ok so if youve seen my other questions, im thirteen and on my period and finally convinced my mother to let me wear a tampon, since i hate the pads, plus this week is our swimming unit in PE. so i just put one in for the first time and have thought of a bunch of questions....
1) i know ur cevix stops the tampon from going into ur uterus and being lost forever (o noes!), but if the tampon keeps touching the cervix is that bad? and if it does would it be normal for it to hurt a little bit?
2) if you don't insert it far enough wat happens and is it possible for it to fall out?
3) when going swimming, it is possible for the tampon to absorb water as well as blood? cuz wat if i get in the pool and it fills with water and no more room is left for blood so then it starts leaking and going into the water and everyone laughs at me and says eewww omg freaking out!!!!!
4) since it is near the end of my week and its pretty light, how often should i change it?
5) i was kindof nervous while putting it in for the first time, and after i put it in i was kindof sweating a little. its possible that it was from being nervous? or is this some side effect thats telling me i shouldnt wear tampons anymore? cuz i really really dont want toxic shock syndrome....:(
OK THATS IT!! THANKS! O, and if u have any other advice for me, thats cool too. :DO noes! im i going to be okay with this tampon?? ladies help! please and thank you sosososososo much thank you?1) The tampon won't harm your cervix. I wouldn't expect that you'd have pain from it, maybe a little pressure.
2) If you don't insert it far enough you'll be uncomfortable, so you'll know to insert it farther. If you don't get it past your pubic bone it will be uncomfortable. It won't fall out.
3) No. Somehow that doesn't happen.
4) Not sooner than 4 hours, maybe longer. If you tug the string gently and the tampon doesn't want to move, leave it in longer.
5) Nerves and sweating--normal!!O noes! im i going to be okay with this tampon?? ladies help! please and thank you sosososososo much thank you?no, the tampon does absolutly nothing to you, just keep changing it every 3 hours to prevent infections. try not to use tampons on the heaviest days of your period (causes yeast infections), the tampon will not fall out, youll just feel really uncomfortable and wont be able to walk. the muscles holding the tampon in place do not let water into your vagina, therefore youll be fine in the water (thats what theyre made for). you were just sweating because you were anxios and nervous, it happens. TSS is a very rare thing, but, you wont get it from sweating. it mostly happens because it stays stuck in (lets say you had one in, forgot, and then put another in pushing the string inside) for more that 2 days.
hope this helpedO noes! im i going to be okay with this tampon?? ladies help! please and thank you sosososososo much thank you?first of all relax your worrying too much
and it shouldn't hurt if you put it in the right way
there is no way it will get %26quot;lost forever%26quot;
no is will not absorb water because it is inside not sticking out
it won't leak. if you are worried or have a heavy flow, change it right before swimming
there are no %26quot;side effects%26quot; from wearing a tampon you are just nervous
and your blood stops flowing when you are in the water
the only way you will get toxic shock syndrome is if you leave it in after your period is over or often leave it in for over 12 hoursO noes! im i going to be okay with this tampon?? ladies help! please and thank you sosososososo much thank you?1) your tampon should never hit your cervix, you'd put it up there really far if you got it up there.
2) If you don't insert it far enough it won't fall out, it will leak more than likely.
3) no the tampon won't absorb water, just the blood, but you should change your tampon after your class is over for hygene purposes, such as chlorine being in the pool.
4) you should change your tampon every 4-8 hours regardless.
5) that was a sign of being nervous. You won't get TSS unless you aren't on your period and the tampon absords all the discharge coming from your vagina. Most tampon brands (at least Tampax I know) has low risk for TSS.
Don't freak out when you put in tampons.O noes! im i going to be okay with this tampon?? ladies help! please and thank you sosososososo much thank you?1 no its okay if it touches the cervix, and u shouldnt be able to feel it, so if you feel it, and try again.
2 no, it is inside your body, it cant absorb water really, u will not leak.
3. u will know if its not far enought
4 stilll change it at your normal time
5. you were probly nervous, and just remember to take it out!! you wont get toxic shock syndrome if u remember to take it out every... 3-4-5 hours... right?O noes! im i going to be okay with this tampon?? ladies help! please and thank you sosososososo much thank you?You should not let a natural body function became excuse for not participating in important learning programs.The Body is design to prevent infection if due care is taken.
