Tampon discomfort

[Rebekah001]

Hello
I've just started using tampons for the first time and I'm 20 as I wasn't allowed to use them while living at home.
I've been able to get it in but I can feel it. It's painful as such I can just feel that it's there and a tiny bit discomfort. Is that normal?
Thanks

Try to lube the area before inserting the tampon if possible and don't wear them threw the night always wear a pad during bed time if that doesn't work just wear pads they have a variety for underwear and thongs if needed...

I should also add that not everyone can use tampons. Some people's bodies cannot handle foreign objects and will have a negative reaction. I cannot use them at all. My body freaks out and i get sick. So if their ideas do not solve the issue, you may consider the idea that your body just can't handle it.

I used to get the same problem, I was using the regular absorbency ones, and I could always feel them even when they were in high enough. So now I use the light absorbency ones, and just change them more regularly. Hope this helps!!

Hi there.  No, that is not normal.  You generally don't feel them at all.  Are you pushing them in high enough.  At times when I don't do that and they are too low in the vagina, I can feel them and they are uncomfortable.  So, you need to insert them rather deeply (don't worry, the string will still be outside).  also maybe start with regular size.  But you should not feel them hon.  good luck
