i just started using tampons because my friends say that it is a lot more sanitary than pads and more comfortable. so last month wen i had my period i used tampons and it was fine ...

but after my period was over and the tampons were gone, my vagina area was red and sore. it hurt too. after a week it went away...but i was just wondering if this occurred because it was my first time using tampons, or something else?

please tell me what u think, and if u've experienced the same thing...because i want to discontinue my use of tampons if this symptom is not normal

naw, thats never happened to me or when i first used them, but then again, i dont even remember when i first started and if my stuff was red, i probably wouldnt even notice....maybe i SHOULD pay more attention....

it was red and sore? my insides get sore, but not red. but i get it all the time even if i decide to not use my tampons for that week.

yea im pretty sure its because that was your first time using tampons since ur ahem wasnt used to them before.

I THINK YOO SHOOD GO ASK A DOCTOR OR SUMTHIN.... BUT THEN, I WOUDNL'T KNOW, CUZ I'VE NEVER USED THEM...

well, i've never used them, so I wouldn't know..ask your mom, perhaps?

maybe it just got irritated i get that when i am a lil "dry"

O_O i dont use tampons but i have tampons at my house.
i read the thing and it says 'it may cause blah blah somethinghere if you continuesly use pads and tampons' or something similar to that.
have you heard of that desiese? it can kill? o.o i use pads.
so i think you should stick to that, though.

I don't use tampons, but I would seriously think that u should ask ur mom y that happen. maybe it happens 2 sum ppl?

thank the lord im not a girl,i couldnt use tampons i woulkd use pads for life and i would never shave.

tampons work fine with me & thats never happened. bleh this kinda freaks me out. maybe your using a rather larger sized tampon than your supposed to be using & its causing an abrasion in that area or somthin? idk?

yup yup..i agree with that. Go talk to your doctor. Ive been using them since after the second month i ever started, and ive never had a problem. Try it again and if it happens, i wouldnt sue ti again. Maybe you were allergic to the certain "scent"..idk...maybe...try the unscented ones..um..yeah..there we go.

uh, thatz never happened to me b4, I'd go see a doctor

wow, you'd be a pretty creepy girl...

You could have gotten TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) from using tampons too early. My mom's sister used them when she was like 13 and she got TSS. I don't know...that's just what I'm saying it might be. So...sorry if I couldn't help

Hmmm...you should go see a gyno. How long did you wear it? Well, you shouldn't wear tampons longer than 8 hours because then you could get TSS. Well, you should stop using tampons for a while. Ok, I'm done.

i guess so

i think it was from the blood

i use da pad cuz my mother dislikes me using tampons (so i never used tampons b4) but my mother tells me it should kinda sore... we r bff, but not anymore

yeah it might be a lil dry...try like a lower absorbancy rate...it wasn't red for me...just a lil sore the first time i used them.

=(. im sorry i wouldnt know. but you should ask your mom or ur doctor or something. my mom doesnt let me use tampons so i would have no idea

that didn't happen to me >____<" maybe its different for different girls. and ummm maybe you put it at the one place... like its suppose dto be 45 degrees angle towards something i forgot i've perfected it lol.

thats kind of scary. you really need to go see a doctor cuz you never know..

Maybe you are allergic to the cotton, or fiber that is in the tampon...
either that or try smaller tampons..

and maybe you should stop typing in capitals?!

well my vagina area got pretty red too so i think its normal
