i'm 15, and i just started my period today. for months, i have been searching how to insert a tampon as my period flow is heavy and i usually have to change my pad like 4/5 times a day - and being at school while being on my period can be quite hard.
during my last period, i tried to insert a tampon (with a card board applicator) however it just wouldn't go in! TMI but i was sitting on the toilet while trying to insert and only the tip was covered in blood.
this may seem so weird but it felt as if the walls of my vag were too close together? yes i am scared of inserting a tampon. extremely frightened.
i have looked all over youtube for videos but nothing has really helped me.
i want to try and put a tampon in today or tomorrow.
how should i do this? using a mirror?
it literally feels as if the tip won't go in at all?
also i am scared of TSS
