Why are tampons so uncomfortable now?

Tampons are super absorbent, but if there isn’t enough fluid to absorb, this can leave your vagina feeling dry, which can be a little painful. Try going down an absorbency level. If inserting or removing your tampon still hurts, keep in mind that your flow varies as you move through your period.

What to put on a tampon to make it go in easier?

Grasp the applicator correctly. Hold the tampon with your thumb and middle finger at its base (on the side with the string). You might find it useful to put a bit of water-based lubricant on the tip of the tampon; this will help it slide into your vagina more easily.

How do I relax while wearing a tampon?

How to relax when inserting a tampon

1. Lie down on your bed.
2. Have a bath first.
3. Meditate or do breathing exercises for a few minutes before you try to insert your tampon.
4. Experiment with different positions until you find what feels most comfortable.

Should putting in a tampon hurt?

Putting a tampon in your vagina shouldn’t be painful, but it may hurt if you’re not relaxed. You might find it’s easier for your muscles to relax if you insert a tampon while lying down. You can also try using slender or “light” tampons.

Is it bad if I can feel my tampon?

If it’s inserted correctly, you shouldn’t feel anything. But if you don’t insert the tampon far enough, it might feel uncomfortable. To make it more comfortable, use a clean finger to push the tampon farther up the vaginal canal.

What is the best position to put a tampon in?

Being comfortable and having easy access to your vagina are the two key things to remember when finding the best position to put your tampon in. We recommend either sitting on the toilet with your knees spread wide, or standing, with one leg raised to have your foot on a ledge – the toilet seat is usually a good call.

Are tampons supposed to hurt the first time?

A tampon may hurt the first time you try to insert it, but it shouldn’t be bad. You shouldn’t feel it once it’s in, so if there still is pain or discomfort, you may not have inserted it correctly. A good rule of thumb: If your tampon feels at all uncomfortable, take it out!
