No, it does not hurt, or at least it shouldn't. A little discomfort the first time is normal but if it really hurts, it may not be in far enough. If this seems to be the case, just take it out, and try again with a new one. You shouldn't be able to feel it if it's in all the way, you just might have to get used to the little string rubbing against your leg. Also, if you're having difficulty getting it in, put a little drop of lubricant or vasiline on the tip, and that should make things a bit easier. Just simply follow the directions on the box. If it does hurt after you put the tampon in, then you need to pull a little on the string until you feel comfortable, or take that one out and insert a new one. Please be careful of TSS (Toxic shock syndrome), which can happen if you leave it in too long, or if your body just can't tolerate tampons. Good luck:)

Hope this helps =]

For some, if it is your first time, you may tear your hyman. It's not a bad thing if you tear your hyman, so don't go call 911 unless the bleeding from tearing the hyman doesn't stop after 12 hours. Tearing your hyman hurts a bit, but it's not like getting stabbed.

Tampons shouldn't be painful, but they can hurt for a few reasons:

  • Using too high an absorbency or using tampons without sufficient flow.
  • Inserting tampons at the wrong angle or trying to force them into place.
  • If you have a short vaginal canal and insert into the cervix.
  • Not inserting tampons high enough in the vaginal canal.
  • Allergic reaction or irritation to type of tampons being used.

Make sure you're using lowest absorbency - ideally cotton tampons which are softer and hypoallergenic, also non-applicator which are simpler and give better control over insertion - use lubrication: do not use Vaseline, it's not safe, use KY jelly or natural oils like coconut oil.

No, inserting tampons shouldn't hurt.

There are a few reasons why tampon use could hurt:

  • Using too high an absorbency.
  • Using without full menstrual flow.
  • Inserting at the wrong angle.
  • Not inserting far enough.
  • Pushing into the cervix.
  • Allergic reaction to the tampon.

Use organic cotton tampons, start with lowest absorbency during full flow and relax - if you start to feel uncomfortable then stop and consider why you may be experiencing that discomfort, don't force the tampon in and cause yourself pain unnecessarily. For the record it's very unlikely you would tear your hymen from using a tampon unless you forced the tampon through your hymen, usually the hymen doesn't get in the way of tampon insertion at all.

Does it hurt the baby if i put in a tampon?

It wouldn't hurt the baby, but why would you put in a tampon, if you're pregnant you don't have your period.


Does putting in a tampon hurt im really scared?

Inserting a tampon should not hurt - being a virgin makes no difference as to whether it will hurt or not because sex doesn't change your vagina in any way - if scared there's no reason to use tampons. When it comes to inserting tampons you're in control so if you do start to feel pain then you just have to stop and address the cause of the pain. As long as you're relaxed and use tampons correctly it shouldn't hurt.


Why does it hurt when you poop with a tampon in?

the tampon maybe improperly inserted or there maybe other elements such as a tumour or hernia if the pain persists consult a physician


Dose putting in a tampon hurt?

Using tampons shouldn't hurt, although it can be uncomfortable.Tampons can be uncomfortable because they dry-out the vagina and because they can expand into the cervix so increase menstrual cramps. As long as you're relaxed and insert tampons correctly they shouldn't hurt, if you're tensed-up tampon insertion may be painful as you may have to force the tampon into the vagina and if not inserted high enough muscles will push against the tampon as you move. Make sure you're using lowest absorbency for your flow too, if your flow isn't heavy enough then tampons will dry-out the vagina more and friction will cause small vaginal tears.


Will a tampon make your uti hurt worse?

Not usually, unless you inserted it incorrectly.


Why does putting in a tampon hurt at first?

Because your body isn't used to them, and you are probably really tight so i recommend either using smaller tampons, or just wait it out a bit and after a while, you will get used to them and your vagina will stretch out to fit the tampon.


Why does it hurt when I push my tampon plunger in?

Pushing down on the plunger of the applicator is what pushes the tampon into the vagina.There are many reasons why inserting tampons may hurt including you being too tense when inserting, inserting at the wrong angle, or using too high an absorbency. It would help if you were to use a non-applicator tampon to improve control and feel for resistance to insert the tampon correctly.


Is pain normal after retrieving a stuck tampon?

Whether it's normal to feel pain after retrieving a 'stuck' tampon depends on what you mean by it being 'stuck', what you did to retrieve it, and how long afterwards it continues to hurt. If the tampon was 'stuck' because it was too dry then it would have caused vaginal tearing and irritation so would hurt. If the tampon was 'stuck' because you were tense and you had to force it out that would hurt too. If you're experiencing pain days or weeks after removal then you may be looking at an infection.


Can you loose the baby if you insert a tampon in your virgina?

You can't cause a miscarriage by putting a tampon in your vagina. You also can't cause one from a finger, sex toy, or penis in your vagina.


Why does it hurt to take a tampon out but not put it in I was relaxed while taking it out too but after about 10 minutes of calmly trying I broke out in tears why wouldn't it come out?

I have the exact same problem today, it doesnt hurt AT ALL when i put it in, then when i go to pull it out it starts to hurt and even burn a little and i panic. Somebody said its because a flap of skin goes over the tampon and you have to move it before you pull it out so its not in the way... Never tried that yet but let me know if it works this didnt really tell you why but after the usenof a tampon it expands as it absorbs so you will find that your takin something bigger out than putting something smaller in!


Does it hurt when you put a tampon in that's bigger?

Tampon size isn't an issue, remember that your vagina is designed to accommodate things far bigger than a tampon, but tampon absorbency is an issue. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing small tears in the vaginal walls, thus if you use too big an absorbency for your flow then it will have more of a drying effect so cause more tears - thus higher risk of TSS and more likely to cause discomfort. As long as you're relaxed and use the correct absorbency for your flow tampon use shouldn't hurt at all.


Will you pass a breathalyzer if an alcohol soaked tampon is inserted into your butt?

No, having a tampon inserted anally won't magically stop the breathalyzer from working.A tampon soaked with alcohol has no place in your anus, in fact tampons shouldn't go in your anus full-stop. Obviously putting a tampon up there is a waste of a tampon and a waste of the alcohol.
