I haven’t gotten the hang of tampons?

Question

It’s been six days since I’ve been using them and nearly every time it’s uncomfortable. I’ve tried different approaches, however every time I can still feel it. Are there any tips to make it easier? I’ve tried sticking them in further and even the different placement positions. Could it be the brand I’m using? They’ve all been regular size ones.

Answer

Try a different size, brand..maybe try the organic ones. I personally feel the cotton is softer with some of the organic brands. Also a plastic applicator. I’ve tried cardboard a couple times out of desperation from the bathroom vending machines and they are awful

Answer

Try a different brand. The playtex ones are uncomfortable to me. Try putting it in standing up with one leg elevated on the toilet to get the proper angle. Once you get it it won’t be so difficult it’s figuring out what brand works the best and how to properly insert it. I personally like the U by Kotex compact ones. The applicators are small and plastic and not difficult to insert.

Answer

Too big

Answer

Make sure to start out with the small ones/regular. I personally recommend plastic applicator. Then when you put it in I would stand up and then just squat bending at the knees. When you sit down it can go in crooked which is probably why you feel it.

Answer

It could be the brand. What kind are you using? I personally hate Tampax. I like OB and those kotec compact ones.
