Does anyone find when using tampons that they are sometime hard to get up if you get what I mean? This has happened to me a few times and when they wouldn't go in I have to use sanatary towels which I don't really like. Can I do anything that might help stop this from happening?

I've never got the hang of them. :eek2:
I stick to plain old regular tampax depending on my flow.
Same here :yes: I still do.
i think you're probably pushing the tampax up at the wrong angle, probably going up when you're supposed to go towards your back. have a look at the instructions for a diagram.
also when this happens to me (it feels like the tampax is pushing against my cervix) i pull the apllicator out and push the tampax in with my finger and its fine then. perhaps you should think about using non-applicator ones. i used them for the first time the other week because thats all i could buy in the toilets and they were actually alot easier to put in than i had thought.
And for once I don't mean in a pervy way, just an amusing way.
Mind you, if you ever need help!
