I'm not sure why I have such a fear of using a tampon.
I'm scared of inserting one, and I'm scared of the idea of having something IN THERE for hours.
But, seeing as tomorrow's the 4th, I'm going in the river.
The river is my thing, and I've been out plenty of times with a pad and shorts on all day. It's very annoying.
I've tried putting one in before in the cabin of a boat once, a few years back... I was caught up and forgot I was close to starting my period.
I suppose I tensed up because my mother was there watching me, but it hurt before I even got the tip in.
I would love to get over this fear of mine, and any advice would help.
I don't believe it would hurt anymore, I'm just too scared.
