Steps for how to insert a tampon

Step 1: Wash your hands

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

Unwrap your tampon and make sure you know how it works. If you’ve never really looked at a tampon, it can look intimidating, but the tampon itself is actually inside the applicator. Tampons with applicators make it easy to insert the tampon into your vagina. Some tampon applicators are plastic, and some are cardboard, but both types of applicator tampons can be used safely. The applicator has a larger, outer tube that holds the tampon, a ‘grip’ area where you hold it, and a smaller tube at the end where the string comes out. The smaller tube is actually a plunger that you use to push the tampon out into your vagina after you’ve inserted the applicator.

Step 3: Locate your vagina

We know you know where it is, but so many people have never really looked closely enough to know its exact position. Grab a mirror and take a look to make sure you’re familiar with your vaginal opening and where the tampon will go.

Step 4: Get comfortable and ready to put the tampon in

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

Hold the tampon at the grip (the smaller part just above the plunger) and place the tip of the tampon applicator at your vaginal opening.

Step 6: Use the right angle

Once the tip is in place, aim the tampon towards your lower back, not straight up. Your vagina doesn’t go straight up into your body – it actually sits at a slight angle. Finding the angle that’s right for you can help make it feel more comfortable to insert.

Step 7: Tip to grip

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

Once 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

After you’ve pushed the plunger in all the way, pull the applicator (both plastic pieces) out. The string will be the only thing left hanging out of your vagina.
