Question:
I used a tampon yesterday, should it hurt coming out?
It didn't hurt at all going in, once I figured it out. I was at a pool party so I had some motivation to do it (I had tried earlier using cardboard applicators.) My friend let me use one of hers, the Playtex Gentle Guide. Everything went great, but when I got home, after about five hours, it HURT to take out. I mean, it wasn't TOO bad, like, I could stand it. It didn't hurt inside, just the actual opening hurt when I was trying to take it out. It was completely saturated and it was the right absorbency. So, why would it hurt to take out? I'm kind of scared to try tampons again, as I'd rather just have no pain with pads.
Answers:
this is totally normal. u should feel the tampon pull as it comes out. after using a tampon a few times it gets easier and doesnt hurt as much. but it is bareable. and if you take your fingers and just help pull the flaps of the vagina apart you can easily get the tampon out.
