Why are tampons so painful?
I understand. I was the same way when I was younger, and it really didn’t get any better until I started having an active sex life. From what I’ve heard it’s just that some people are more senstive than others, particuarlly if you haven’t had sex yet or don’t masturbate– anything that would have left your hymen unbroken. If you are young, this could be the problem. If you are older, I would try inserting something small, then gradually larger (play… dont’ just shove it in, get comfortable with it. Find out exactly what hurts and what doesn’t) until you can fit a tampon comfortably. You might also try a lubricant, at least while you’re learning to get comfortable with tampons. It may just be that you’re catching the skin when you insert at the wrong angle. Lubricant would help with this.
