Question 9

how can you properly use a tampon?

Accepted Answer

Bring up knees: Most important is either bending over or laying on your back to insert a tampon. Most come with an applicator that makes placing it in the vagina easier so that the absorbent part of the tampon doesn't scrape against vagina tissue and make it irritated.  Most tampons have diagrams in each package.  I bet there's even a youtube video, though i haven't checked.  Good luck!

Question 10

should it hurt to put a tampon in?

Accepted Answer

No. : It’s a good idea to use the smallest size tampon when you are learning how for the first time. It is also easier to insert it when your period  is moderate to heavy as this allows the tampon to glide in more easily. 
If the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted it incorrectly or not in enough. Never force it in!
