Tampons

Yes, any penetration of the vagina can tear or break the hymen, depending on the hymen's shape and thickness. Sometimes strenuous sports can break it. A finger, a tampon, a sex toy, or a penis might break it. However, some hymens are simply too thick to break or substantially stretch without a great deal of effort and pain, in which case you may want to consider a hymenotomy (incision which widens the opening) or a hymenectomy (complete removal of the hymen).
No it's too small. But if you do some hard fiscal activity then yes it's possible.
Yes,it can break your hyman and you will know when it happens many other things can break it aswell.

If you will notice, there are two parts to a tampon., A small skinny part and the wider part that holds the absorbant material. Place your fingers on the wider part that houses the aborbant matieral, insert the applicator all the way until you feel your fingers touch your vagina. Then push the skinny part up and remove the applicator. The applicator is that size so that the tampon can go in far enough without you having to use a ruler(!)

No, you cannot lose your tampon inside your vagina.

Your vagina is only a few inches long, and a tampon can go no further than your vaginal canal because the cervix stops it from going any further than that. If you have a tampon in your vagina then it's not going to get lost, you know exactly where it is and can remove it. Someone forgetting a tampon does not mean it is possible to lose a tampon in the vagina.

its quite embarrassing, but you should just tell him. or next time you go to the store pick some up . Just tell him. He will definitely understand. Believe it or not, your dad is familiar with menstrual cycles and will totally understand that you need tampons. He might be a little reluctant to purchase them for you, but he should be understanding to take you to the store and to purchase them. Make sure that you purchase extra tampons for future use, this will alleviate this issue next month.

Into the vaginal opening. It is important to be relaxed and to make sure you push it all the way in. Push towards the lower back.. In the vaginal hole below the urethra which is where urine comes out of. You should read the directions that come witht he box of tampons. It is helpful. Also, make sure you insert it all the way because if you dont, it will be uncomfortable. Try doing it with one leg up on the toilet. Put it in the whole underneath your legs, gosh. IS IT THAT HARD???? Just dont stick it up your butt hole that would be a bit uncomfertable. I am surprised that sooooo many people asked this question.

There's no reason why a person should use tampons at all, and no age restrictions as such.

Tampons aren't recommended to pre-teens or women in their early teens, this is in part because a person has to be mature enough to understand health risks that come with tampons and be responsible enough to use tampons correctly to reduce those risks. Younger women are at higher risk from Toxic Shock Syndrome because vaginal tissues are more delicate so more prone to tearing through tampon use which allows bacteria and toxins into the bloodstream, but also younger women are less likely to have TSST-1 antibodies to prevent them developing Toxic Shock Syndrome.

If you can, then ask your mom about buying them, or using them, she will be more understanding. If she says no, or your dad says no, explain why you want to use them. Something like, # The pads are not long enough and I'm bleeding over the edge. # I find pads uncomfortable. # I want to be able to go swimming in my period, and I don't want to leave blood in the pool. or if they think you're not old enough, explain that it's nothing to do with how old you are, it's to do with you being happy and comfortable, and if they still say no, definitely say, "Mom! You can't lose your virginity to a tampon!" in a loud voice*, like she's being silly, because, trust me you can't, and sometimes old people believe stuff that's not true, or try and keep you as their little girl by telling you things that aren't true. * I really do not recommend doing this in a public place, unless you're trying to get grounded. Talk to your mom at home.

Some of the symptoms are much the same as the flu, but they can become serious very quickly. The warning signs of TSS are:

Sudden high temperature (102 degrees F/38.9 degrees C or higher)

Vomiting

Diarrhea

A sunburn-like rash

Muscle aches

Dizziness

Fainting or feeling faint when standing up

You will know if you've inserted it the wrong way. It won't feel right, and it won't be comfortable. If you think you've got it wrong, take it out, and start again with a new one. Don't worry about anything. Just be calm, relax, and go for it. We all had to learn, you're not the only one! I hope this information helped.

There is no age limit - although tampons are not the best option for younger women.

Younger women in their early teens or pre-teens are at higher risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), also very young women may not be responsible enough to use tampons correctly which will also increase the health risks associated with tampon use like vaginal infections and TSS.

It's best to start with pads, if a person wants to move on to internal menstrual products then a better option would be menstrual cups which are not only safer than tampons but far more convenient too.

Yes, you can still urinate when you are wearing a tampon.

Tampons go into the vagina, whereas you urinate from the urethra, these are two different areas of your body so do not come into contact with each other. If you're using tampons with a string it's a good idea to move the string out of the way so that it doesn't get wet when you urinate.

Yes, you can use tampons with your IUD.

It's recommended that you avoid using internal menstrual products like tampons or menstrual cups for the first cycle after IUD insertion - this is because your IUD is more likely to be expelled in that first month, so best to avoid internal options that may increase likelihood of this happening. Although long-term tampon use is fine, research has confirmed that there is no increased risk of expulsion while using tampons or menstrual cups after that first month.

This may freak you out but just to let you know the tampon has to go into your vagina.

This is the way I was taught. When you are in the bathroom, use your fingers and insert them where you would the tampon. Gently, feel your way. You get a sense of your body that way. It feels real nice too! Be careful though, it may give a an orgasm. Though orgasms are quite nice.

With the tampon, you can use either the applicator ones, or the non applicator ones. I have found, especially if you are using them for the first time, that you get the the tampons without an applicator. Try and get the ones that have lubricant, or a "silk-touch cover", and a string. The lubricant makes the insertion more comfortable, and the string - well easier to take the tampon out.

First Wash your hands! I inserted my first tampon when I was on the floor with my feet on the sink. Make sure that the first time you insert a tampon have your legs WIDE OPEN! I of course had a mirror to find this hole. RELAX RELAX Then, I started to widen the hole with my finger my measuring how big the tampon is with my finger then I marked it and I put my finger in the hole and stopped when the line was gone in my hole then after I did that a few times I attempted to put my first tampon in. Now, you obviously unwrap the tampon. For your first attempts I would advise you to try when your period is heaviest. Squat down a little bit, with your legs open. Now take the tampon in your fingers and rounded side UP, gently push it inside of you. You will feel the direction you need to be pushing, as you will feel discomfort otherwise.

Push it up quite far, too low and it will cause a lot of discomfort, especially sitting down. Tip: when done, sit on the toilet, with the seat down. If you can't feel the tampon, you've done just fine.

Don't worry about "losing" the tampon inside you, and don't worry if it takes a few tries before you master this. All older women had to learn!

Unwrapped the tampon. Push the applicator inside of your vagina, once your fingers touch your skin, finish inserting the tampon. It should not be feelable, and it should be comfortable.

Tampons can be tricky. I am assuming that this question is from a young lady who doesn't have a female she is close enough to to ask. Here goes, unwrap tampon, make sure the string is securely attached, and dip the tip of the tampon in a lubricant(VASELINE, KY Jelly). DO NOT use Vicks, butter, or fruit jelly. With panties off or lowered to a comfortable level, place one foot on the edge of a stool or bath tub in your bathroom, then insert the tampon aimed at the back of your waist. You may have to wiggle it around a bit until it all of a sudden will slide right in. Remove the applicator and make sure you can feel the string attached, which should hang outside of your body. NOW- NEVER allow it to remain inside for more than 12 hours. At the very least it should be changed every 4 - 8 hrs. The more relaxed you are the easier it will be.

Tampons should not be painful, nor even cause any real discomfort. So if it does, try using a smaller size, or even a different brand. You can also try pushing the tampon further in, or not as far, depending on how far you had been inserting the tampon. If the pain persists, you need to talk to your school nurse or see a doctor. Or you may be able to call and speak to a nurse at your local county health unit.

First, you should find a comfortable position. My favorites are sitting on the toilet, squatting, or lifting one leg up onto the bathtub.

Second, open up the tampon and make sure that there is a string. It could be dangerous to use a tampon without a string because you could forget it is there and suffer from TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). You also need the string to remove the tampon.

Third, it's time to insert the tampon. The vagina points upward, and sort of to the back, so push the tampon up in that direction. When it is in properly, you won't feel it.

A tampon has two parts. A card tube bit and the bit the tampon comes out of.. You put your thumb on the end of the card tube which has the hole in, and you put your middle and index fingers on either side of the bit the tampon comes out of near the middle of the whole thing. Bad diagram, because it's drawn with text symbols, but it should now look like this. c==II==J The c is the rounded end where the tampon comes out, the Is are your middle and index fingers, which are on opposite sides, and the J is your thumb. You put the rounded end into your vagina until your two fingers are touching your vaginal area, then, push on your thumb like a syringe until it's all gone in. If anything but the string is sticking out, pull the tampon out and try again with a new one or it could be really uncomfortable and hurt.

First, get a quiet place like the bathroom.

Get in a comfortable position like squat or put one leg up on the toilet. Take the tampon out of the package and stick it up the vagina all the way until you are touching your skin. Pull the applicator out and you are ready to go! !

First you must find a quiet place to sit or stand, like the bathroom. Get in a position that you are comfortable with. Most girls like to squat down or put one leg on the bath or toilet seat. Now is the time where you spread the folds of skin (minor and major labia) push the tampon up your vagina using the applicator or your fingers (the vaginal opening is under the urethra) Remove the applicator and you're good to go!

In the hole in your vagina. You take it out of the package and the side without the string you put in.

For a more descriptive answer, there are 2 holes. one is where you pee and the other is the hole of you vagina.

DO NOT put it where you pee! That one is the "flappy" one. Insert it into the other one (the lower one). But not your anus. Anyway it should go up and back. It'll hurt the first few times and will be hard to push it all the way back, so try getting the slim or slender tampons first. Just push with the applicator or your finger. But don't just push it back, push it up and back. Otherwise it'll hurt a lot more! If it hurts after you've done it a few (20) times, you may be putting it in wrong. Talk to your mom or an aunt or someone. I know it's hard to talk to someone (because I still haven't talk to my mom about it), but try to get up the courage. Maybe just email her. Anyway, there are plenty of good books out there about it. Try The Care and Keeping of YOU, an American Girl book. I know it sounds babyish, but it's what helped me with my first time with a tampon. It's got lots of other information about nutrition and psychology and all that other puberty-ish stuff. But it's seriously a really really good helpful book.

Firstly you must find a quiet place to sit or stand. Get in a position that you are comfortable with. Most girls like to squat down or put one leg on the bath or toilet seat. Now is the time where you spread the folds of skin and put the tampon up the hole. Make sure the removal string is visible. Do the insertion slowly.

Inserting a tampon- First wash your hands! Then you can lie on the floor or have one foot on the toilet. Of course you should already be undressed from the waist down. Make sure you have a mirror and look for a hole that should not be where your poo comes out. Look for where it was bleeding. And insert there.

Removing a tampon- Just slowly pull the sting out of your vagina. If it hurts then its dry but you must get it out so fill the bathtub and spread you legs wide apart to let water in then try to pull it out. TAMPONS ARE TO BE CHANGED EVERY 4-7 hrs!!

You just have to read the instruction given to you on the packet or box

Unfortunately, there really is no way to quicken your period. Menstruation is natural and the only time you can either decrease your periods or stop them all together is if you're on a birth control.

That varies from one woman to another, and also depends on how early she first began having her period. If a girl began having her periods at ten years old, then she will be more likely to go through menopause earlier than one who didn't have her first period till the age of 14 or 15. But the average age of menopause is in the mid forties.

But also, when a woman begins menopause, she doesn't just suddenly stop having periods; it's a gradual process that can take months or years. There may also be other symptoms, such as, but not limited to, hot flashes, mood swings, forgetfulness, sleeplessness, weight gain, spotty and irregular periods and headaches. You may also experience extreme irritability, indicated by the urge to slap your husband at any given moment for no reason, as I did.

If you experience any symptoms that concern you, or cause real discomfort, discuss them with your doctor, who can prescribe medications to help with any symptoms or discomfort you are having.

It's not recommended.

The first cycle after getting the Mirena inserted is the most likely time for the Mirena to be expelled, althouth long-term research has found options like tampons and menstrual cups don't cause expulsion, internal menstrual products mau increase risk of expulsion the first month. It's best to use pads, especially as your flow may be effected by the coil so with a different flow pattern you may risk using too high an absorbency tampon for your flow.

Yes, it's ok, it's private stuff and doctors see it all the time, it's ok.

The way you tell your mom is in your own way i said to mine Hey mom you know how im growing up and i can get periods i have kinda started them can you run me through what i have to do

I'm sure that there are videos of an actual woman inserting a tampon, but this would be a very specific type of pornography so not easy to find. If you need to see how to insert a tampon then there are many videos on YouTube explaining how to do this and using fake vagina's to show you how. Tampon use is not so complicated that you need a video to know how to do it.

No, it does not hurt, or at least it shouldn't. A little discomfort the first time is normal but if it really hurts, it may not be in far enough. If this seems to be the case, just take it out, and try again with a new one. You shouldn't be able to feel it if it's in all the way, you just might have to get used to the little string rubbing against your leg. Also, if you're having difficulty getting it in, put a little drop of lubricant or vasiline on the tip, and that should make things a bit easier. Just simply follow the directions on the box. If it does hurt after you put the tampon in, then you need to pull a little on the string until you feel comfortable, or take that one out and insert a new one. Please be careful of TSS (toxic shock syndrome), which can happen if you leave it in too long, or if your body just can't tolerate tampons. Good luck:)

Hope this helps =]

Well it might hurt because some girls bodys just aren't shaped for tampons! i wear tampons but my best friend does not cause she does not have the right body shape! if it hurts for you put in a tampon, then just stick to pads its the best choice...

I Hope I Helped You :)
