VAGINAL FILM TIP!

Ok so I'm on birth control but me and my boyfriend usually still use a condom but for the first time we didn't but I still wanted to use a vaginal film for a little back up. So I went through 5 films and I could not get this thing to work. The instructions say to put it on the tip of your finger shove it up as far as you can and take your finger out. Well my wetness made that impossible and the film would start disolvinv and stick to my finger so when I would try to take my finger out the film would just come out with it! So finally I got the idea to use a tampon! Lol! I just put the film on the tip of the applicator and stuck it up there, pushed the tampon in then I just took the tampon out and BOOM it was finally up there! I felt around with my fingers to make sure it got up there ok. I just thought this may be helpful to any other gals who may have had issues with them! :)
