I hate wearing pads! The only reason that I am wearing them on my period now is because I am on pelvic rest.

did she tell you that you can't? honestly i think it is a personal choice that is TOTALLY up to you. i mean i know mothers worry, but still it's your comfort and i always hated wearing pads in public, i was and sometime still am very self-concious about it. my best friend's mom wouldn't let her use tampons and i thought that was so ridiculous. anyways, if she does have a problem did she ever tell you why? if not, ask her. and then if it's never come up just ask her if she ever used them or when she first startedto use them. or try some of the suggestions the other people gave, like just leaving one out and saying oops that's mine when she finds it. just make sure you are being responsible when you use them. i know they're more comfortable, but make sure you alternate them with pads, like at night, or just around the house, to lessen your chances of ever getting TSS, not to say that you WILL get it just because you use them, but to be a little more safe. and explain to her that you are being responsible, well, that's if you are, and since you're worried about telling her i think you'll be honest about that also. and like everyone said, honesty is the best policy.

Tampax is the commercial name for a brand of tampon.  Tampons are cylinder-shaped object made of cotton and inserted into a womans vagina to collect the menstrual flow so that she will not be encumbered by bulky napkins between her legs.

a pantyliner...protects on very very light days, sometimes Chic's use them whenever they are not even on a period, depends on how they feel about a lot of moisture in the vaginal area:)  the maxi-pad is a pad...it protects during the period:)  Didn't you learn this in health class?

I will try to explain this the best i can. With a tampon you should seriously get one with an applicator and read the directions on the box. Take the applicator, insert it into the vagina and oush out the tampon into your canal. Then if you can feel it youve done it wrong so you can either start over with a new tampon or try to adjust it with either your finger (clean of course) or the applicator. Then dispose of the applicator. Try going to www.beinggirl.com and looking for tampon tips.

I had the same problem when I first used tampon. I used to apply pads before that.First 2/3 times of using Tampons were quite uncomfortable for me. The trick is you have to insert the 1st part of the tampon into your vagina until the wavy part of the stick. Then you hold the wavy part of the tampon with one hand and press the 2nd part ( which remains outside the vagina ). You may find that its not being inserted , you then press it with left-right and upward pressure. Once it has reached to the first part, you pull out both the parts. one string will be hanging from your vagina which is to pull out the tampon when you need to change.\n\nYou don't have to change the tampon  when you go to toilet. The tampon remains inside your vagina. So you can loo without changing it. You have to change tampon in every 4 hours. \n\nIts great for working girls. You can wear tight cloths, swim with tampon. Its comfortable once you get used to it.

You can wear a pad and a tampon at the same time, there is nothing wrong with that.  An alternative is to wear a tampon and a pantiliner, which is smaller than a pad.\n\nSometimes tampons leak, even if you insert them correctly.  So if you don't wear something else with it just make sure to monitor how you are feeling 'down there.'

Tampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.\n\nOne way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself.  Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about.  This is something that is essential for any girl.  \n\nGet comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around.  It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works.  When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.\n\nNext time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect.  It is different, but it is not bad.  Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was.  Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice.  Just keep trying until you get it right.  When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.\n\nUsing a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment.  You will have to pick for yourself.\n\nWhich ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

NORMAL\n\nyes this is 100% normal, your periods are probably or probably used to be irregular, and this is normal\n\nnothing to worry about, this is just the way the female body works, and everyone's is different, if you wear tampons, just wear them until everything is clear, no big deal

Nothing wrong with using tampons, regardless of whether you're a virgin or not. They do not change the fact that you are a virgin, so yes virgins would use tampons, no problem.

I was at work, going to the bathroom, and you know when girls are on thier period, they try to hide tampons on their hip of their skirt. \n\nWell, I have lost some weight recently, and it fell out.....\n\nI kept walking.....\n\nI heard a voice "Exuse me ma'am, you dropped this".\n\nA really hot sexy guy passed me my tampon.....I ran like hell.  \n\nLaugh at my pain.
