How are tampons supposed to feel? I used one for the 1st time and it felt itchy and dry while using and removing and after the 8 hrs I didn’t use (?) it all (tbh most of the time I just use period underwear or a little bit of tp don’t judge me pls)

Sounds like your flow isn’t enough to suit a tampon, maybe use a pad instead of a tampon when you aren’t using period underwear

You shouldn’t feel it too much at all really. The only times I feel it is if I don’t have enough flow for one or if Its full and I need to replace it with a new one. It could also be a sizing/flow issue, where you could be getting ones built for a heavier period/size too

So you weren’t bleeding at all?

its normal for it to be uncomfy if you didn’t bleed much to remove but if you can feel it while it’s in there then you probably put it in wrong like at the wrong angle

What color was the tampon when you took it out? Brown or red? Was the whole thing covered in that color or was there still a lot of white showing? If you have brown then you probs shouldn’t use a tampon at all, it’s just going to throw off your ph balance. If it’s red and has some white spots then use a smaller size and try again, if the same problem arises then don’t use one at all

Yes but I pushed the time as long as I could bc I know it hurts to pull it out dry and it was still pretty dry

Had you already started your period when you put it in?

Yes sorry I put it in like 16 hours into my period so like just about as heavy as my flow gets. Which I don’t think is that heavy but idk like the normal amount..

Maybe you used a size that’s too big?

I used regular should I use light instead? Also how would I get a box of just that because my local store only has variety packs or single packs of regular/super
