Answers.com does not allow users to post photos, if you want to know what pads and tampons look like search via Google. Tampons and pads don't look alike, one is external and flat whereas the other is normally cylindrical and internal, they look and work differently.

If your tampon keeps slipping should you try pads?

A tampon should not be slipping out - if used correctly the tampon should sit above the narroest part of the vaginal canal, both this and vaginal muscle tone will keep the tampon in place - if tampons are slipping out you need to discuss this with your doctor. If tampons dont work for you then you should consider using pads or other similar external options like period underwear, belts or interlabial pads, you may also still be able to use internal options like sponges, soft tampons, softcups or menstrual cups.

You remove the tampon in the same way that you inserted the tampon, you simply pull out. If your hymen gets in the way then gently push it back so you can pull the tampon out through the hymen.

How do you change a tampon?

You simply pull the tampon string gently but firmly - or insert clean fingers vaginally to grab the tampon itself in order to remove.

You can then insert a fresh tampon or reinsert the reusable tampon - although it's best to alternate with pads after tampon use.

When i use a tampon my flow just passes it. how far is a tampon supposed to be inserted?

Tampons should be inserted as far as you can reach, you shouldn't feel them once inserted correctly. If the flow is going past the tampon it may be the shape of your vagina or the cervix may sit lower than the tampon - the tampon may go to the side of the cervix, rather than under it to catch flow. Try different types of tampons like soft tampons, or use options like menstrual cups, softcups, or pads instead.

Is it bad when your tampon string gets bloody but your tampon is only a little bloody?

Your tampon should be completely saturated with blood after 4-6 hours - if the tampon is dry when removing then you need to use a lower absorbency or switch to pads. If the string is getting blood on it some may be from blood lingering in the vaginal canal before tampon insertion, but it may also be that blood is simply bypassing the tampon. Try different TYPES (not just brands) of tampon, you may also want to consider menstrual cups which don't leak.
