How to insert a tampon?

Tampons are an excellent alternative to standard sanitary napkins, which, despite their minimal thickness, still give some inconvenience. Modern women live at such a dynamic pace that it is sometimes not possible to change their own plans because of critical days. Tampons that provide comfort and dryness during menstruation, will be useful when swimming in the pool or the sea, while playing sports.

Despite the popularity of these hygienic women's products, many girls who have not used them yet do not know how to properly insert a tampon so that there are no painful sensations.

How to enter a tampon correctly?

The description of this process is detailed in the instructions enclosed in each package of hygiene tampons. But not always the instruction is at hand, because in the pharmacy practice these products can be sold individually. In addition, you can borrow a tampon if you were not ready for a piquant situation.

Before you insert a tampon (with or without applicator, it does not matter), you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Then remove the tampon from the package without removing the individual wrapper. If you are tense, then the sensations at the introduction can be painful, so you need to relax as much as possible. Sit or stand up so that you can reach the vagina easily. The legs slightly spread apart, bending at the knees. Now you can release the tampon from the individual package. Try not to touch his surface with your hands. Ordinary tampons are packed in polyethylene film, and those that are with the applicator are wrapped in paper. Insert a tampon, pushing the entrance to the vagina with a free hand. Correctly inserted tampon should not be felt and deliver discomfort. Do not forget to leave a thin cord outside, which will be needed to remove the used tampon.

Now you know how to insert a tampon the first time, so the next time there will be no difficulties. They should be changed as necessary, but not less than six hours later.

How deeply should I insert a tampon?

This is another rather common question that worries, above all, virgins. It is worth noting that the hymen is very elastic, so the procedure for inserting a tampon to a virgin does not differ from the usual one. The only nuance: for the first time it is better to use the smallest tampons with the minimum absorbency. Tampons injected to a depth of about 10 centimeters, and deeper will not allow either the length of the finger or the applicator.

With the applicator or without?

There are no special differences in tampons with or without an applicator. The hygienic product itself is similar, only the procedure how to insert a tampon with an applicator is slightly different. After washing your hands and taking a comfortable pose, push the applicator apart, taking it by the middle (at the junction of the two cardboard parts). Place it in the side of the vagina and enter until the middle. Then push the tampon into the vagina by pressing on the outside of the applicator. If everything is done correctly, then you will not feel it. For discomfort, repeat the procedure with a new swab.

Do not know how to insert a tampon without an applicator? Take the swab in your hand by inserting the index finger into its base (hold it with your middle finger and thumb) and insert it into the depth of your finger. Then wash your hands.

It is important to know

Remember that at night you can not leave a tampon in the vagina, even if its absorbency is high! For this purpose, it is better to use conventional gaskets. If the temperature rises, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle pain, weakness, dizziness, inflammation of the eyes or rash, immediately remove the swab and consult a doctor to avoid the toxic shock syndrome!
