How to use a tampon
during your period


Most of us will try to use a tampon during a period at sometime, so it's important to know how to insert a tampon the right way. It might seem tricky at first, but after trying several times, inserting tampons can become as easy as putting on a glove. The key is to RELAX! Worrying about it may make you tense, making insertion even harder. Read the tampon's package instruction leaflet carefully, and practice inserting a tampon during your period when your period flow is moderate to heavy. Then the tampon should glide in easily. Remember you should only use a tampon when menstruating.

  Step 1:
Wash your hands and unwrap a fresh tampon. Stand or sit in a comfortable position: some women find it easiest to crouch down with knees apart or to stand with one foot on the toilet seat or bath. Hold the applicator (where the ridges are on the tube) with the thumb and middle finger of one hand.
