Why, Why is every girl afraid of using tampon? Options

[Synthetic.Love]

Lol. It was a joke, anyway.

I dunno, I just don't feel comfortable using those. Some of my friends use them, and they love 'em, but some have used them but didn't like them.

It's not that I'm afraid to use them, I just don't want to.

[ANG33ZY]

You gotta stick it in your vagina, of course some females are going to be afraid of that. Some females prefer pads because it's more comfortable for them, like how you prefer tampons.

[loveTWOhateTWO]

I'm just afraid that it's going to hurt to pop the cherry... or that I'll put it in wrong or something.

[KissMe2408]

Because we've been told that it hurts.

I was always afraid of using one, because someone I knew passed out from the pain or whatever, so i was scared.

But then I got over it, and was like, "Yah, this is stupid."
So just started using them, and it didn't really hurt.

Passed out from the pain? You actually knew her? I mean, it wasn't a friend of a friend of a friend or anything like that? It's not even painful! Even for my first time.. I can't imagine someone passing out from it.

[Joss-eh-lime]

i was just like..how would that fit up there?

but i tired it..& it wouldnt go in >.<

[AngelinaTaylor]

Because it hurts like a bitchhhhhh..

If a tampon is inserted correctly, you don't feel it. If you don't put it in deep enough, it hurts like a SOB. TSS is extremely rare and some simple steps can help you avoid it.

I use both tampons and pads, it's just easier and more hygienic. You don't worry about accidents like with pads alone.

If it hurts with a regular-sized one, try a different position to insert or try a lower-absorbency tampon, some of them are so small, they're less the size of a girl's pinky finger.

I know of someone whose tampon was stuck and it was a HUGE and embarassing task to remove it but that's a rarity.

[*chaneun*]

wikipedia nicknamed a tampon a "penetrator"

[*shannonx1*]

hahha man... i remember the first time i used a tampon...
i used to be really scared, that it'd hurt or that i wouldn't be able to get it out and all that... it took me hours to finally get it in... and no, it doesn't hurt at all. it's not even uncomfortable. it's only uncomfortable if you don't stick it in all the way.

[Stefanny]

Heh. No wonder it huwrt so much...

It doesn't hurt. It just feels weird the first few times. If you do it right, you wouldn't even be able to feel it inside of you at all.

i was just like..how would that fit up there?

but i tired it..& it wouldnt go in >.<

You probably used one that's too big for you.

& by the way, you can't lose your virginity to a tampon. You can only lose it to a guy....Or a girl, which is highly NOT recommended.

[sixeightshuffle]

ive heard people cant find the string, and it hurts, so yea

[lightsabersavvy]

not every girl is. but it can be quite scary if youre going to use one for the first time and youre trying to shove something plastic up yourself. haha.

sorry. that was a little crude.

theyre really comfortable once you get used to them.

[femmefatale4160]

All girls AREN'T afraid of them, but anyway. They cause Toxic Shock Syndrome, which is fatal. That's a good reason to be scared.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I dont know why, it doesnt hurt at all.

[mznikki]

my friend and i used to say it's like plugging urself up like ur a sink or something

i tried it before and was to impatient to get used to it. i will eventually though.

[xXSydneyXx]

tampons don't hurt! it feels better than a pad.. where you sit in your blood all day.. pads also feel like your wearing a diaper. O.o

it's not even painful.. lol

[xourzestt]

well.. you're kind-of shoving somthing up your virgina and breaking this layer of skin in it. So im just imagining that IT'S FRICKEN GONNA HURT!!!!!!!!!!

[femmefatale4160]

^The layer of skin is your hymen. And they don't always break because of tampon usage.

[xourzestt]

^The layer of skin is your hymen. And they don't always break because of tampon usage.

i know it's a hymen. I was just saying that to make it sound more dramatic.

[shesdressedtokil...]

im scared to use it because i dont know where to place it. people said there was "two holes" in your vagina. and yeah i thought, how can you pee? never really had a health class. ):

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

^^^Lol. I mean, tampons going UP THERE. I don't feel exactly comfortable with a plastic tube thing in my vagina.

WORD.

i know as hell that if im going to have something stick up my v-hole its not going to be a tampon.... (shivers)

[kynacolada]

From using a tampon, you are at risk of Toxis Shock Syndrome (TSS).

gross.

[femmefatale4160]

It would seem that the girls here who don't use tampons think that a) it hurts and b) they won't be a virgin anymore. Both of those reasons are crap. If you put a tampon in properly, you can't even feel it. And you've only lost your virginity if you've had sex. Althought there is a possibility of breaking your hymen with a tampon, it's unlikely and it doesn't mean that your virginity is lost.

[Mschamgirl]

haha well tha vagina part is kinda true i guess but some girls are athletic to i mean if u were playing soccer or some thing u would not want to have some thing stick up there but there is a new tampond for atheletic but still i perfer pads better
