How to Insert a Real Tampon
- 1). Wash and dry your hands. Remove the tampon wrapper and throw it away. Keep the tampon clean and dry.
- 2). Get into a comfortable position. Sit on the toilet with your legs apart or stand with one foot up on the toilet.
- 3). Grip the tampon on the base of the upper part of the applicator with your thumb and middle finger. Place your index finger underneath the bottom part of the applicator.
- 4). Relax your thigh muscles completely and insert the tampon. Put the top part of the tampon and applicator into your vagina and push the bottom part of the applicator with your index finger completely into the upper part of the applicator. Remove both parts of the applicator and let the string hang down between your legs.
- 5). Wash and dry your hands again. Remove the tampon in four to six hours and replace it with a new one.
