Make sure your daughter understands the importance of removing tampons every four to six hours and does not leave a tampon in between periods. If you or your daughter is very uncomfortable talking about this issue, try exploring, a resource created by Tampax that has instructional videos on how to insert tampons. Tell her about proper disposal (either flushing the tampon or wrapping it in toilet paper and throwing it away). Either way, you want to instruct her on how to remove the tampon by gently pulling down on the string. She should now see the string hanging from the opening, and the tampon is in place.Īsk her if she would like to remove the tampon now and try another one or would like to wait until later. Instruct your daughter to push the smaller tube of the applicator through the outer tube (the way you showed her in step three) to release the tampon into her body. Instruct her to point the tampon at her lower back and to slide the applicator slowly and gently into her vagina until her fingers reach the opening. Holding the applicator between her middle finger and her thumb, she now places the tip of the tampon at the opening of her vagina. Most girls like to sit on the toilet with their knees apart, but others prefer to stand with one foot on the toilet seat. Tell her to relax (as much as possible-this is a stressful "first" for most girls). There is usually a ridge at this point on the applicator. She should unwrap the tampon and grip the applicator in the middle, where the top and bottom tubes meet. Tell her to first wash her hands and then sit down as though she were going to use the toilet. Give her the package insert and coach her from outside the bathroom.
