How to insert a tampon properly

Here’s how to do it so that you can’t feel your tampon. Hold the grip marks on the tampon applicator with your thumb and middle finger. Open your legs so that they’re at least shoulder-width apart. Make sure to push the tampon in until the entire thicker outer tube of the applicator (the part with the tampon in it) is completely inside your vagina and you can’t see it. A good way of achieving this is to angle the applicator slightly towards your back and slide it into your vagina until your fingers holding the grip marks on the applicator come into contact with your skin. Only then should you push the plunger in to release the tampon from the applicator. Sometimes it takes a little bit of practice to get it right and achieve that I-don’t-even-know-it’s-there tampon feeling.

Once you get the hang of it, tampons are really comfortable. A lot of girls prefer them to pads because they can do and wear whatever they want while on their period. Whether you choose tampons or pads is entirely up to you.

How to put a tampon in for the first time

We’ve pulled together several tips to help you use a tampon effortlessly:

• Practise inserting a tampon when your period flow is medium to heavy.
• Find a position that is comfortable for you. Some people find it easier to crouch down with their knees apart, or to stand with one foot on the toilet seat or edge of the bath. Try different positions to find one that works for you.
• Wash your hands before unwrapping the tampon, even if you’re using an applicator tampon.
• Stretch the cord of the tampon before you insert it.
• Tilt the tampon slightly backwards and not straight up when you insert it. This way the tampon will follow the natural slope of your vagina.
• Remove the tampon if you can feel it straight after insertion. You’ll need to insert another one – try to push it a little further in.
• Wrap the used applicator in a tissue and throw it in the bin. Dispose of used tampons in the same way.
