Why do tampons hurt me?!

Question

I am a very regular pad user and I'm fine with it and everything but when I need to exercise I want to use a tampon because the pad is uncomfortable.

I tried a tampon and it went in fine. It didn't hurt and it was comfortable so why did it hurt so much when I took it out? 😓

Answer

The tampon probably wasn't used for a good amount of time. Usually it doesn't hurt very much if you let it soak up the blood for a while. when there is little to no blood, it's just dragging dry cotten through your downstairs area, and that can hurt a lot.

Answer

Cuz your pulling it out I only wear tampons when I go swimming but I prefer pads cuz they hurt less and they can last more then 8 hours and u can sleep with a pad on but u can't sleep with tampons in

Answer

There is always the chance that you might be sensitive to certain brands of tampons. It's highly recommended to use 100% cotton tampons. Many of the conventional brands like Tampax and Kotex douse their tampons with chemicals. A good brand to use is Natura.
