Sooner or later, every girl has a question about how to properly insert a tampon. And not everyone has someone to consult on this topic. There are many questions that the girl is not able to answer herself. When a girl first gets her period, she has a choice: either pads or tampons. With tampons, of course, it's a little more difficult, especially when it's the first time. It seems to be not such a complicated process of inserting a tampon, but there are many questions that I would like to get at least some information on.
First of all, an inexperienced girl has no idea how deep to insert a tampon, and indeed how to insert it correctly. What if something goes wrong, he will either fall in there - and you won’t pull him out, or the hymen will suddenly be damaged. These reasons sometimes stop young girls from using this remedy.
So what is the correct way to insert a tampon?
First you need to buy tampons, fortunately, the choice is now very large. You can buy tampons that have or don't have an applicator. With the applicator, inserting a tampon is much more convenient.
Tampons may have differentabsorbency. May be less absorbent or super absorbent. This choice is made depending on how abundant the discharge is.
After the desired tampons are selected, you need to learn how to insert them.
You need to squat or toilet, spread your legs, take a tampon (taken with your thumb and middle finger) with the rounded side towards the vagina.
How to properly insert a tampon with an applicator?
If the tampon has an applicator, then its front half is inserted into the vagina. Then with your index finger you should press on top of it - this is somewhat reminiscent of the syringe mechanism. The tampon is inserted and the applicator is removed, the thread is outside.
And how to insert a tampon without an applicator?
Such tampons are inserted with the rounded end into the vagina, and then pushed inside with a finger until it stops. In this case, the girl should feel resistance. This serves as a signal that the tampon rested on the cervix. So the whole process was done right.
If you feel discomfort after inserting a tampon, then the tampon is not inserted at the correct depth. It should be above the pubic bone.
Inexperienced girls will find tampons with applicators big and scary. But in reality this is not the case, because most of these funds are the applicators themselves.
Many girls worry that the tampon will get lost or stuck inside. But these are just fears. Each tampon is equipped with a thread, withwith which it is easily removed, but in extreme cases it can be reached with your fingers.
The tampon should be in the vagina for no more than 4-6 hours, then it must be removed. If resistance is felt during this, then you need to choose tampons that have less absorbency. After the tampon is removed, a new one must be inserted, but hygiene must be observed.
Now you know how to properly insert a tampon. There is nothing dangerous here. The main thing is to choose exactly what fits.
