Tampons - some questions!
Hey
I'm going on holiday tomorrow and I just used a tampon for the first time. I have a couple of questions...
1. How do you know its in properly? I know it says if it hurts then it isn't in right. It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable, but I think I know its there, I think I can feel something (or it may just be psychological?!).. is that normal for the first time? is there any other way of telling if its in properly?
2. Do you have to change it immediately after getting out a pool? - I can't remember if i've read that somewhere or not?!
3. How do I know when to change it? Like is there any sign which tells you its full?! I know you have to take it out after 8 hours tho.
Thanks x x x x

1. first time i wore one properly, i thought i could feel it..
2. Nah, your string will be wet, but the water shouldnt be able to reach the tampon.
3. The string becomes blood stained or you just take it out after 4 or 6 hours. Depends what your brand suggests for a suggested time.
You shouldn't be able to feel it - thats how you know it is in properly.
I usually take it out when i go to the toilet and always when i get out of a swimming pool. But different people do different things. Just go with what is comfortable for you.
I've been using Tampons for 5 years and have never had any trouble with them....just remember to take it out and not leave it it...

You don't feel it, but my first time, i thought i could, but its just because you're not used to it.
It depends, after swimming, you may want to, but it's not necessary. If i go swimming, i put a clean one in before and then when I'm done. The string might be wet obviously, but the tampon itself wont be, hence why you're able to go swimming in the first place.
My periods are light, so I change mine every 6 hrs or so, just to be clean and fresh so to speak. On some brands, they say when the string becomes blood tinged, but obviously depending on how heavy your periods are, and the type of tampon you use, the timing of this depends. I'd change it every 5-6 hours, that way you're on the safe side I'd say.
After a while it becomes second nature and you don't notice it at all.
Hope that helps. Have a great holiday xxx

Make sure its in the right hole....
Awww thanks guys! Hehe I'm soo excited I did it! I want to go tell someone but the only person in is my older brother, I don't think he will be too impressed! I can't believe I'm 18 and I've never used a tampon before.. they are amazing and so easy.
Do you wear them at night? I don't think I will, cos I normally sleep for longer than 8 hours and they say you shouldn't keep it in for longer than 8 hours?
Thanks x x x

I do, I just change it before I go to bed and then when I get up. I've left one in for over 10 hours before accidently (getting drunk and forgetting). I've never had problems but that doesn't mean you won't!
It depends. Sometimes, if I'm staying over at someone elses house, or its hot weather (eww sorry) then I keep one in over night, but I put it in last thing before bed and change it literally as soon as I get up. I think the risk of TSS after just a little over the 8 hrs is small, so you'll be fine. Just make sure its the last thing you do when you go to bed and do it as soon as you get up. I occasionally wear sanitary towels, just to give myself a little break so to speak, but tampons are definitely much easier and less messy. I used towels for 2 and a bit years until my period threatened to disrupt my holiday, so i tried tampons and didn't look back! well done you for trying, and succeeding with them it sounds like. xxx
If it becomes loose when you to wee, its not in properly, right?! Is it supposed to feel strange when you go to the toilet?! It didn't fall out, but it felt strange, so I took it out and put another one in?!
Thanks so much! x x x
Thanks so much! x x x
loopymeg
Well I would suggest that you change it every time you go to the loo
Hmmm, ok, thanx. I go to the loo quite often cos I drink looooads. I better go to tescos and buy another box to take with me! Thanx x x
Dedicate a whole suitcase to them tbh.
This is a good thread! as i have questions too...(sorry to hijack!)
Im 19 (periods since 10!) and ive never used a tampon. I got one in halfway once and it felt extremely uncomfortable so i decided to pull it out and it REALLY hurt (i think thats what put me off them) Im also REALLY wary of getting TSS...i dont know the risk of it though.
can anyone shed some light on this?
