Pushing down on the plunger of the applicator is what pushes the tampon into the vagina.

There are many reasons why inserting tampons may hurt including you being too tense when inserting, inserting at the wrong angle, or using too high an absorbency. It would help if you were to use a non-applicator tampon to improve control and feel for resistance to insert the tampon correctly.

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.

Does it hurt when you pu in a tampon?

No, as long as you're using them correctly tampons shouldn't hurt to insert.Tampons can hurt if you're not relaxed enough - if you're tense your vaginal muscles tense causing the vaginal walls to clench together, this narrows the vaginal canal and means having to push the tampon against vaginal muscles, it also makes it more likely you'd push the tampon into a vaginal wall rather than guiding it up into place. If you use too high an absorbency then this can cause pain due to friction of the dry tampon against the delicate vaginal tissues. Just relax and use correctly.


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.

How do you put a tampon in Any references?

To insert a tampon, wash your hands, then unwrap the tampon and find a comfortable position (sitting, standing, or squatting). Hold the tampon applicator and insert it into your vagina at a slight angle until your fingers touch your body, then push the applicator to release the tampon. Make sure the string is hanging outside your body for easy removal. Remember to change your tampon every 4-8 hours.
