OB tampons, for me, are just as easy to put in as applicator ones.

The tampon sort of protects your finger as you put it in, as the tampon is exposed and absorbs flow as you put it in.

I find them just as comfy as other tampons.

I just prefer an applicator, that's all.

Oh...that sucks. I would wear a pad in the morning before you go to school. Bring a tampon, though. Whenever you get a chance to check your pad, if it is bloody, I would put the tampon in, and remove the pad. Sometimes girls/women like to wear a pad for backup, though.

I use OB tampons. They're my favorite. But, I think for your first time, you should use a regular tampon with an applicator. Just until you get the hang of using tamps. Then when your comfortable, you can switch if you want to.

cutiepie2753: I practiced using a tampon with an applicator, but I didn't like the applicator, so I took it off. I think it is all a personal choice.

woahhhh i just looked up OB cause ive never seen or heard of them..
That's crazy (in a good way)

but i think i'll stick with what i use...




-- For some girls its easier to use applicators. .i think it is..

but thats just me.


and if you decide to use regular tampons, get the plastic applicators.

its really just about what ends up working best for you. i would suggest you try both applicator and the ob kind. i don't think that there is any reason you SHOULD use applicator tampons first, just that most girls do. basically, try both:)

Personally, I would use them. I practice with tampons every once in a while, and I have found that I don't like applicators. O. B. tampons don't have applicators.

-- At first they are kinda hard to put in.

-- I started with a normal one first and it made it easier.

-- Kinda but you're supposed to wash your hand after the bathroom anyways.

-- They're wayyyy comfier.

-- They're easier to hide like at school cuz they're smaller. I keep one in the side of my bra.
