How to Insert A Tampon
Applicator
1.
Wash your hands with soap and water and remove the tampon from its wrapper.
2.
Pull the applicator's inner tube out until it comes to a natural stop (it's roughly as long as the outer tube).
3.
Use your non-dominant hand to gently hold your labia apart. Push the tampon in until the outer tube is almost completely inside of you. It should insert easily, but you may need to wiggle the tampon side to side for easier insertion.
4.
Holding the outer tube at the ridge, push the inner tube completely into the outer tube, until the ends of each tube are close together. Gently pull out the applicator.

1.
Wash your hands with soap and water and remove the tampon from its wrapper.
2.
Holding the tampon with one hand, pull the string from one end so it hangs down from the tampon. Place your pointer finger on the base.
3.
Gently hold your labia apart and push the tampon inside your vagina, aiming towards the lower back. It should insert easily, but you may need to wiggle the tampon side to side for easier insertion.
4.
Using your pointer finger, slide the tampon in until it comes to a natural stop and is inside your vagina with only the string dangling outside.
5.
Stand up. You should no longer feel the tampon inside of you. If you can still feel it, gently adjust the tampon with your finger.
6.
Dispose of the tampon wrapper and wash your hands again with soap and water.

Tips & Tricks
Try different sizes
You may need a Super or Super Plus tampon for heavier days, and then move on to a Regular or Light tampon when your flow becomes lighter toward the end of your period.
When to change
Always change your tampon every 4-8 hours. Blood on the tampon string indicates that the tampon is saturated with blood, so change it right away.
Extra protection
To avoid leaks, some people wear pads or liners with tampons when they sleep. Period Underwear also pairs well with tampons and is a great sustainable option.
