I did it😁

this is gonna sound sooo lame but I am a 24 year old woman and I am PROUD to say that I FINALLY put a tampon in🙌🏻

I’ve been trying for the past like year, every so often I would try and it’s like I was just hitting a wall every time I’d try to stick it up there.

I recently also tried to lose my virginity but it hurt so bad every time I tried. Again it felt like my boyfriend’s dick was hitting a wall. He could only ever get one finger up there. I convinced myself that I have vaginismus (never got diagnosed but it’s still possible that I do have it). I felt so dejected. I felt so disappointed. I thought I’d never be normal..I’d never wear a tampon, is never have sex..

a few months ago I tried a tampon again. I was in the bathroom for an HOUR. I tried different positions, over and over again (i even jerked off a little bit to try and relax and make it easier🤫). I was about to give up. Then I tried one last time. Just before I was about to throw the tampon away, I just stood upright and BOOM it slipped right in with no issue.

Fast forward to yesterday. I thought I’d try again for the first time in those few months. It wasn’t working again. It didn’t hurt, it just wasn’t going in. And same thing happened, just as I was about to give up, I stood upright and thought I’d try one more time. And there it was, it slipped right in with no pain and no problem!

Today was the quickest I was ever able to get it in! It only took me one try. Easy breezy. I feel a little bit better now about trying to have sex again:)

There is hope out there. I’m proud of myself for persevering and finally putting in a tampon for the first time in my 24 years of life 😭😄
