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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

"**** yourself!" is only a phrase, don't take it too literally!

Tell me about it, putting a tampon in my penis felt so unnatural at first :/

You won't regret it. I haven't worn pads since I was 13. You know unless you like feeling like you're constantly wearing a dirty diaper.

Umm you reach up in there and pull it out. Not rocket science.

I couldn't use tampons until after I lost my virginity, I was too tight. If you don't feel comfortable having sex yet, I'd recommend buying a ***** or a vibrator and use that to loosen things up a bit. They're often easier to get in than a tampon, not to mention being aroused will make your body more accepting of it.

i was a virgin when i first tried tampons, and it took me 5 tries, because i wasn't relaxed enough. once you relax, so do your pelvic muscles and it makes it much easier to insert the tampon. it never hurt, at the most it just felt uncomfortable. if you can feel the tampon inside you at all, that means it isn't inserted far back enough, in which case, you just take it out and try again - no harm done. just takes practice, and as far as i'm aware, it doesn't matter whether you're a virgin or not. also, i'm with #258 - ever since i got used to wearing tampons, i never went back to pads. if you find that even the super tampons can't withstand your flow, usually a pantyliner will do as backup/'time-to-change-tampon-alert'.

I've never tried a tampon and don't intend to ever do so. From all the horror stories I've read, that's a good decision. I'd much rather use pads, they're 10x easier to deal with.

You think that's bad. My mom refused to show me how to insert one do my best friend instructed me threw the phone and first question was, "well do you finger yourself"
