Am I able to wear tampons?

Question

I've been trying to wear tampons for five years, on and off. I read the instructions many times to understand it. I know you have to pull downward. I tried pulling it as far as I could. I can still feel it no matter what if I'm standing or sitting down. When I walk its still uncomfortable. I've tried on my heavy days, light, and when I'm not on my period. I tried using the smallest tampons that are made. Still nothing. I will be able to feel it no matter what. I have painful sex too. I go slow on that. Even my right hipbone hurts. I cannot tell if it's actually my hipbone or my tubes being in pain. From my hip, I think it's related from having sex. It will hurt when I have sex or any other random time. I don't understand what it is. I went to the doctor for my hip and she said it was nothing.

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Answer 1

Tampons do NOT cause infections or cervical cancer, don't listen to that moron. I highly doubt she's even a real ''nurse'' and anyways, maybe trying using a small amount of lubricant when you insert the tampon? sometimes when it's inserted dry, it can be painful or maybe try using pads on your period. Talking to a doctor about this problem could help as well.

Honey tampons hurt me too (uncomfortable, as a nurse many women experience this, put they want to deny it!) Just use pads they are more comfy, and safe as tampons can cause cervical cancer and infection!
