No, you shouldn't feel a tampon when it's inserted correctly!
If you can feel it, remove it and try again later with a fresh tampon!
One of the biggest signs that a tampon is in correctly is that you can go about your day without noticing it!
When it sits above the nerves in your vagina, it should feel comfortable!
You may feel your tampon if it's sitting too low in the vaginal canal.
This can happen if the applicator wasn't inserted far enough before pressing the pusher.
It can also happen if your muscles were tense during insertion or if you aimed the tampon straight up instead of toward your lower back.
If the tampon feels uncomfortable, remove it and try again with a fresh tampon!
Next time, insert the applicator until your fingers reach your body at the grip, then press the pusher all the way in!
Yes!
If uncomfortable, try going down a size.
Tampon size is about flow and absorbency, not vagina size!
Tampon use should be comfortable, not painful.
If you're unsure where the tampon goes, if insertion is painful, or if you can't remove a tampon, ask a trusted adult or healthcare professional for help.
There's no need to feel embarrassed-this is new for many people, and learning takes practice!
Is it normal to feel a tampon? You shouldn't feel it when it's inserted correctly!
Why does my tampon feel uncomfortable? It may be sitting too low, inserted at the wrong angle, or too absorbent for your flow.
Think of this as a comfort check: if you can feel the tampon, your body may be telling you to adjust the placement or absorbency!
