Ummm quick question... How far are you suppose to put the tampon in? @-.-@ I've tried but it was uncomfortable. Is. The blue part of the string suppose o be out or in?
Is it safe to sleep with a tampon in? my Aunt said yes if its the last thing i do at night and the first thing i do in the morning. what do u think helpppppppppppp
@MyAngle1231 It doesn't follow the instructions in the box to change them every 4-6 hours at least. But, I have been known to use them at night as your aunt has recommended during the first 2 nights of my cycle since they are very heavy. A super tampon and an overnight pad keep me from making a mess. The rest of the nights I just use a pad. Holly
@matylduhastaramuha I'm so sorry about your tampon experience. The only time it feels uncomfortable is perhaps if you didn't get it in far enough. If you do get it in all of the way you shouldn't feel it at all. Thanks for your thoughtful encouragement. We love to hear it. Happy New Year, Holly
I used a tampon a couple of days ago at school because I forgot to pack pads that day and I was so scared to insert it but when I did it it hurt a lot but I thought that it was going to go away after a while but it didn't so I was in pain for like half of the day. My homeroom teacher is a health teacher, so I asked her for a pad but unfortunately she didn't have a pad. So I asked my friend if she had anything but she didn't so I checked in my bag and I found one. So I didn't even need to use a
@lifelaughlatte thank u sooo much, my friend got mad about the same thing and she said is going to write a note to the office saying lots of girls r mad and we should have them in our bathroom. I do have a pocket jacket and i will do that!
@TheAnime161 6 Hours is supposed to be the max amount of time. Right before I go to bed on my very heaviest days I will usually put in a Super tampon and an overnight pad. I change it 8 hours later when I wake. I do that about 2 nights of my 6 days of bleeding. The rest of the nights an overnight pad works fine. I'll take a quick shower to clean up in the morning. Holly
I have a question. It's kind of uncomfortabl/a little bit of pain when I take it out because it feels like its really stuck up there...is that normal? Should I just take my time when pulling it out? Oh and what if the string broke? I always been freaked out that something like that might happen D: Thank you for your time and info.
@SmileyyWasHere Make sure that you use the right size for your flow. Second, wait a little longer to see if it fills more with blood. If it is coated with blood it should come right out. The string it woven through the whole tampon so it won't break. Holly
Im not for sure what absorbency i should use i have been using regulars for a while but i keep bleeding on the string one time i leaked through but it only happened once. Is it a good idea to try supers? Help Please!
@ipodgeak123 It is fine to try supers. I mainly just use them on my heavy days and then switch to regulars as soon as I can. They really aren't that much bigger. Holly
@SoccerPlayerSinger43 I think it is always best to talk to your mom. You could just write her a note and say "I really want to use tampons because ______. If you think we should talk about it can you privately bring it up with me? If not, I just wanted you to know." I think in either case she will like that you wanted to include her. Holly
@iamnumberfour97 It really shouldn't hurt. It is a different sensation you haven't had before, but it is not painful. If there is any discomfort just put a little vaseline on the applicator and it will glide in easily. Yes the tampon goes in your vagina to soak up the blood. Holly

@lifelaughlatte well my sister is over 18 so she does but my mom didn't let her but after my sister had a baby, my sister went of and bought them and my mom didn't say anything cause u know she wasn't a virgin but my big sister has told her a million times that a tampon does not take away ur virginity she seems more convinced but still says I'm to young and I might hurt myself down there so it's kinda hectic but i ask every month and my best friends moms think the same so we all have the same i
@MsBabygurlprincess I see now why she is extra cautious. Try to be patient. Does your mom use them? It could be she is worried because she doesn't use them.

I really want to use tampons bug my mom says no cause she thinks they can take away my virginity but my big sister already told her that It doesn't and btw I'm 13 what age do u think I should start using tampons cause wearing a tampon is easier for gym
@MsBabygurlprincess I think as soon as someone starts a period they can use tampons. But, I also think listening to your moms feelings and honoring them is very important. In my mind virginity is about two things...sexual intercourse and willingly deciding to give yourself to someone you love which is a mental thing. Your hymen is rarely effected by tampons. And frankly your hymen is not your virginity. You may just need to give her time. Does she allow your sister to use them? HOlly

Is the Platex Sport kind good or would just the more slim ones work? Please answer all my questions? Thanks so much for taking ur time to do this!!!(: u two r like my 2nd and 3rd mom!! Even though I've never meet u!! Haha
@misspiggieful Platex sport is fine. Usually good to start with slim to get used to inserting the tampon, but not much difference between slim and regular as far as size so if you have regular just use that. Fine to use Super on heavy days too. Holly
I have a question sept.5 I think i got my first period and felt nothing related to PMS except that i was moody my period lasted for 4 days so it ended sept. 9 during the day my flow was light offcourse but at night it would pause and when I woke up in the morning the pad was clean and it pause every single night of the 4 days of my period is this spottin or the real deal and it has been 29 days since sept. 9 and i have not had my second period . Please help im confused if i have started yet
@MyMakeupStash1 I think this all sounds perfectly normal. Some girls experience heavy flow at night, some nothing at all. Different for everyone. I think you had a real period, but it can often take a year for things to normalize. So, don't be surprised if it skips a month and then comes back. Or, if next time is heavy instead of light. Your body is figuring it out. Holly:)
@ArtLuver101 3-5 hours depending on your flow. If you go to the restroom and you see any blood on the string you should definately change it. Wear a panty liner too...particularly as you are getting used to figuring out when to change it. Holly
Hi holly! I havent had my period yet, but I want to know if I am physically ready for a tampon. I just put my finger up there to see and my pointer finger could fit 0 \\\ 0. Am I physicallu ready for a tampon?
@ArtLuver101 Only use one when you start your period because it will be uncomfortable to remove if there isn't any blood flow. As soon as you start you can use tampons. Start with slender regular first to get used to it. Holly
@theturtlelover12345 Maybe they are weird too?! Focus on who you are, school, activities, friends, hobbies, church, and before you know it someone interesting will pop into view and you weren't even trying. Holly
@Twilight19922008 Yes. The tampon has two plastic parts that fit together. You slide the first part into you all the way to where your fingers are holding it. Then while it is in you, you push the second part all the way to the end which puts the cotton inside of you. Then you pull both part of the plastic out and toss it. You can also watch a tutorial on the Tampax website if you think that will help you. Holly
Very helpful I'm 15 and I found that really helpful I wanna use tampons because I always leak with pads but I was wondering where u aim it do I aim the tampon straight up when I put it in or do I aim towards my back when I'm inserting it in
@mmhstalker23 Teandic's response above is correct. An angle upwards but toward your back. You can also see a tutorial on the Tampax website. Try googling it. It goes in easily, so if you are really pushing and getting no where...you are doing it incorrectly. Holly
I got my period for the first time this month (july 5th) at the beach and i was wondering is it okay from me to go to tampons already next month? If so what kind do you reccomened i heard tampaz pearl, and also do all tampon brands come with the size you reccomened and sorry for so many questions but are plastic ones able to be flushed? Thank you so much!
@AllOverEverythingAj Ok to use tampons any time you are having your period. I like most name brand tampons, I just prefer plastic applicators because they go in more smoothly. Yes all tampons come in slender, regular, super, super+. You can't flush plastic applicators. I just wrap it in toilet paper or put it back in the wrapper and put it in the trash. For the beach I would use a size larger since it is hard to find bathrooms. Hope it helps you:) Holly
im 13 and all the tampons i use start to slip out of the comfortable position i started with regulars and then i tried supers and it still slips out what gould i do help
@ggimaena I'm trying to imagine them slipping out. The first thing I would recommend is making sure you are getting them in all of the way. Since they expand and fill with blood, it is hard for me to imagine them slipping out on a young girl. When it is in can you feel it? If you can then it is not in far enough. Holly
@ggimaena This doesn't usually happen. If you are sure that you have it in far enough and it is still happening, then you should tell your mom. It could be that maybe you have weak pelvic muscles and need to try doing Kegel exercises. Or maybe a doctors visit to make sure things are fine. Holly
@ggimaena I'm 12 almost 13 in 9 days (YAY!!) and when i first tried using a tampon I used a cardboard applicator (not smart ) and it pinched a bit but i didn't push it in that far so yea it didn't feel right and with a tampon once its in you shouldn't be able to feel it but hear is a video on how to use them it is amazing
Hi my name is liz my question for the ask mom series is me and my mom don't talk about periods and stuff and i all ways am so scared to ask here for more pads how can i start that conversation my other question is i am going to be playing sports what should i use a tampon or pad
my other question is i use kotex should i use kotex band tampons or should i pick a different brand and how do i tell my mom maybe i want to swicth to a different brand
@MsDegrassichik come check out my channel! For me the first time it was scary, but it does not hurt. Just be sure to relax, because otherwise you will have trouble.
Im going to try tampons for tha first time now, ive had my period for almosst a year, my mom is buying me Tampax Pearl and U by Kotex.. are those good tampons to start with?
@Epiclyfresh Seeing red on the string is a good indicator. No way to know before that really. For sure you should use a panty liner whenever you use a tampon in case you forget to check it sooner. Otherwise change it every 3-4 hours even if you don't see blood. Holly
Ok so if u just like for the first time have started ur period what if u play like alot of sports and u need to wear a tampon will it get stuck if u stopes ur period
@lifelaughlatte I've been wanting to use tampons and tried several times to get them in but I just can't do it. I don't really feel comfortable talking to my mom or friends about it...
@ASHLYDSOUZ22 Always think the first couple of months it is a good use a pad to help you understand your flow...when it is heavy or light. That being said, there isn't any other reason to delay using tampons. Particularly if you have a swim party or something to go to. Ultimately it is up to you. Holly
Should I START with a tampon or pads when I get mine for the first time because it's a light flow when u get it's at first (right? I'm not too sure) so the tampon's cotton part would rub up against the inside and hurt right??? So wouldnt tampons be better later on after a few periods??
@Christkid1998 I think pads are best to start with. After a few months when you have a better sense about the flow of your period then start tampons. But, if it is a matter of swimming or doing an activity that you can't use a pad for...don't hesitate to try a slender regular tampon which will easily hold a very light flow for a couple of hours. It doesn't rub inside and hurt, but if you are kind of dry inside it can be tender (not painful) to pull out. Holly:)
@lifelaughlatte Okay thanks!! Although would I feel the tampon when I ride my horses? Because I have to post trot ((When you sit then stand in the saddle as you trot)
@598tay A girl's body goes through changes during the month that signal when she is most fertile and allows the sperm to travel to the egg easily. Dry, chalky, white discharge is one phase. Sticky or creamy is another phase. Very wet, slippery, resembling uncooked egg whites is the phase in which you are most fertile. As you get older you will have less and less discharge. It is all very normal. And a panty liner can help you manage it better if you feel like it is a lot. Holly
@cookiemonstersawsom So glad the videos are helping you. A dark colored discharge is probably a good sign that your body is gearing up to start. I can't tell you for sure when you will see blood with your period. But you could try charting when the discharge is colored and you might see that it happens about the same time each month. Wear a pantiliner to protect your underwear and to make sure that if you have blood you won't get it on your clothes before you can get to a bathroom. Holly
@britiny12345 I think expressing to her that you would like to use tampons and asking her opinion on them will get the best response. It really depends on why she doesn't...a bad experience, worried about toxic shock, or finds them uncomfortable. If you explain reasonably why you want to use them and demonstrate that you understand the importance of changing them frequently she will probably be ok with it. It is hard to argue with sound, well thought out thinking. Holly
Thank you for these videos, some girls out there don't know anything and are too afraid to ask. I feel inspired by both of you beautiful women! I just might start some videos like this. (:
Im 12 and i think i have pms, because i get extremely emotional when someone does as much as ask me a qustion, i get bloating and cramps, discharge for almost a year, growth spurts, stuff like that. Do you think my period is coming soon???? ( how long does pms last before your period?)
@90Nicke Sounds like you have many of the signs. I think because your hormones change slowly over time until they get to the point that they signal the start of a cycle...you will find mood swings come and go for a year or so until you start a period. Then the mood swings happen a day or so before your period and into the first day of it. This is all an estimation. Every girl is different. My best guess is that within a year you will start. Wish I could be more concrete than that. Holly:)
@suzie4312 It really doesn't hurt. The first time you try it, do it on your heaviest day. Try plastic applicators first because they glide in easily. If you have cardboard applicators try using a little vaseline on the cardboard before inserting it. Also use the smallest size when learning how (slender regulars or lites). Tampons make periods so much easier to handle. Most of your friends by middle school will be using them. If they were painful that wouldn't be the case. Don't worry. Holly:)
My mom has never tried tampons before, but I'm using a tampon at this point. I'm currently using Tampex Pearl Light, though.. there's certain questions I may ask. 1) Do they normally leak at times? Is it based on the absorbed rate or something? I'm not sure. And 2) I felt weird with a tampon inside me. At first, I could feel the tampon but overall, I felt nothing whenever I move, unless I sit down a little, it feels a little weird. Is it suppose to be like that or do I change a new one?
@xkimishLOVESyoux Tampons leak depending on how heavy your cycle is. Until you figure out what absorbancy you need be sure to wear a thin pad or panty liner with the tampon. Could be your flow is too heavy for lights and you bleed through quickly. May need to use regulars. Usually if you can feel the tampon then you haven't inserted it far enough. Try pushing it in a little further next time and it should be better. Holly:)
Hi Kathylovestar - Tampons are not made for adults or teens. It really depends on how heavy your flow is. Practice with slender regulars the first time you try tampons. But they will hold very little blood. Most people need regulars or supers. Any brand works just fine. You could watch one of our recent videos on what products we use.
Ok please help me see this is the thing how do u ask your mom to buy u some Tampons Please help iv never really talked to her about my period and I don't know even how to talk to her about it HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hello am melissa i am 10 and i think when i was in the tolet i bled but i dont know but i have been havving mood swings and i have had a brown stane in my knickers but i dont know if that mean i have started my period my email adress is mellb26@sogmail.com so plese reply i really need to know xxxx pleas repls in comments or whatever xx
I just recently started using tampons and nothing has gone wrong or anything, but i was just wondering if when you take out your tampon its going to be expanded beacuse when i took it out it it was still in the same shape?
Hi Coke&pepsi, The string really has no where to travel. It can't get lost, and it can't travel into the vaginal canal. It just isn't possible. So don't worry. The string is also sewn into the full length of the tampon. It is impossible for it to break. Plus, because you are on your cycle you won't remove it until it is full which means it is slippery because of the fluids and easy to remove.
What happens like when you walk for several hours and the string goes up in your pee pee ( hahaha)?? That what I'm worried about and also, what happens when you are pulling out the tampon and the string brakes?? I just want to know before I use one...... I'm 10 years old by the way..
One time, when we were on a long drive, my little bro was having a terrriblleee nose bleed and we didnt have any tissues, so my mom stuck two tampons up his nose, and at the time, i didnt know what they were, but now that i know what they were, it was HILARIOUS
Lifelaughlatte; my mom says I should practice, but I don't want to. I'm afraid some1 will walk in on me. And I was looking below, and one girl said she doesn't know which "hole". Same here. Can you help? Thanks.:)
Hi Jules, is it possible for you to take part of the stash in the bathroom and reserve it for when you do have your period? Otherwise...write her a note explaining what is happening. Texting or e-mail works too. Hope that helps. Holly:)
Please write back!!! well i have to older sisters and well i started my period and well when i have my period its always at the end of the month there is NO tampons OR pads and i dont know what to do i try to ask her to get me some but i always get choked up even if were alone and every second week my mom travels and is gone for the week and I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO please please HELP
I wish you were my mom :| i mean not to disrespect my mom but she's been a real bitch when it comes to me using tampons, because the first time I asked her..it was my first period ever and then i asked her on the second one and she said on my third period I could try one..then my third one comes she says NO! and I said but you said I could you use it when my third one comes and she said I never said such thing and it just gets me SO MAD >:|ugh..what should I do?
@sunset00004 Hi Sunset...e-mail, notes in her purse, texting, go on a walk with her...all good ways to communicate. To ask her I would just say that you find pads to be uncomfortable sometimes, and you would like her to start a conversation with you about using tampons.
I am only afraid to use one because of toxic shock syndrome. My older sister who is 16 said her friend got it and almost died. So I am really afraid and I go to swimming lessons and I got mine last week! So I am pretty new to this stuff. :(
Hi everyone! Gymnast - write your mom a note saying you would like to try tampons and put it in her purse. Baykins - Go in the bathroom, take a mirror and look at yourself. It will be clear to you then where a tampon will fit. 515NeNe - I'd write a note for your principal and ask the secretary to put it in his/her box asking for a trash can in girls bathrooms for that reason. No need to sign it. Someone mentioned being a virgin. There is no problem using tampons if you are. Holly:)
@lifelaughlatte: Write a note and leave it in her purse? Why do you give such pathetic advice? The girl needs to simply TELL her mom, face to face. It's not hard. This is so immature.
hi i want to start using tampons but dont know how to ask my mum cuz she buys them for me without chance to ask before the next month arrives what can i do?
Thank you so much! It is so good to get advice from people who have experiences and that really helps. I am going to be honest I don't know what hole to put it in cause I don't even know what hole I pee from. It may sound dumb but I just don't know. Lol anyway thank you!
@sydneymurray1 It hurt putting it in because you maybe didn't have it in far enough. It hurt taking it out because it was dry. It happens. You'll get used to it. Try going down a size.
at my school we dont have garbage cans in the stall bathrooms so we hav to take our "used product" and throw it out infront of evry1 and evry1 noes and sees so when ppl say no one has to noe but u is COMPLETE BS!
You can flush all tampons down the toilet, but if you are somewhere that has a septic system and plumbling isn't hooked up to city lines, you need to throw it in the trash. Constant flushing of tampons in septic systems causes flooding.
Ummm quick question... How far are you suppose to put the tampon in? @-.-@ I've tried but it was uncomfortable. Is. The blue part of the string suppose o be out or in?

I have a question sept.5 I think i got my first period and felt nothing related to PMS except that i was moody my period lasted for 4 days so it ended sept. 9 during the day my flow was light offcourse but at night it would pause and when I woke up in the morning the pad was clean and it pause every single night of the 4 days of my period is this spottin or the real deal and it has been 29 days since sept. 9 and i have not had my second period . Please help im confused if i have started yet
MyMakeupStash1 4 months ago
@MyMakeupStash1 I think this all sounds perfectly normal. Some girls experience heavy flow at night, some nothing at all. Different for everyone. I think you had a real period, but it can often take a year for things to normalize. So, don't be surprised if it skips a month and then comes back. Or, if next time is heavy instead of light. Your body is figuring it out. Holly:)

ArtLuver101 4 months ago
@ArtLuver101 3-5 hours depending on your flow. If you go to the restroom and you see any blood on the string you should definately change it. Wear a panty liner too...particularly as you are getting used to figuring out when to change it. Holly

Hi holly! I havent had my period yet, but I want to know if I am physically ready for a tampon. I just put my finger up there to see and my pointer finger could fit 0 \\\ 0. Am I physicallu ready for a tampon?
ArtLuver101 4 months ago
@ArtLuver101 Only use one when you start your period because it will be uncomfortable to remove if there isn't any blood flow. As soon as you start you can use tampons. Start with slender regular first to get used to it. Holly

so the plastic applicator goes inside you a bit?
Twilight19922008 6 months ago
@Twilight19922008 Yes. The tampon has two plastic parts that fit together. You slide the first part into you all the way to where your fingers are holding it. Then while it is in you, you push the second part all the way to the end which puts the cotton inside of you. Then you pull both part of the plastic out and toss it. You can also watch a tutorial on the Tampax website if you think that will help you. Holly

@mmhstalker23 Teandic's response above is correct. An angle upwards but toward your back. You can also see a tutorial on the Tampax website. Try googling it. It goes in easily, so if you are really pushing and getting no where...you are doing it incorrectly. Holly

If so what kind do you reccomened i heard tampaz pearl, and also do all tampon brands come with the size you reccomened and sorry for so many questions but are plastic ones able to be flushed? Thank you so much!

@AllOverEverythingAj Ok to use tampons any time you are having your period. I like most name brand tampons, I just prefer plastic applicators because they go in more smoothly. Yes all tampons come in slender, regular, super, super+. You can't flush plastic applicators. I just wrap it in toilet paper or put it back in the wrapper and put it in the trash. For the beach I would use a size larger since it is hard to find bathrooms. Hope it helps you:) Holly

ggimaena 8 months ago
@ggimaena I'm trying to imagine them slipping out. The first thing I would recommend is making sure you are getting them in all of the way. Since they expand and fill with blood, it is hard for me to imagine them slipping out on a young girl. When it is in can you feel it? If you can then it is not in far enough. Holly
lifelaughlatte 8 months ago
@ggimaena This doesn't usually happen. If you are sure that you have it in far enough and it is still happening, then you should tell your mom. It could be that maybe you have weak pelvic muscles and need to try doing Kegel exercises. Or maybe a doctors visit to make sure things are fine. Holly

@Epiclyfresh Seeing red on the string is a good indicator. No way to know before that really. For sure you should use a panty liner whenever you use a tampon in case you forget to check it sooner. Otherwise change it every 3-4 hours even if you don't see blood. Holly

SHOULD I USE TAMPONS OR PADS FIRST?
ASHLYDSOUZ22 9 months ago
@ASHLYDSOUZ22 Always think the first couple of months it is a good use a pad to help you understand your flow...when it is heavy or light. That being said, there isn't any other reason to delay using tampons. Particularly if you have a swim party or something to go to. Ultimately it is up to you. Holly
lifelaughlatte 9 months ago
Should I START with a tampon or pads when I get mine for the first time because it's a light flow when u get it's at first (right? I'm not too sure) so the tampon's cotton part would rub up against the inside and hurt right??? So wouldnt tampons be better later on after a few periods??
Christkid1998 9 months ago
@Christkid1998 I think pads are best to start with. After a few months when you have a better sense about the flow of your period then start tampons. But, if it is a matter of swimming or doing an activity that you can't use a pad for...don't hesitate to try a slender regular tampon which will easily hold a very light flow for a couple of hours. It doesn't rub inside and hurt, but if you are kind of dry inside it can be tender (not painful) to pull out. Holly:)

598tay 9 months ago
@598tay A girl's body goes through changes during the month that signal when she is most fertile and allows the sperm to travel to the egg easily. Dry, chalky, white discharge is one phase. Sticky or creamy is another phase. Very wet, slippery, resembling uncooked egg whites is the phase in which you are most fertile. As you get older you will have less and less discharge. It is all very normal. And a panty liner can help you manage it better if you feel like it is a lot. Holly

alltimelow0987 10 months ago
@cookiemonstersawsom So glad the videos are helping you. A dark colored discharge is probably a good sign that your body is gearing up to start. I can't tell you for sure when you will see blood with your period. But you could try charting when the discharge is colored and you might see that it happens about the same time each month. Wear a pantiliner to protect your underwear and to make sure that if you have blood you won't get it on your clothes before you can get to a bathroom. Holly

britiny12345 10 months ago
@britiny12345 I think expressing to her that you would like to use tampons and asking her opinion on them will get the best response. It really depends on why she doesn't...a bad experience, worried about toxic shock, or finds them uncomfortable. If you explain reasonably why you want to use them and demonstrate that you understand the importance of changing them frequently she will probably be ok with it. It is hard to argue with sound, well thought out thinking. Holly

90Nicke 10 months ago
@90Nicke Sounds like you have many of the signs. I think because your hormones change slowly over time until they get to the point that they signal the start of a cycle...you will find mood swings come and go for a year or so until you start a period. Then the mood swings happen a day or so before your period and into the first day of it. This is all an estimation. Every girl is different. My best guess is that within a year you will start. Wish I could be more concrete than that. Holly:)

suzie4312 10 months ago
@suzie4312 It really doesn't hurt. The first time you try it, do it on your heaviest day. Try plastic applicators first because they glide in easily. If you have cardboard applicators try using a little vaseline on the cardboard before inserting it. Also use the smallest size when learning how (slender regulars or lites). Tampons make periods so much easier to handle. Most of your friends by middle school will be using them. If they were painful that wouldn't be the case. Don't worry. Holly:)

My mom has never tried tampons before, but I'm using a tampon at this point. I'm currently using Tampex Pearl Light, though.. there's certain questions I may ask. 1) Do they normally leak at times? Is it based on the absorbed rate or something? I'm not sure. And 2) I felt weird with a tampon inside me. At first, I could feel the tampon but overall, I felt nothing whenever I move, unless I sit down a little, it feels a little weird. Is it suppose to be like that or do I change a new one?
xkimishLOVESyoux 11 months ago
@xkimishLOVESyoux Tampons leak depending on how heavy your cycle is. Until you figure out what absorbancy you need be sure to wear a thin pad or panty liner with the tampon. Could be your flow is too heavy for lights and you bleed through quickly. May need to use regulars. Usually if you can feel the tampon then you haven't inserted it far enough. Try pushing it in a little further next time and it should be better. Holly:)

Hi Kathylovestar - Tampons are not made for adults or teens. It really depends on how heavy your flow is. Practice with slender regulars the first time you try tampons. But they will hold very little blood. Most people need regulars or supers. Any brand works just fine. You could watch one of our recent videos on what products we use.

Hi Coke&pepsi, The string really has no where to travel. It can't get lost, and it can't travel into the vaginal canal. It just isn't possible. So don't worry. The string is also sewn into the full length of the tampon. It is impossible for it to break. Plus, because you are on your cycle you won't remove it until it is full which means it is slippery because of the fluids and easy to remove.

Hi everyone! Gymnast - write your mom a note saying you would like to try tampons and put it in her purse. Baykins - Go in the bathroom, take a mirror and look at yourself. It will be clear to you then where a tampon will fit. 515NeNe - I'd write a note for your principal and ask the secretary to put it in his/her box asking for a trash can in girls bathrooms for that reason. No need to sign it. Someone mentioned being a virgin. There is no problem using tampons if you are. Holly:)

You can flush all tampons down the toilet, but if you are somewhere that has a septic system and plumbling isn't hooked up to city lines, you need to throw it in the trash. Constant flushing of tampons in septic systems causes flooding.
