They need to teach this in schools. You know before some girl thinks she’s bleeding out and dying lol
No one's believe that since the 90s, hello internet and smartphones 🙄
Yeah because once I had a friend that was 7 and she was bleeding there and everyone said she was weird and the teachers did not care and she was in pain all day and she was embarrassed 😞 i feal bad for her
@@mememom9293 the Jewish community in New York don’t allow women access to internet soooo not everyone has that. Rural communities. Listen some ppl don’t know till they know.
@@roxywyndham if they don't have internet you can be sure the parents make them sheltered in other parts of life. You can't get basic public school work done without the internet.
And most of those kids are homeschooled or go to private schools
@@Collinscraftedcharms oh my Lord. I hate school systems. The teachers don’t care about anybody. And the students are just flat out rude. I hope she is okay now. That sucks.
As a 17 year old who was never taught how to do this, I'm so grateful 🙏❤
Did it work?? Cuz I’ve never used one before I’ve attempted only a few times and it didn’t go well
POV the school system failed you so now your on CZcams tryna figure your life out
@@ottorus291 POV: You're homeschooled and your parents never taught you anything
@@pinkbunny365 it’s fineeeee youtube gonna pull through
@@armanisheltonsame for me as it didn't go in cause i did it wrong
I love how the girls not scared lol 😂 when I first saw a tampon in water I was like “how is that supposed to get out?!” But it’s ok now because I use them 👍🫶
And remember every vagina is different and some people can't use tampons it's okay.
tampons kan beter verboden worden in de wereld iedereen die kan gewoon maandverband gebruiken voor menstruatie bloed 🩸 normaal hoor
die tampons ziekte is levensgevaarlijk maandverband in onderbroek is beter voor menstruatie bloed normaal hoor
met maandverband gebruiken ook niet tampons ziekte natuurlijk loogies
I freaking love how open and willing these women are to talk about this stuff it makes me happy❤
I love you just want to teach her and your so patient with her which makes her feel comfortable asking questions
i was on my period once when i was at my boyfriend’s house and we were hanging out across the street. i had to go change my tampon and he didn’t want to let me go alone so we walked home, i went into the bathroom and he sat outside the whole time, making sure i was okay (and playing with a random non-used tampon i had in my bag since he was curious)
thats honestly the cutest thing ever
edit: the weirdest thing is the house i was at was the house to my future teachers house. it’s so awkward in his class now
@@leahgrace0406 Oh damn thats awkward
It's so cuute❤
I’ve tried to use one but I start shaking and tense up, and if I do get it to work it feels uncomfortable and hurts most of the time 😅
One thing I used to do whatever I first started using them was that I would turn on music and go to the bathroom to calm myself down so that they were easy to insert. Another thing I learned in order to prevent being uncomfortable, was to put one leg on the toilet seat, like a lunge pretty much and insert at an angle (like aim for your tummy). Hope that helps! I didn’t learn until wayyy later.
@@jennaliv thank you!
you might be putting it in wrong or too deep but to me tampons are a life changer and makes periods sm easier
I know I got so shaky for hours after
Same here. I know how to put one in the right way but I have not mastered the most comfortable way to angle it so after idk how many tries I am determined to keep on trying but I mostly use pads
As someone who doesn’t have their period yet this video makes me a whole lot less scared, and when I do get mine I’ll get August
I love how she is putting this on CZcams and TikTok because some girls need to know this stuff
AS SOMEONE WHO USES TAMPONS YOU NEED TO CHANGE THEM MORE THAN EVERY 8 HOURS CAUSE YOU CAN GET TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME SO PLEASE CHANGE AT LEAST EVERY 4 HOURS!
She said at least 8 hours which means worst case scenario. Leaving tampons in for LONGER than 8-12 hours increases the risk of TSS
You don't need to change them every 4 hours, I mean possibly if you have a really heavy flow, but if you have a more light one you may end up pulling put a dry one (which sucks) it's good to change it around every 6 hours depending on your flow and the absorbency of the tampon.
It depends on your flow, some people can make it that full 8 hours (and then yes, you should absolutely remove it) but some people need to change it much more often. My flow goes up and down A LOT during my period so sometimes i can make it 8 hours and sometimes i can only use it for 30 min, it all depends on the person
most tampon packages say 4-6 or 4-8 its really what ever the package suggests leaving them in for more than 8 hours though increases risk of TSS
These TYPES of tampons u can change them up to 8 hrs
so next time keep it to urself u don’t know every yuh ing
I’m happy they are teaching this my mom never wore them so she couldn’t teach me lol
I tried my best and it hurt so bad bc I stuck it up to far forwards this time last time to far back and it hurt so bad ❤
It’s not supposed to hurt a lot, be careful! Don’t be too abrupt with yourself. 🫶🏻 Wishing you luck!
Change it every time you go to the bathroom. I specifically make extra trips for tampon changes about every 1-3hours while I am awake and about every 3-4 hours at night due to a heavier flow and to keep it from leaking through. (You couldn't pay me to wear pads. It's been 14 years without them)
I want to try so bad but I'm scared that it will leak out. The pads gross me out sometimes, and it's so uncomfortable for me that I feel like it's gonna fall out anytime, or I walk funny, too. I have a question: Do you use the tampons and everything? You are going to use the bathroom. You have to change even on urine, too? Like, what's gonna happen if you pee and you have tampons inside?
You absolutely do NOT need to change it every time you use the bathroom
@@thesouloflife4654help ur making me doubt even more 😭
Im gratefull for what you do keep it up❤❤
I can’t stop watching period related videos it makes me feel so much at home
i love that you teach this. younger my would have been so much more prepared😅
i'm terrified of tampons and i tried putting one in today and i mentally couldnt do it
omg same😭
Thank you so much! I really needed to know this right now because my school only provides tampons, and I’m used to wearing pads, so I didn’t know how to put it in.
I am sooo grateful for you ❤
The little girl is so prettyyh
Ok yeah this should be more widespread but personally i don't understand how can girls get their first period and not know whats happening and same with pregnancy. I never had the talk and idk if it was because my mom knew that i already knew or she forgot. Idk when i learnt that kind of stuff but i have a foggy memory of when i was maybe in preschool or 1st grade, i saw a video of labor and after i asked my mom if it was painful and she said yes. I knew about periods for a long time and just did more research when i had it the first time.
Does tampon hurt? Im scared to use it! 😢
They do not hurt
But pads are always a good option
so it all really depends. if you don’t position the tampon correctly or put it up far enough it may be uncomfortable when you sit or stand back up or lay down. but it all different for different people. my first time using tampons was very scary and uncomfortable having something there but after a while i got used to it and now i barely feel that it’s there. also i dont recommend tampons for heavy bleeding as if you dont have the right one it can bleed through your underwear/pants. and if you never want to try tampons that’s also ok! everyone has their own preference 🥰
It should not if you put it in the right way, you might just feel it or have a slight discomfort
It shouldn’t if you put it in properly, but it also shouldn’t hurt when removing it. If it hurts when you remove it, it hasn’t soaked up what it needs to.
In my school they taught us this in 5th and 4th grade, and I'm very grateful for that.
They should teach that at school! I need that im freaking out cause i didn't know how to use those till i saw your videos
I started my period this year and since it’s summer and we will be swimming, o decided to use tampons. I spent hours looking at videos like this to tech me how and help me feel less scared. This video helped the most!!! ❤
I’m still so scared to, I don’t wanna mess up
my mom always told me that period products only last 2-3 hours. especially tampons.
that girl has more drip than meeee 😭😭🙌
My mom was super religious, though she admitted of trying tampons in the past, she still thought that her negative experience was enough to not allow her own daughters to try different menstruation products that might work for them, and even went as far as trying to reinforce the myth that tampons make you lose your virginity. At a certain point when I was a teenager, I got sick and tired of missing out on fun summer activities just because I was on my period, so I went to the store and bought my first tampons. I have to admit, I had absolutely no idea that a vagina was not the same as the urethra, so I kept trying to shove it up my pee hole and just gave up. Because of religious fear mongering, it took me a while to get the courage to just put my hand down there and feel around. I genuinely was raised to believe that my genitals were sinful and dirty. Eventually I figured it out, and for most of my young adult life, tampons were my go-to period product. All this is to say, I wish I had women in my life back then who didn't make it seem like feminine hygiene was taboo or something to be ashamed of. I'm glad it has become more of an open topic over the years. Please don't be afraid to get familiar with your own body!
We need this in schools for young girls
Thanks for the advice and the tips on tampons ❤❤❤❤
Yessss!!❤❤❤
TYSM for this I’m gonna try it right now I need to know ❤
OMG thank God ur a good teacher lmao bc it's been 4 years and no one still taught me how to do it , so thankyou
4 to 6 hours. Every time you pee really.
This is so wonderful!! (TIM warning lol) when I first used a tampon I cried for over an hour because I almost broke my hymen, I hope periods are more normalized so other girls can understand their anatomy BEFORE using a tampon
Change every 3-4 hours!
if you guys are having a hard time understanding the 45 degree angle thing, or having trouble getting a tampon in right. when you’re sitting on the toilet to put one in (or over the sink some people have to get a little closer that’s fine) aim the tampon more towards your butt when you’re putting it in, it goes a lot easier.
I miss going to that class because I was actually interested 😂❤
😊❤
I have never used a tampon, but I feel like it would hurt pulling it out
Woman with braids is beautiful!
Where did you get the shorts??❤
Tysm
Her:“It’s like a cotton ball!”
Me: *yea I’m sure you recognize that*
Thanks
I was bleeding in class but during a hygiene lesson
❤❤
They seriously should teach this in atleast 5th grade because the only reason i knew what a period was, was because my online friend explained it to me when i was in 4th grade-
Change " at least" no at max
I still don't understand and I'm still scared to try 😭
I’m scared the strings ganna brake
I am 25 and a half years old and I have never used a tampon in my life. I am terrified! 😅 but I might need to use one this Sunday oh my.
I can see her as the weird hippie aunt teaching the 8yo to do this.
Boys: How does that fit in there...
Girls: Logic.
I would definitely buy your products but I don’t live in America so I can’t access it 😭
At my school they didn't teach us how to use tampons because apparently it was too Innopropriate 😢😢😢 I LOVE what your doing❤❤❤
Damn i need this i keep accidentally putting it in at an angle and its hella uncomfortable 😭
I wish I saw this video before I started using them.
I like how all of my teachers are girls😂
Do you take it out straight away
no after aboht 6 hours or so
If you did that, it wouldn’t absorb anything because your flow doesn’t just sit there; it trickles down. So wait a few hours and then take it out!
@@safiyahchoudhury You can get infections that way it's best to only leave it in for 4-5 hours
@@CocetteBoba yh probably .Only wear them when swimming and stuff
@heaalerss. most women wear them regularly, but if you're still in ur first 3 years, I wouldn't recommend them
I'm 26 and still confused with this applicators. Were im from you can mostly buy the ones without applicator and so I've just learned to use this kind of tampons.
Im so scared to put mine in right now, ik its stupid but ots my first time and im a bit anxious lol
I want to use tampons, but I’m just scared. I’m gonna leave it in for too long.
Boys watching this be like:what is this what’s a period MOM!
My thing is I had a babt back in September and haven't been able to put tampons on not sure what to do and what tampon to use
The first time I used one it got stuck and have been afraid ever since
My fear is if it gets stuck and uou pull only the string and the other part gets stuck up there but I am scared to put it in also.I feel like it vould hurt
Can you show the difference between an average tampon and an august tampon?
Luv u!
You can see it on their channel
I am scared for when I get mine like it would hurt I feel like
how about with no applicator
i mean u kinda just shove it up there
Currently on my period. I don't use tampons, I was told it hurts to put in. Is this true?
No unless your doing something wrong but just try to stay calm and when you insert it put it toward you tummy hope this help❤
sometimes it does hurt if ur not use to it
@@ball_cheese_soup yea I forgot to add that😅
Can someone please reply im 12 years old and i never had my peiord but i saw a little blood but now there is no blood but i have brown discharge??? Pleaseee tell me what happening
Omg I had kinda the same thing happen to me a few days ago but when you have brown discharge it usually happens right before you get your period or after hope this helps a bit🩷
Yeah and also my advice (in my head) is for the first few time when you get your period stick with pads and then go tampons. I am still deathly afraid of tampons and I feel queasy thinking about it but whatever will work for you do it ❤
@@AddiLovesChrist thanksss
@@Lila00871 omgg okkk thank youuu
The brown discharge might be dried blood, depending on the consistency! It’s pretty normal for your period to be really light, just a few drops, the first month or two. Don’t panic!
No but I have no idea where to put it but I know how thanks to tutorials lol
I used this for the first time today. I’m just scared of the applicator 😭
Omg same
Lol I'm terrified of using tampons...
I have tamponophobia😭🙏
Do u sell these in idaho also do u have ones for people with heavy flows
Why are you not donating to schools ?
I’m scared to use them
I used them once and it hurt so bad
maybe i’m just dumb but I never understand people when they say something like "put it in the uterus….." I was always like " but where tf is the uterus 😭" so now I know where to put it but I’m scared that it would goes somewhere like disappeared in a mystery place idk it’s really scared me 😭
Does it hurt to put them in/take them out?
So…bit of a weird question for the girlies…no matter how many times I use a tampon I end up putting it in wrong and I can feel it inside me and it hurts. I know I’m angling it correctly and do it exactly like the tutorials. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Can someone help me because every time I try, it hurts
My mom says that tampons are bad for me so u cant use them and i old enough that i should be aliyd to use them and i even asked here to and she keeps saying noooooo aaaaaaahh 😠 😡.
Ther is two subs
No like if i dance around like crazy and workout won't they come out like whenever i feel like my pants are coming up...I would just fix it and can't u feel the thread at all? Like isn't that suppose 5o hurt?? 😭 (Guy's I'm really young and i never tried tampons..I wanna try them cause pads always stain my clothes but I'm so scared... I'm above 10 but below 13 so 😭👍🏻)
I'm still confused of where tf I'm suppose to put it
It goes in the vagina there is two wholes down there one we’re your pee comes out of and one we’re the blood comes out of (the uterus) it goes in the farthest whole down not the booty whole hope this helps
Im born in August 😂
If u go to pee do u need to take it out then?
I probably won't use a tampon cause idk what hole the blood comes out of. And ill probably be to scared to do it😅
just wait till you’re comfortable when you do get ur period. i waited like 4 years to try one and i didn’t like it. you can only put it in one hole just don’t stick it up ur butt
Damn, you have no idea how many young girls this will help.
That wall of tampons tho 💀
What year is this is it graed 6
Hi I'm sorry but I need help with something. I really want to try tampons because I do sports and I want a more comfortable experience but today and yesterday I tried tampons for the first time and mine just like wouldn't go up. I made sure to find the right hole, it just wouldn't go can u please help please or just anyone
I am on my period right now
