Thread: I don't feel comfortable with a tampon?

I put it in as far as I can. I hold the 'grip' of the applicator (tampax pearl) and when i touch skin, i stop. Then I push in the smaller stick part to push in the tampon, but it doesn't go in all the way. I get the small stick in until about 2 centimeters is still sticking out. I try to force it in a little more but I can't, so I take it out. It doesn't hurt, but it's a little uncomfortable. I also DO put it in at approximately 45 degree angle. How can I get the little stick in all the way?

its ok if u don't feel comfertable just use a pad...i think they wrk better and they are more comfertable
