Tampons

If you haven't lost your virginity yet, you will feel pressure because you don't put anything in there. So to insert a tampon there, its normal to feel pressure-especially the first few times you do. Nothing to worry about. :)

No. The sperm which will get you pregnant is too far inside of you to be effected by a tampon. It will, however, stop the wet feeling. It is not a good idea to use a tampon for anything except a period as it will dry you out too much and may cause toxic shock syndrome. If you are wet use a pantie pad.

Okay, I deleted that answer about dicks, whoever wrote that is immature and stupid. This is a serious question and I understand why you want to know. I recently started using tampons myself and I've come to a few conclusions to your answers. So, I'm not sure what it looks like inside of you, but if you leave it in long enough, it'll expand to the size of your vagina, or that's what i think. Try not to push the tampon in to much otherwise it will make you feel quite sick! When you first put it in, it might be a little uncomfortable...depending on the opening. What I did was put Vaseline on a Q-tip and put it in, so you know where it'll go, or instead of a Q-tip your finger...if you don't mind the blood. Then, put Vaseline on the tampon (i suggest a plastic covering, it's easier) and push it in, there should be directions in the box or whatever. You should only use tampons if you want to swim or you do sports. Pads are actually the safest way because if you forget about the tampon, it could cause toxic shock syndrome and you could potentially die. If you bleed a lot the blood might actually go to the string outside, but it shouldn't. If you have questions you should really ask your doctor because she/he really can help, especially if it's a woman who knows what to do. I love wearing tampons so i hope you do too, good luck, i hope it helped!

Yes, you can wear tampons.

The vagina of a virgin is absolutely no different to that of a non-virgin so there is no reason why a virgin should avoid tampon use - although tampons are not recommended to pre-teens or teens given higher risks of TSS, pads or menstrual cups are best.

Tampons don't cause cervical cancer, although some brands of tampons like Tampax or Playtex can contain dioxin which increases cancer risks, they do not directly cause cervical cancer. If worried use organic cotton tampons like Natracare or Emerita, sponge tampons like Jade & Pearl, menstrual cups or softcups - all are much safer options.

If you use a tampon three days after a colposcopy with biopsies, you could disturb the clot on the biopsy sites and they could start bleeding. Take out the tampon and just use pads for a couple of weeks.

You can use anything you like - pads, tampons, cup -- with your period after stopping depo provera.

Monistat is used to treat vaginal infections - tampons should never be used during a vaginal infection. Tampons are a major cause of vaginal infections as they encourage harmful bacterial growth, prevent vaginal cleaning, and effect vaginal pH - thus could make your infection worse or trigger another infection, using tampons when your vaginal flora i sout of balance also increases risks of toxic shock syndrome. The treatment needs to be allowed to readjust your vaginal flora and flush out, tampons prevent this.

NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. Tampons can, and often do, contribute to urinary tract infections. The cord which facilitates expellation of the tampon can harbor bacteria, especially e.coli, and this can easily get into the urinary tract and develop into infection. If you need good menstrual control, there is something you can buy called "Instead". Target stores used to carry them, and some may still. They are a terrific alternative to tampons, as they are similar to diaphrams except they are made of silicone, which tends to inhibit bacteria. They DO take some getting used to, since they "catch" the blood and need to be removed and cleaned periodically, but for someone who is prone to infection or has concerns such as a stint, they are a much better alternative to menstrual pads.

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!!

The tampon goes all the way into the vaginal canal - if that's what you mean by the muscle, as the vaginal canal is essentially a muscular tube. The whole tampon goes into the vagina and quite deep, it wouldn't even be near the vaginal opening once it is inserted so certainly wouldn't hang out. All that hangs out is the tampon string for easy removal, that is if you use a tampon with a string.

No, tampons cannot just fall out whether on an inner tube or doing any other activity. Tampons are held in place by vaginal walls, with the narrowest point of the vaginal canal beneath the tampon to keep in place.

Not usually, unless you inserted it incorrectly.

There's nothing to say that you should use tampons full-stop, you have other options you can use instead. Jr tampons are light absorbency tampons, only named jr tampons in the US to try to encourage young women to use tampons earlier in order for tampon companies to increase product loyalty early. If you do use tampons you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow, if that means using jr tampons then those are the ones that you will use.

If you're experiencing light bleeding then you shouldn't be using tampons at all because this increases your risks of TSS. I'm not sure what you mean by causing bumps, tampons go inside your body and unless you regularly examine yourself wiht a speculum you'd not be able to see any bumps inside your vagina that could be caused by tampon use.

I'm sure if lesbians live together then they do buy tampons and pads in bulk and both use tampons from the same boxes, just the same as any other women living together may do - of course a tampon can only go in one vagina at a time.

Junior tampons are the lowest absorbency tampons, called junior or lights. These can be found anywhere that sells tampons, so places like supermarkets or pharmacies. There are also companies online that offer monthly tampon subscription services that will sell junior tampons too.

Honey, If you don't want to get pregnant(or lessen the chancees greatly) USE A CONDOM, or better yet get the pill, shot, some form of birth control! That being said you have the same amount of chance than if you weren't wearing your tampon. The days surrounding you period tend to be lower percentage of getting pregnant than about two weeks before of after your period. But nothing is a sure thing. Also, studies show that the "pull-out" method is anywhere from 70-85% effective, depending on how good of a judge your partner is to know when to pull out. If he comes a litle inside you, your chances for the pull out method are pretty much null and void, all it takes in one little sperm. Also Precum can occur anytime during intercourse and though less potent than ejaculatory fluids it still can contain some sperm. I suggest waiting 12 days to 2 weeks from the time you had sex and taking a pregnancy test (thats when hormones from pregnancy start to become noticeable on an at home test)

Yes, you can swim in a river with a tampon. There are no special concerns about doing so, whether it's a river, pool, or lake.

No, of course girls don't have to use tampons.

During menstruation there are many options that girls can use - tampons, sponges, pads, liners, period underwear, menstrual cups, diaphragms softcups, etc. or girls can go without using anything at all, methods like menstrual release mean women can learn to control their flow so they can let it out just as they would when going to pee, and thus don't need to use any form of menstrual product like tampons.
