How do you take out a tampon?

Answer 1

If it hurts to take out, it is probably because it's too dry. So what I like to do is to just go to the bathroom (pull the string out of the way), with the tampon in. Then the tampon will get moist and it will be easier to slide out. It always works for me. :)

Answer 2

You remove the tampon once it's full - it should be full within 4-6 hours, if not saturated in that time you need to use a lower absorbency and if you struggle to comfortably remove the tampon as it's dry in places try sitting in a shallow bath and helping the water get to the tampon.

If using tampons with strings you just gently but firmly pull on the string, don't worry the string is unlikely to snap but even if it does it's no big deal, to remove tampons without a string just insert clean hands vaginally and pull the tampon out. Make sure to relax as if you tense the vaginal walls to clench around the tampon, watch it doesn't get caught behind your hymen too.

Once removed wrap-up the used tampon in toilet paper or sanitary bags and throw in the bin.

To remove a tampon...

If you're using tampons with a string then you simply relax and pull gently but firmly on the string, the tampon will slide out as long as you're relaxed. Once removed wrap-up and throw in the bin.

If you're using soft tampons these sit high in the vagina and don't have strings, but they have a slit in the tampon you can hook your finger into to pull out. Once remove wrap-up and throw in the bin.

If you're using sponge tampons or cloth tampons without strings insert clean fingers vaginally and pull out the tampon itself. Once removed rinse and clean before reinserting.
