I put a tampon in for the first time ever today and it hurt! I took it out right then and there! Is that normal for a tampon to hurt?

Usually it only hurts if it's inserted wrong, it does take a bit of trial and error to get it right.

  Yeah, you don't insert it in a straight line you have to sort of put it in at a backward angle.

      Yeah, the birthing canal isn't a straight line it goes backward. I don't know if I made sense so just google it.

        It makes sense. It’s just odd.

I don't use tampons, I find them uncomfortable and invasive.

    Yep, it's not all white dresses, horseback riding and days at the beach like commercials show.

        Once I had to have a colonoscopy, and I got my period the night before. I wanted to reschedule, but the nice lady at my doctor's office talked me out of it. The next morning, before the colonoscopy I told a female nurse about my problem, and she told me to just use a tampon. Well, those things are really uncomfortable, and borderline painful so I thought, "fuck that noise"! Anyway, I did tell the male nurse who was probably gay, and he didn't seem bothered in the least so... meh.
        
        Yeah, I don't remember the last time I wore a damn tampon. My flow is too light for that crap. Fuck that noise!

Yes, it's normal that the tampon hurt. I don't know if you've inserted a finger before, but when I was younger, the first time I did even that hurt.

  Sahara dry maybe. Usually it's down to incorrect placement. Dryness is more of an issue coming out rather than going in. Any gal should know that.

    Uhh..ok then I guess you’re right, I assumed it was dryness due to the feeling. Also super ones hurt coming out unless you’re hefty I’m assuming

I think so, but I do not wear them. Someone once told me I was a wimp for saying my pap smear hurt, but whatever. Maybe she was just a loose cannon down there. I don't really know.

After you wear them a few times it gets better. I found that pulling them out is usually what hurts.

  So I just have to get used to wearing them more often and they get better. I've been trying to wear them so when I'm on it in summer I can swim.

it hurt me at the start kinder, I didn’t understand how a tampon was a challenge for me. Also I thought it was all the way up to my sister I said “ I don’t thinks it’s in enough” she said “it just feels like that” then it came out in the beach :’)

It hurt so much the first few times I tried to put a tampon in. It's normal and just one of those things.

My mom and i never could wear them. Supposedly if inserted correctly you cant feel them but i always did.
My biggest reason is toxic shock possibility. Unless youre a professional swimmer or gymnast theres no reason to wear them...
