a pad with the tampon if you have a real heavy period.

Good luck =)

im 17 and i have been using tampons since i started my period when i was 10. its very easy and you hardly have to touch yourself at all. and you cant feel it when its in and if you can feel it just take it out and try again cuz then its not in right...but dont keep it in for more then 4 to 8 hours that can lead to bad things... i use pads when i go to bed to be safe with it so i only use them in the day time. but there not bad and you dont feel it at all just dont forget to change it and you will be fine.. preferred ones to use are tampon pearl there not too big and there my favorite. hope this helped good luck!

Ok firstly why do you NEED to use them? secondly to get odd sensations when you touch yourself down there is perfectly normal. There really isn't all that much to it, yes it will feel odd at first but once you have inserted it you won't feel any different, have a practice first see how you go, each day try again untill you get used to the sensations before you know it you'll be using them regularly with no problems.
Good luck xx

I'm with you! I started mine for the first time this week and I am already sick of pads but I am scared to stick the human plug up there. And I tried to yesterday too and chickened out! Good to know that there is someone in the same boat as me. I think you should just relax and just do it like nike says. It can't be so bad after all if about 50% of the population does it on a monthly basis, right? Just be sure to use the smallest size so it doesn't hurt

It's nothing to worry about, it might just feel a bit odd at first but it doesn't hurt. And once you're used to it you don't even notice it! Just make sure you put it in far enough because otherwise it will be uncomfortable. As for being worried about touching yourself there, don't be because it only takes a second and you're done :) good luck!

You don't need to do it. I've never done it and I'm 18. I just wear pads. Unless you're being forced to swim or something, you don't need to. Also, the experience your feeling is your clitoris... it's what makes sex feel good. But yeah, it does hurt, it breaks your hymen, there will be blood.

Wear a pad instead, they're better than tampons anyway.

Use the plastic applicators and u will b fine.
