It depends on the cricumstance.
Most common reasons for pain during tampon use;
- Lack of relaxation
- Lack of lubrication
- Inserting incorrectly
- Using too high an absorbency
- Allergic reaction to tampons
If you are new to using tampons the chances are that you are not relaxing enough or inserting at the wrong angle - make sure you are fully relaxed and aim the tampon towards the small of the back, feel for resistance so you can guide into place.
If you've used tampons before and this is a new problem make sure you are using correct absorbency (always use lightest absorbency for your flow). If you use commercial tampons like Tampax, Playtex or Kotex these contain chemicals you may be allergic to - even if using the same brand as before you may have developed a bad reaction, or they may have changed their ingredients.

∙ 11y agoThey shouldn't.....when inserted correctly, they feel comfortable enough that you probably won't feel it. If it hurts, then you most likely didn't insert too far. If you still feel uncomfortable, you could try junior or slim tampons, or not wear one at all (that is, if you are swimming, you probably should...), just wear a pad or a diva cup! :)

Does putting in a tampon hurt im really scared?
Inserting a tampon should not hurt - being a virgin makes no difference as to whether it will hurt or not because sex doesn't change your vagina in any way - if scared there's no reason to use tampons. When it comes to inserting tampons you're in control so if you do start to feel pain then you just have to stop and address the cause of the pain. As long as you're relaxed and use tampons correctly it shouldn't hurt.

Does it hurt to put a tampon on?
It can hurt to insert a tampon, but it shouldn't - pain is not normal when using tampons.It can hurt if you're not relaxed enough when inserting tampons because the vaginal walls clench together when you're tense, thus you'd be pushing against vaginal walls when inserting tampons. If you use too high an absorbency or if you use tampons you're allergic to this can cause pain, as too will using tampons without sufficient flow. You can also experience pain if you don't insert at an angle or if you don't insert the tampon high enough in the vagina.

Is a tampon hurtful?
A tampon should not hurt you if you're using it correctly. Tampons can hurt if you tense-up during insertion, if you insert at the wrong angle, if you don't insert high enough, if you use too high an absorbency, or if they hit your cervix. Tampons also have health risks such as Toxic Shock Syndrome, and tampons can expand into the cervix which can increase menstrual cramps.

i think so. well, it depends see, i didn't have sexual intercourse for about a month or more to tighten up my vaginal entrance and when i tried to insert a tampon it hurt like hell.

Dose putting in a tampon hurt?
Using tampons shouldn't hurt, although it can be uncomfortable.Tampons can be uncomfortable because they dry-out the vagina and because they can expand into the cervix so increase menstrual cramps. As long as you're relaxed and insert tampons correctly they shouldn't hurt, if you're tensed-up tampon insertion may be painful as you may have to force the tampon into the vagina and if not inserted high enough muscles will push against the tampon as you move. Make sure you're using lowest absorbency for your flow too, if your flow isn't heavy enough then tampons will dry-out the vagina more and friction will cause small vaginal tears.
