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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Why do people use tampons? I've always used pads and never had a problem. And they are super easy to change every time you go to the bathroom.

I always figured it was because they enjoy the possibility of bacterial infections including the risk of toxic shock syndrome. :Ua

Pads always make me feel like I'm wearing a diaper or something, and you can't swim in them. But it's really a personal choice. Anyway, you pad people and we tampon people need to stick together against the menstrual cup users. Those freaks....

Well to each their own, but I personally prefer tampons because I don't feel them as much, and I have had experiences in the past where pads just didn't work for me. But like I said, that's also just me.

Some of us don't like the 24/7 reminder that we're on our period that a diaper-like pad gives you.

Yeah I agree^ pads feel like nappies/diapers and whenever you sit down you can feel it. First time trying to use tampons took a while, but it's so worth it. You can't they're there and they're easier to use and feel cleaner :)

It gets easier. If you don't like your brand, there are many others to try, with different types of applicators. They range from no applicators (like OB), to cardboard, to smooth plastic. Over time, you will learn your preference and it won't be a big deal at all. :)

As a mime I can tell you that 'self-rape' is NOT funny. Sometimes I find myself in terror and anxiety over whether or not my abuser will return! But all I have to go on is this crusty rag I use after cleaning myself off... But god, do I sleep like a baby!

You'll get used to it. Everyone does.

Just relax, try propping a leg up on the bathtub or something, and remember that your vaginal canal is angled, not straight up.

Gotta get someone to loosen you up first. I couldn't get a tampon in until I got some help ;)

Yeah, when I used a tampon for the first time it didn't feel right. But then I decided I'd go have sex because it would help....What?
