I am on a swin team and I find tampons really panfull, is there a easier way to get them in? Or a way to swim without a tampon?

well i can't really get the tampons in either but i can give you some tips from friends and my mom (and me):

1. no matter what anyone says, do NOT go swimming without a tampon, even if you think your flow will stop. once your body gets used to the temperature of the water your flow WILL start up again. (and no one wants that to happen, especially you)

2. try using a mirror when putting in the tampon. my house is veryy...modernized..and in one of our dining rooms the whole wall is a gigantic mirror and that kind of helped me see where the vaginal hole was and everything

3. put K-Y jelly on the applicator. DO NOT USE VASELINE! vaseline is extremely harmful and can cause irritation because it is hard for the vagina to get rid of!

4. even though i still cant get tampons in, i found it was a little easier to use a plastic applicator instead of a cardboard one.

5. read the directions on the tampon box and try different angles of insertion.

6. i know this sounds kind of pervy but try sticking ur pinky finger in ur vagina to find the hole.

bottom line: you have to swim with a tampon. you should also always ask your mom or sisters for advice. good luck!

i still cant get mine in...but im gona see the gynecologist maybe she will help me or something...if you cant get urs in i suggest you see the gynecologist asap too.
