When you put a tampon is, you have to push it as far up as you can, don't worry it's not dirty to put your finger up your vagina to push it up. Once it's in, you should try standing up to see if its comfortable. In my opinion i think tampons are easier & more hygenic than pads. I feel more comfortable and don't feel self concious.
No. The tampon is right at the opening of the vaginal entrance - it can not reach your stomach. And even if it could it would be too small to feel. You have both ovaries and uterus and intestines but I bet you can't feel them. A tampon is smaller.
If you can feel the tampon of feel uncomfortable once you have closed your legs then the likelihood is that the tampon isn't inserted high enough. The first few inches of your vaginal canal are narrower than further-up in the vagina, if not inserted far enough the tampon will sit in this area and as the vaginal muscles push together they would push against the tampon. This area also has more nerve endings so even if there is no discomfort you are still more likely to feel the tampon if it's here.
If it is right after you have one in, or if you are new to using them it is normal to feel that way
A tampon can feel different for each person, but when inserted correctly, you should not feel it. It's important to choose the right size and absorbency for your flow to ensure comfort and prevent leakage. If you feel discomfort, it may not be inserted correctly or may not be the right fit for you.
If you do not insert a tampon correctly you may notice it sticking out of the vagina, also you may feel discomfort or even pain as you sit and move about. If you have problems inserting tampons then check the instructions and try again another time, be sure to relax and use correct absorbency.
You should only be able to see the string, it should be comfy (although even if it's in right it can feel weird the first few times), and if you put the first bit of finger in your vgina, you shouldn't be able to feel the actual tampon.
Alright, I'm going to answer this because I am extremely happy I don't have to wear pads anymore and I just efficiently used my first tampon and I want to help others. First, make sure you know where your vagina is. Get the tampon opened and ready (after you washed your hands) and you HAVE to RELAX. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly and think of something happy and calm. To be honest, I tried the one leg on the toilet seat thing but it didn't work for me. I eventually ended up on my back on the floor with my legs spread out. Start feeling around with the tampon.. I know this sounds weird, but you'll understand why once you try. If you try putting the tampon in and it just "pops" back out, you haven't found the right hole. It happened to me. So feel around and aim the tampon back towards your waist a tiny bit and there should feel like ANOTHER hole in your vagina. If you find it the tampon slides right in really easily. I really hope this helps!!
No.
Yes, a man would know if you have a tampon in when he inserts his fingers into your vagina. He would be able to feel the tampon inside the vagina.
You may, particularly if it's large or has been in for a while. If you feel discomfort when sque3ezing your muscles, the tampon probably isn't in far enough.
It's not weird at all to feel that way. But remember that now it's your friends turn and that instead of being sad be happy for her. And also tell her how you feel.
I feel weird because it feels all scaly and weird.
