What are reasons why the tampon hurts even if its in all the way?

- Using too high an absorbency.
Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing ulceration in the vaginal walls, so if using too high an absorbency for your flow tampons have even more of a drying effect thus cause even more damage. Rule of thumb; use lowest absorbency and only increase to the next absorbency if the tampon leaks after 1-2 hours, if the tampon isn't saturated after 4-6 hours switch to lower absorbency or back to pads.
- Allergic reaction.
Brands such as Tampax, Playtex, and Kotex are made from rayon which can increase above mentioned ulceration, but also rayon tampons can contain hundreds of different chemicals that tampon companies will not disclose to their customers. You may be sensitive or allergic to chemicals within the tampons you use - try switching to hypo-allgergenic cotton tampons such as Cottons, Natracare, and Maxim which are also a lot safer with lower risks of TSS and no risk of dioxin.
- Using too frequently.
It's important to change tampons often but too often is harmful too as friction from removing and inserting tampons can increase vaginal ulceration. You should change every 4-6 hours and be sure to use correct absorbency, you should also alternate with pads often to allow your vagina a chance to both clean and heal after tampons.
- Increased cramps.
What many women don't realise is that tampons can increase menstrual cramps significantly, the reason is that tampons can expand into the cervix which is already sensitive during menstruation or while absorbing fluids they can 'tug' on vaginal walls. If you have a particularly short vaginal canal (if you can easily reach your cervix during menstruation) or use lengthways expanding tampons like Tampax or Playtex it may be all the more likely that you will experience cramping when using tampons.
Consider using menstrual cups or softcups instead of tampons - these are smooth and collect rather than absorb flow so don't dry-out or irritate the vaginal tissues at all, cups also don't contain any harmful ingredients or increase cramps like tampons can. As well as being more comfortable cups are also significantly safer and more hygienic than tampons, which means unlike tampons they can be worn for 12 hours with any flow and at any time without risks such as TSS, plus menstrual cups don't leak like tampons.

When you sit after applying a tampon does it hurt?
It shouldn't hurt at all when you are wearing a tampon, if it does something is wrong.If it hurts when you sit down it is likely that you have not inserted the tampon far enough, thus as you sit down the vaginal muscles push against the tampon lower down in the vaginal canal. This is common when first using tampons or if you use applicators, next time try non-applicator and push further.
How does it feel to have a tampon in?
It really doesn't feel like anything if you insert it correctly. There are directions on the side of the box, and it hurts if it isn't pushed all the way inside. Hope I helped!
When you insert a tampon does it go past the muscle and right in with the string hanging out or sights on the muscle with the end of the tampon visible?
The tampon goes all the way into the vaginal canal - if that's what you mean by the muscle, as the vaginal canal is essentially a muscular tube. The whole tampon goes into the vagina and quite deep, it wouldn't even be near the vaginal opening once it is inserted so certainly wouldn't hang out. All that hangs out is the tampon string for easy removal, that is if you use a tampon with a string.
Does a tampon prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg at all?
NO !! of course not ,, think about how it got there to start with, no!!!! the sperm got there first... a tampon would just push it in further. Even if you did for some reason choose to have sex with a tampon in, this will not prevent pregnancy because the tampon would just absorb some of the semen, and it would still be "in there" Good luck trying to find the tampon after having sex with it in.
How do you know when your tampon is in right that you would not bleed?
Tampons should be inserted as far as you can comfortably reach or until the applicator plunger is all the way in, once in position you should not feel any significant discomfort - if it hurts to sit or move then the tampon isn't in high enough, push in further or remove and try again in a few hours. As long as the tampon is in the vagina and used correctly you shouldn't leak.
What do Photoshop hurts girls means?
Photo shop hurts girls for numerous reasons. When girls she models that "seem" beautiful to them they want to change who they are. They want curves, big boobs, and tiny waistes. In order to have all this girls must starve them selves or even loose confidence. Not only is this an issue but its a cycle of saddness.
Can a tampon get stuck on its own accord or does it have to be pushed somehow?
A tampon cannot really get stuck at all. A tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal, it can't be pushed any higher than that. As long as you are using a tampon and relaxed upon removal the tampon will come out.
Why does a tampon have a string?
Some tampons have strings in order to make it easier to remove the tampon. Not all tampons have strings, to remove you would insert clean fingers into the vagina to grab the tampon and pull out.
When you insert a tampon do you keep the bigger tube on?
No, when inserting the tampon all you're inserting is the tampon itself and not the applicator.Applicators are just a means of inserting the tampon without you making contact with your genitals, they're actually not needed at all. The applicator is not part of the tampon so you remove it once you've used it to insert the tampon. If using tampons you should understand how they work and how to insert.
How do you know if the tampons in correctly?
You should only be able to see the string, it should be comfy (although even if it's in right it can feel weird the first few times), and if you put the first bit of finger in your vgina, you shouldn't be able to feel the actual tampon.
When was Hardly Hurts at All created?

How do you put a tampon in if you are a boy?
You can only use a tampon if you're menstruating - if you're a boy you may menstruate, but only if you have a uterus and vagina (e.g. if you're a trans boy). If you're a cis boy then there's absolutely no reason for you to be using tampons and nowhere for you to put a tampon as you don't have a vagina. So in short, if you are a boy you do not put a tampon in at all.
