How to Insert a Tampon: Step-by-Step Guide for Comfort and Safety

Correct tampon insertion steps:

1. Wash hands thoroughly.
2. Remove tampon from wrapper.
3. Hold with string end away from you.
4. Gently spread labia; insert tampon into vagina.
5. Push until only string is visible.
6. Ensure string hangs outside for removal.

If difficult, relax, try “C-fold” or “7-fold,” or use an applicator. Choose absorbency matching flow—too high causes dryness, too low leaks. Remove if painful; consult doctor if problems persist.
