Steps for how to insert a tampon Step 1: Wash your hands Now that you have mastered how to insert a tampon, it's time to learn how to remove a tampon. When it's time to remove your tampon, first wash your hands. Next, get into a comfortable position, relax your body, and use your hands to locate the tampon string. Then use your finger and thumb to grip the string and pull it slowly out of your vagina. We know it’s tempting, but please do not flush your tampon. Tampons should be disposed of properly in with your household waste. After you have removed the tampon, remember to wash your hands. That said, it shouldn’t deter you from using a tampon if you’ve never engaged in penetrative sexual activity. Try starting out with lighter absorbency tampons, and work your way up from there.

Most people sit on the toilet or stand while slightly squatting to insert a tampon, but you can also try lying down or propping one foot up on a step or another raised surface (e.g., the edge of the bath). The most important thing is to take a deep breath and relax all your muscles – if you squeeze your bum or tense the muscles around the vagina, it won’t be as easy to insert the tampon. Step 5: Set the tip

After you’ve pushed the plunger in all the way, pull the applicator (both plastic pieces) out. The string will be the only thing left hanging out of your vagina. TA-DA!Now you’re ready. Slowly insert the tampon applicator from the tip, all the way to the grip. When you’ve inserted it far enough, your fingers on the grip will probably be touching your vulva (the external opening of your vagina).

Don’t suffer in silence or be inconvenienced because it feels embarrassing. We promise you it’s not! Gynaecologists deal with these issues more often than you would think. How to remove your tampon

These applicators might be more comfortable or easier to insert. However, because they’re made of more expensive material, they can also be more expensive than cardboard or applicator-free alternatives. Extendable applicators Once you’ve inserted tip to grip, it’s time to use your index finger or your other hand to push the plunger all the way into the applicator and release the tampon. Step 9: Remove the applicatorFind a position you feel comfortable in––it varies for each person, but a tampon can be inserted while squatting, sitting or putting one leg up on the toilet seat. If you’re ready to ditch pads, you might want to start out small at first. Try a lower absorbency tampon for your first time. Then, once you have a better gauge on your flow and insertion, you can move around to a higher absorbency.

Not all people are born with intact hymens, so plenty never “break” or “pop” at all.
