First-time tampon use. should i use vaseline to help get it in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Vaseline is not water soluble and can trap bacteria. Don't use it internally. You can buy a vaginal lubricant over the counter. Look at the diagram on the package insert. Many young women think the vagina goes straight up but really when seated on a commode, point back just above your tailbone. It takes practice. Don't get frustrated.
