Okay, I deleted that answer about dicks, whoever wrote that is immature and stupid. This is a serious question and I understand why you want to know. I recently started using tampons myself and I've come to a few conclusions to your answers. So, I'm not sure what it looks like inside of you, but if you leave it in long enough, it'll expand to the size of your vagina, or that's what i think. Try not to push the tampon in to much otherwise it will make you feel quite sick! When you first put it in, it might be a little uncomfortable...depending on the opening. What I did was put Vaseline on a Q-tip and put it in, so you know where it'll go, or instead of a Q-tip your finger...if you don't mind the blood. Then, put Vaseline on the tampon (i suggest a plastic covering, it's easier) and push it in, there should be directions in the box or whatever. You should only use tampons if you want to swim or you do sports. Pads are actually the safest way because if you forget about the tampon, it could cause Toxic shock syndrome and you could potentially die. If you bleed a lot the blood might actually go to the string outside, but it shouldn't. If you have questions you should really ask your doctor because she/he really can help, especially if it's a woman who knows what to do. I love wearing tampons so i hope you do too, good luck, i hope it helped!

Is it safer to use a tampon or a pad during your period?
It's about your personal preference. Pads are comfier and don't hurt in my opinion.
Why type o blood is safer?
o+
What does it mean when you're wearing a tampon but blood still gets in your underwear?
It could mean that you're wearing the wrong absorbency - if the tampon is full and leaking within 1-2 hours you may need to use a higher absorbency, just remember that if the tampon isn't saturated with blood after 4-6 hours you need to use lower absorbency or switch to pads. You may want to consider menstrual cups which are internal like tampons but hold more and have light suction so don't leak like tampons, they're also safer and more convneient too.
What should you do if you left a tampon in for almost 5 hours?
Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours, so leaving for 5 hours is perfectly normal. If you don'tknow how to use tampons correctly then you should be using them - learn correct use, or use safer options like pads or cups.
How should sexism be resumed?
oh. by safer sex. safer abilities. & safer people. you know. ;)
I had my first period and I tried to use super tampons but they don't go right in. What should I do?
First off, never use a larger tampon than what you need in order to prevent toxic shock. If you're on a light day, use "thin" or "light" size. If your blood flow soaks right through a normal tampon, then use a super size only as long as you must.If the tampon doesn't slip in, it might be you are angling it wrong, tensing up, or you're too "dry." Remain relaxed when inserting a tampon. Your PC muscles should be at rest. Try slipping the tampon in at an angle toward the back, pushing toward the spine just slightly, instead of straight up. This will follow the natural curve of the vagina.If you're simply too dry, make sure you are drinking enough water or herbal tea. Raspberry tea is especially helpful to ease cramping. Meanwhile, keep a small bottle of natural lubricant in your purse along with the tampon. KY or Astroglide work well. Although you might be a little ashamed to buy them, they are perfectly natural pieces of a warrior woman's "armor." Apply a little gel to the tampon applicator, and it should slip in with ease.
Wear do you put the tampon?
The tampon goes into the vagina - where the blood comes from. However if you don'tknow enough about your anatomy to know where tampons are inserted it's a bad idea to use tampons. You need to know enough about your anatomy to understand how tampons effect vaginal health so you know how to use tampons correctly to reduce risks, also so you know enough to make an informed choice about whether to use tampons or other safer options.
I left a tampon in for about twenty hours is this very dangerous or am I okay?
Yes, it's dangerous to have left a tampon in for so long - tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours.The longer you leave tampons the longer bacteria have to multiply and the longer your vagina is prevented from cleaning itself, not to mention that if you went that long without leaking you were using too high an absorbency so the tampon may have caused more vaginal tissue damage. Thus there is a risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (watch for low blood pressure and high fever) and vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis (watch for bad smelling or excessive discharge).
Is it normal to only bleed on one side of your tampon after childbirth?
It can be normal if the tampon sits to one side of your cervix or if your vagina is such that the blood only leaks fdown one side of your vaginal canal so only hits one side of your vagina. If the whole tampon isn't getting saturated with blood then it's not safe to be wearing them as this will increase risk of TSS - with less blood to absorb the tampon will dry-out vaginal tissues on that side of the vagina more, causing increased damage that allows TSST-1 toxins easier access to your bloodstream. I recommend trying menstrual cups or softcups, these will solve this problem plus a lot safer and more convneient than tampons anyway so a much better option in general.
How do you prevent stains while on your period cause I need help?
Preventing stains while on your period can prove to be a bit difficult without proper menstrual knowledge. When using a pad, you need to change it on your heaviest days once every hour or two. When using a tampon, change it every two to three hours on your heaviest days (sometimes more often depending on the amount of blood). A menstrual cup will hold a lot more blood than either a pad or a tampon and is overall much safer than a tampon with no risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (which is caused by the massive amount of chemicals in tampons). For extra protection regardless of what you use, get a panty liner.
After coming out of the water will you begin to bleed even with a tampon in?
As long as you're using the tampon correctly you shouldn't leak when you come out of the water, although water can saturate the tampon so may result in leaking. It's best to use options like menstrual cups, in general they are more convenient and safer than tampons, when it comes to swimming they are best as they don't increase cramps or leak like tampons can.
You used a tampon instead of a condom could you still be pregnant?
Yes, of course you could be pregnant. Tampons are a form of menstrual product, to absorb blood during menstruation, they are not in any way a form of birth control - thus semen may reach the egg, thus resulting in pregnancy. If a person doesn't know to use birth control or practice safer sex then they should not be having sex as it risks unwanted pregnancy and STD transmission.
