Today, I switched from pads to tampons. It took me several botched attempts trying insert one before I succeeded, and now I feel like I've just raped myself. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to make the switch from pads to tampons. My boyfriend ended up having to show me how to apply them. FML
Today, I was mugged while changing my tampon. The mugger took everything, including the fresh tampon. FML
Today, I put a tampon in. The string broke. I had to go to the hospital to get it out. FML
Today, I used a menstrual cup for the first time. I couldn't get it out, after what seemed like ages of trying. I had to ask my boyfriend to help me. He'll never look at me the same way again. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, I realized I get more pleasure from a tampon than my boyfriend I have been having sex with for the past six months. FML
Today, I realized my tampon goes deeper than my boyfriend. FML
Today, I was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML
Today, I woke up in a puddle of blood after 7 hours of sleep. Before going to bed, I had inserted a tampon that should've kept me dry for at least 8 hours. Apparently it doesn't work well if sleepy me forgets to take the top part of the plastic wrapping off. FML
Today, I'm sick with a fever, and on my cycle I was too tired and forgot to change my tampon, and ended up putting another one in. I woke up to go to the bathroom and ended up pulling two out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tampons aren't that hard to put in. Calm down. You're not raping yourself so stop being a pussy about it.

"If you ever get raped (it should not happen) you are in for a big surprise" more or less quote of Ross from friends :-)

The first time is always the worst. The best thing to do is just relax. The more stressed you are, the harder it is to get it in correctly. And this may sound a little strange, but if it's difficult to get it in because it's dry, you may want to put a small amount of lube on the tampon just to make it easier. Let me clarify for those on the internet who enjoy taking things out of context: I'm not saying to ********** with it, but a little bit of lubrication will definitely help when it's too dry to feel comfortable. Hope this helps a little OP.

It hurts the first time - I'd have used and applicator one. Trust me, it will stop hurting after about 5 times, so the first pains are worth it :D And once you get it in the right place, it's much more comfortable and you feel more free.

Pads suck butt-hole in my opinion. I literally CRIED for hours when I first used a tampon but I got the hang of it and it's soo much better/cleaner. I feel your pain. This is the only time saying 'girl power' doesn't sound sexist and over-rated. ;)
