hey hunny,

i segest the slinder tampons sence your not use to using them and like smiles said a little dab of vasiline at the end of the tampon should help it slide in alot easier. also dont keep trying your vigina will get irritated so try at the most twice then stop and try again after a while.

good luck!

Tisha-1 agony auntIt took me many tries when I first tried to use them too, so don't get too worried about it.

I could not figure out how to insert them when I was standing up. I finally had to lie down on my side, and use one of the tampons that use your finger as the inserter, not the ones with the plastic or cardboard tubes. The instructions generally tell you to insert it while you're standing up in a slightly seated posture, or with one leg up. That did not work for me the first few times.

Stay relaxed, as instructed (easier said than done, isn't it?). Nestle the tip of your finger into the end of the tampon, use a very small one designed for a light period. Then gently and slowly push it in, aiming from the opening of your vagina to the small of your back, right above your buttocks. Make sure your hands are clean and you do not have ragged fingernails.

Just relax, try again later if it doesn't work after a couple of tries. You'll get the hang of it.

Rather than trying to push it straight up try pushing it back and up.

If you are not use to using tampons it might be a little difficult in the begining.

I suggest you use a little vaseline on the tip of the tampon, that might make it easier to insert the tampon.

Good luck.

bammy agony auntdon't worry, you'll get it, everything in this life takes practise & you know what they say, Practise makes perfect so yes love, try it again.. here's a little tip..try putting one leg up on a toilet seat, this will give u space to insert it & you'll be able to see at the same time,make sure the string is hanging from the bottom end so its easy to take back out again & don't be afraid of pushin it in too far.. best of luck hope it works out let me know how you get on x x Bammy
