It was my first time putting a tampon in and it was genuinely the scariest thing ever I was crying and it was rlly hard for me to relax I knew I should learn how to do it tho bc pads felt a little gross for me personally but I put it in and idk why I’m still so scared I’m shaking and I start crying again when I have to sit for some reason. I feel it and it’s like actually terrifying idk why it just is. Ig I don’t like the thought of something just being in my body. I feel it and it doesn’t hurt bc I’m pretty sure I put it in correctly but I feel it and it’s very uncomfortable and that just scares me even more. Hopefully it will be better once I take it out. But can anyone tell me if how I’m feeling is normal or not pls
Update: turns out it wasn’t normal yeah probably gonna be a little while before I put in another tampon THEY HURT TO TAKE OUT LIKE BADDD My mom and sisters noticed I was uncomfortable and I told them I felt scared for some reason and we were abt to go to the mall bc we needed to be out of the house for a showing and mom told me to take it out and use a pad and so I was in the downstairs bathroom with a very untrustworthy lock trying to pull it out IT HURT SO BAD and I thought it was stuck bc I didn’t know if it was supposed to hurt as bad as it did and so it was hard to relax so IT WASNT COMING OUT and ig it took awhile bc I heard my mom walk in and I was crying rlly loudly bc I was terrified and she was stressed out bc she didn’t know what was happening and she was yelling that she was gonna come in and I don’t want my mom seeing me like that honestly bc it was so embarrassing and so I screamed no and she kept freaking out and then I kept freaking out and she was telling me to hurry bc we had to be out of the house rlly soon and I still couldn’t feel it moving AT ALL and then they had my sister come in and bc she used a tampon before and I asked if it was supposed to hurt and she said yeah and that made me feel a little better bc I knew that it wasn’t stuck and then somehow I finally got it out without anyone having to come in the bathroom (thank goodness) and then I was still freaking out slightly in the car. Genuinely one of the most embarrassing and horrifying Experiences for me and so it’s safe to say I won’t be trying tampons again for a while. I feel so ashamed of myself bc I’m way too old to be freaking out over tampons and why was I scared even with it in like ☹️. Bc I’m way too old to be doing all this I will for sure try tampons again just probably after I move bc I must try when I have nothing else to do that day.

It's normal to feel uncomfortable, my first time putting on a tampon was definitely uncomfortable. I think for some people it takes getting used too
