There are some tampons that are made more slender to be easier to insert and wear, especially for a young girl. Look for brands that say "slender" or "teen" on the box. Or you could wear a smaller size pad, they have ones that are thin and yet can be worn for a few hours at a time. They would say something like "thin maxi" on the box.

∙ 9y agoIf you wore tampons you'd still have to use pads; tampons can't be worn before your period, with light flow, overnight, if you have a vaginal infection, and you should alternate with pads.
You could use options such as menstrual cups or softcups which are internal like tampons but safer so can be worn at any time without needing to use pads, many prefer these to tampons.
You could use better pads, often women who dislike pads do so because they use commercial pads which are uncomfortable and unhygienic, try cloth pads which are a lot more comfortable.
Deal with your fear of tampons, figure out what is it you're scared about and recognise that you are in control of insertion so no reason to be scared of insertion, get suitable tampons for your needs.

What if you are scared to insert a tampon?
If you're scared to use a tampon then simply don't use one - use pads or cups.There's absolutely no reason to use tampons, but then there's also absolutely no reason to be scared of them either.

I am having trouble with putting a tampon in i have a normal flow i guess but i hate pads because u jus sit in your mess all day EWW Any tips to easily put a tampon in?
Check out the related link. Putting on a tampon can be tricky. Maybe ask a trusted female to direct you (standing outside the door/stall) such as a teacher, friend, etc. If you cannot feel your tampon, it is in correctly! Also, ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER INSERTING A TAMPON. Failing to do so can result in infection. As for pads, changing regularly can help. (it can also be costly) Diva-cups are similar to tampons, but are reusable so it's obviously a money-saver.

If you don't know how to use tampons it's best that you don't - learn more about tampon use, tampon risks, and the precautions you need to follow to reduce your risks. You also don't go from pads to tampons, when you use tampons you still have to use pads: before your period, on light days, overnight while sleeping, if you have a vaginal infections, and it's best to alternate with pads. Consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups, but if still determined to use tampons then just talk to your mom and she'll help you learn more - it's your responsibility to learn correct tampon use.
How do you take out a tampon with a septate hymen?
You remove the tampon in the same way that you inserted the tampon, you simply pull out. If your hymen gets in the way then gently push it back so you can pull the tampon out through the hymen. If you have problems then you can always use pads instead, and ask for surgery to have the hymen cut so that it doesn't pose you any more problems - but whether you do this or not is up to you.
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.

Can you use tampons with a prolapse ring?
No, a tampon cannot get stuck in the uterus. Tampons sit within the vaginal canal, at the top of the vaginal canal is the cervix which is the opening to the uterus - the opening within the cervix is too small for a tampon to pass through, also the tampon sits slightly lower down than the cervix.
If your tampon keeps slipping should you try pads?
A tampon should not be slipping out - if used correctly the tampon should sit above the narroest part of the vaginal canal, both this and vaginal muscle tone will keep the tampon in place - if tampons are slipping out you need to discuss this with your doctor. If tampons dont work for you then you should consider using pads or other similar external options like period underwear, belts or interlabial pads, you may also still be able to use internal options like sponges, soft tampons, softcups or menstrual cups.
