Would you like to use a tampon but are afraid of pain? Or maybe you just don't know how to put one in and the directions on the box aren't helpful. What ever it is I'm sure this article will help you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Tampon (multiple if it is your first time)
  • Privacy
  • Toilet
  • Yourself
  • Clean hands

Step1
Firstly find a bathroom and get out your tampon and sit on the toilet. Some people find it easier to insert a tampon if their legs are also bent and the toilet seat. Another way to do it is don't sit on the toilet and put one leg up on the seat. (Also i suggest using tampons with a plastic applicator)
Step2
Now that you are ready to put in your tampon open the wrapper and pull out the tampon. Try not to touch it to much causing germs from your hands to get on it. Now look at your tampon; there is a string at the bottom, then a small tube that you can push into the larger tube above it.
Step3
Okay so now that the tampon is out and you are ready to go with the hand opposite of the one you write with make a peace sign with your index and middle fingers. Separate the inner lips with these fingers.
Step4
With your other hand kind of poke around with your pointer finger and try to find the correct hole. It is the one after where your urine comes from but is before the buttocks. Once you know you have the correct hole get the tampon in your hand that is not separating.
Step5
Now you must be relaxed for the next step. So take deep breaths and try singing in your head if you are nervous. It will not hurt at all but it is easier to get in if your muscles are relaxed.
Step6
Now hold the end of the largest part of the tampon with you index finger and thumb. Now find the hole that you found in step four again. Once you have found it push in the plastic top of the tampon until your index finger and thumb are touching your va****.
Step7
Now using your middle finger press in the small plastic part that is still outside of you until it is completely inside of the other plastic part.
Step8
Using your index finger in thumb remove the plastic applicator and dispose. And you are finished!

Tips & Warnings

  • RELAX!!! it wont hurt at all
  • Plastic applicators are the easiest to use
  • Wash your hands before and after
  • DO NOT LEAVE TAMPON IN FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS!!!
