Sometimes you need to put it in a correct way and sometimes your vagina just might be too short. I don’t like wearing them because they always hurt me

Could possibly be the angle in which you put it in! Sometimes it just goes in wonky 😔

I think so. I think it has to do with the angle. Also if your body isn't used to it itmight just be that

So like too far doesn’t really exist cause your cervix closes off “too far” but like others have said you might need to try inserting it from a different angle, like even standing with one leg elevated is a better position for some than sitting

More often than not you only end up feeling discomfort from tampons that aren’t in far enough or are too big in general.

could be too big a size rather the angle

i’ve always heard if it hurts or you can feel it then it’s in wrong. tampons aren’t for everyone, definitely not for me

I can only get them in if I stand. And then it just feels so off sometimes. Other times it’s fine but it hurts going in

I have to take them out the plastic things and insert by hand because the plastic makes the angles weird

I remember back in the day that had instructions for it and it said to like stand but with your knees slightly bent

maybe I’ll try this. Cause I put the plastic in and push once the cotton comes out is when it hurts I have to kinda pull it out a little (why I asked if it could be too far in)

If it hurts it could be the sizing of the tampon, tampon isn’t inserted in enough or the angle of it. Could also be because your cervix is low and irritating it. Maybe try a different size, different position when inserting it.
