No, it shouldn't sting if you're using tampons correctly.

It may be that you're using too high an absorbency for your flow - always use lowest absorbency, if not saturated with blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or switch to pads if already using lowest absorbency. If using rayon tampons these are rougher so can irritate vaginal tissues more than cotton tampons, rayon tampons are also chemically treated so you may be sensitive to something in them - opt for hypo-allergenic cotton tampons, or consider menstrual cups.

Remember too that you need to alternate with pads occasionally, at least overnight while sleeping. If you're still having problems then see your doctor as you may have a vaginal infection or another problem.

Yes, you can use a tampon during your next menstrual period.

Just be aware that your flow may be different to normal, make sure to use correct absorbency.

Where does the tampon go in the genital area?

The tampon goes into the vagina, which is where the blood is coming from.

Use pads for now and spend some time learning the basics of your anatomy before considering tampon use.

Is is safe to try a tampon although you are not on your period?

No. Tampon should only be worn when on a period and taken out several times a day. Bacteria builds in the tampon and can cause a infection called toxic shock syndrome. It will kill if the bacteria enters the blood stream. Young girls starting their periods also should not use tampons for the first year or two. Read the tampon boxes.

When should you know to take your tampon out?

Tampons need to be changed every 4-6 hours.If your tampon leaks then you remove the tampon before this time, and if the tampon leaks within 1-2 hours you may want to use the next absorbency up. Remember you change absorbency as flow changes, if the tampon isn't saturated in blood after 4-6 hours you need to use lower absorbency or if already using lowest absorbency you need to switch to pads as your flow is too light for tampons.Many women use pads or pantiliners as back-up, especially when first using tampons.


How do you use a tamopn?

To use a tampon you simply insert a fresh tampon into your vagina following the instructions given on the box. You have to remember to follow precautions too such as changing every 4-6 hours, no tampon use when not menstruating, always use lowest absorbency, no tampon use overnight, and alternate with pads often. As long as you're relaxed and use tampons correctly insertion is easy.
