A member asked:
Can you give me some suggestions on using a tampon for beginner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Using tampons: When you first start using tampons you may find it easier to insert a “slim” tampon with a smooth plastic applicator that has a rounded tip. Recommend that you avoid super tampons with cardboard applicators when you first start. There are may u tube videos that provide instruction on proper tampon insertion. Change tampons roughly every 4 to 6 hours. Mom's are a great source of info.
