Which hole does the tampon go in?

There are two openings in the vulva (a woman's external sex organs) — the urethra and the vagina. Menstrual fluid flows from the vagina (the lower of the two openings), so this is where a tampon should go.

How do you know which hole to put tampon in?

The first, which is the smallest, is your urethral opening (where pee comes out of), which is not where the tampon goes or would even fit in the first place. The second hole is your target; this is actually your vaginal opening where the tampon will fit.

Do you pee out of the same hole you put a tampon in?

For the record, yes, you can absolutely pee with a tampon in. It all comes down to basic anatomy: Urine comes out of one hole (your urethra) and period blood comes out of another opening (your vagina). Going further, poop comes out of a third hole (your anus)—your nether regions are basically a triple threat.

Why can't I find the hole for my tampon?

Don't panic, you definitely do have a hole- that's how your period blood gets out. It'll just be small because of your hymen. I'd suggest having a look at a diagram to see where it's meant to be, and then sitting down with a mirror and having a good look. Also don't worry about tampon vs.

Is it normal to feel a tampon for the first time?

If it's inserted correctly, you shouldn't feel anything. But if you don't insert the tampon far enough, it might feel uncomfortable. To make it more comfortable, use a clean finger to push the tampon farther up the vaginal canal.

How To Put In A Tampon-Step by Step

Is it normal for a tampon to hurt when you put it in?

Tampons shouldn't be painful or uncomfortable. While wearing them, they should be barely noticeable. Remember: Practice makes perfect. So if you insert a tampon and it doesn't feel comfortable, remove it and try again.

Should I help my daughter insert a tampon?

What age is appropriate for tampons?

Tampons are completely safe to use, and kids as young as 10 years old can use them if they are comfortable with using them. In fact, many tweens and teens may even want to start with tampons, especially if they are active in sports or other activities.

Can a 13 year old use a tampon?

How old should you be to use tampons? There is no minimum age for tampon usage. If adolescents want to use tampons, they can usually begin using them as soon as their menstrual cycle starts.

Can you poop with a tampon?

Feces can contain harmful bacteria and can cause vaginal infections if it accidentally gets on the tampon string. If you want to change your tampon every time you poop, it's your prerogative. If you'd rather not, just hold the string to the front or side to avoid getting feces on it, or tuck it into those handy labia.
