Product Information

If you’re struggling to insert a tampon, ask someone you trust, like your mom or sister, who has used tampons to help you.

It’s always a good idea to wash your hands with soap and water before and after you insert a tampon. Step 2: Get out your tampon Tampons can certainly stretch the hymen, but this isn’t always the case. Not all people are born with intact hymens, so plenty never “break” or “pop” at all. That said, it shouldn’t deter you from using a tampon if you’ve never engaged in penetrative sexual activity. Try starting out with lighter absorbency tampons, and work your way up from there. You experience pelvic pain If your tampon is uncomfortable and makes you feel like you need to waddle, it’s probably because it isn’t far enough inside your vagina. If that happens, just use your finger to push the tampon further up, which usually fixes it. If you’re still having trouble

How to remove your tampon

These tampons aren't anything new or unique; most brands have offered the compact format for years.

Many doctors recommend light absorbency tampons for your first menstruation. Others recommend starting with pads first, then moving to tampons once you’re comfortable. Now you’re ready. Slowly insert the tampon applicator from the tip, all the way to the grip. When you’ve inserted it far enough, your fingers on the grip will probably be touching your vulva (the external opening of your vagina). Step 8: Plunge Find a comfortable position that lets you relax and still reach your vagina. Most people sit on the toilet or stand while slightly squatting to insert a tampon, but you can also try lying down or propping one foot up on a step or another raised surface (e.g., the edge of the bath). The most important thing is to take a deep breath and relax all your muscles – if you squeeze your bum or tense the muscles around the vagina, it won’t be as easy to insert the tampon. Step 5: Set the tip If you’re ready to ditch pads, you might want to start out small at first. Try a lower absorbency tampon for your first time. Then, once you have a better gauge on your flow and insertion, you can move around to a higher absorbency. You’ve never engaged in penetrative vaginal sexual activityOnce you’ve inserted tip to grip, it’s time to use your index finger or your other hand to push the plunger all the way into the applicator and release the tampon. Step 9: Remove the applicator If you have trouble inserting a tampon or if you have persistent pain related to insertion, you should always get medical attention from a doctor you trust. Don’t suffer in silence or be inconvenienced because it feels embarrassing. We promise you it’s not! Gynaecologists deal with these issues more often than you would think. How to remove your tampon Make sure to change your tampon every four to eight hours, depending on your flow and comfort. Do not leave a tampon in for longer than eight hours. You can wear a tampon overnight, but insert right before going to sleep and remove it as soon as you wake up.
