Girls ONLY?!

Girls ONLY?

When I use a tampon, it hurts for the insertion at first, cuz i do it slow, but then after a while i dont feel it, is it supposed to hurt during the insertion? btw, im 13 and this is my first time. Another question, it seems to be that when I put the applicator in, and my fingers are touching my body I can't seem to push the button thing with my index finger, i dont know why. i tried it with my other hand...and nothing. i checked it before i put it in...im holding it with my thumb and middle finger...and it just wont go on when i push the button. what am i doing wrong? and when I insert the tampon, am I supposed to go slow or fast?

This is all new to me....I'm not used to sticking things up there...it doesnt seem right at all...It really hurts in the beginning, of the insertion but after going farther its okay...is it supposed to hurt? i dont wanna go thru that pain EVERY single time.

Every girls very first tampon insertion will hurt. It is because yuour boidy is not used to having anything up it. The first time I tried it hurt so I kept trying and it slowly got better and didnt hurt anymore because I kept practicing. ALWAYS go slowly because if you go fast it will hurt more. So if you keep using tampons it won't hurt. Of course it will hurt on your very first attempt. It is supposed to hurt in ythe beginning but noty if you keep trying. Try using the applicator with another fiunger. I have never used one before so my applicator answer may not be 100% correct but I a trying. If this does not work, try using a different applicator. It may jsut be the applicator.
