Is it normal if i don't know how to use a tampon?

I'm 22 and idk how to use a tampon. I have always used pads but seen tampons and read instructions about them but it sounds pretty confusing based on what I've heard they do. I thought it was faster way to get rid of your period but maybe that's not right cause it makes the instructions more confusing. And def don't wanna ask anybody in person knowing I'm 22. If I was way younger they would understand.

Is It Normal?

  • No wonder you are hesitant. All those happy talk, abstract, girly talk, say nothing tutorials are confusing at best.

  • Tampons are demon spawn. Pads all the way.

  • I've never used then myself but, I think, all you have to do is unwrap the tampon and insert it into your vagina. You aren't supposed to keep it in for too long, least you'll develop toxic shock syndrome.

  • Using a tampon does not make your period go away. Look up a tutorial on how to use it. I too was scared of using it the first time since throughout my teenage years i used pads. Also make sure you do not keep it in for an excessively long time especially on heavy days. The only time i use a tampon anymore is if i go to the pool or the beach.

  • You're right, it is easier to just get rid of your period. I take a Continuous dose of birth control pills and never have to deal with that shit. Its lovely. I'm also in perfect healthy by the way, for all those people who think erradicating your period is somehow detrimental to ones health.

  • Don't be ashamed or embarrassed! This is a situation you can fully take advantage of the internet for. I can't count the amount of times I've messed up putting a tampon in, sounds simple but not always

  • I was a little scared the first time I used a tampon, I was eighteen then. You should use those that come with applicators.
