Theres a leaflet in the box lynneylou to show you how to ....
just make sure you change them often, once youve done one youl be ok, just get normal ones 1st , not extra...lol

Ha, ha Patricia. At 17 years old and very innocent I bought a box of 'extra' tampax for my very first try with tampons (didn't really know then that they came in different sizes).

Don't know how, but I managed to use them - but what a struggle it was.

Lynneylou - one tip is to be totally relaxed about it, as Patricia says very good instructions are in the box and you can't go wrong.

Have a lovely holiday.

lynneylou go to your docs and he will give you some tablets. you take them every morning and night and they delay your periods. as soon as you stop takin them your periods start again and your body goes abck to normal. thats what i used to use when going away

have you thought of just getting some tablets from your gp to stop your period. perfectly safe to use. called somethig like noristherone(?)

works a treat and no bloating for your beach outfits!

If you are on the pill, you can carry on taking them without the 7 day gap in between, i usually find this works

lynneylou, go to your GP and ask for Norethisterone. You start taking it a week before your period is due and continue with them until you're ready for it (there's a limit to the tablets, obviously).

You won't have the worry or anxiety that comes with using tampons for the first time that way. Try those another time. Have a lovely holiday. :)
