I just don't like the idea of putting stuff up there, and since it hurt when I tried, It just made it seem even more scary. Even after I tried, it feels kind of sore and uncomfortable....back to pads...what's going on???  |
It probably feels "dry"....
Also if it's not far up enough, it will be sitting at the opening of your vagina....if you put your fingers at the opening, and you can feel the end of the tampon, it's too low.....
I don't know what kind you use, but the plastic applicators glide in easier. So hold the end of the larger part between your thumb and middle fingers and push it in far enough so that your fingers are just past your labia....like smoosh.... (put one foot on the toilet), then use your pointer finger to depress the thinner part of the applicator all of the way.
If it doesn't go in, your hymen may be on the thicker side and it may take a fairly decent push if you want it to break....
But if you don't like the "idea of putting stuff up there", then use pads...
