Hi,
I'm 13 and I used a tampon for the first time today, but when I tried to take the tampon out it hurt a LOT. I checked and there was a band of pink skin that was wrapped around it, and the tampon was stuck around this band. It hurt/felt weird (in a bad way) when I tried to get it off with my fingers, but eventually I got it off. I'm on some sports teams and the girls usually wear leggings, so I don't want to wear a pad because whenever I do wear them with leggings, the shape and lining of it is extremely obvious and embarrassing. I want to wear a tampon again but I don't want it to get stuck while I'm trying to change it in school.
how do you get it off this is happening to me too like right now!
Hey, me and my friend have both just experienced this for the first time and we have been using tampons year now. This doesn’t normally happen, you’re just very unlucky this happened on your first go. Keep using tampons and stay on that sports team chick!!xx
