If you’re just starting out with tampons or have been using them for a while, here’s a guide to help you navigate how to insert a tampon, whether it has an applicator or not.
Inserting a tampon can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. First, find a comfortable position. OB-GYN Dr. Jamie Miller recommends either standing or sitting with your knees about hip-width apart. Then, use your non-dominant hand to gently separate your labia and with your dominant hand, guide the tip of the tampon into the vagina. Dr. Miller also advises inserting the tampon at a slight angle—neither straight up nor down. After that, gently push the plunger of the applicator until it is flush with the applicator itself, leaving only the string outside.
It’s important to change your tampon every four to six hours and remember to never flush it down the toilet. Wrap the used tampon in toilet paper or place it back in its wrapper before disposing of it in the trash. As for the applicator, it should also be thrown away in the garbage. While some brands advertise biodegradability, it’s safer to dispose of them properly.
