Should you be able to feel tampon strings?

by Ancey, Jul 07, 2008 12:13PM
I've just started trying tampons now, I'm a bit of an older teen, and tampons seem like they might be useful for daytime heavy flows (I still plan to wear pads at night to prevent TSS because I sleep for more than 8 hours sometimes.).

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that I've put the tampon in all the way, but I still think I can feel the string, and though it's not ever painful, I can tell it's there when I move (It's actually a bit of a tickle sometimes...) Is it normal to feel the tampon string, especially when you're just starting to use them? Or is it possible it's not in all the way?

your supposed to feel the string. i dont think you can put it up there far enough so that you dont feel the string. that would be kinda painful. i might not be in all the way if you can feel the tampon on the outside.
