I was getting worried that I might have my period during the upcoming KL.
I wasn’t looking forward to that because having to find a toilet and change pads would be a huge hassle. Maybe it was time for me to try using tampons instead of pads.
I decided get the Tampax brand because they were having a sale at Fair price. 1 box for $12+ and 2 boxes for 16+. Each box contains 18 tampons with plastic applicators for easier insertion.
Having never used tampons before made me a little bit nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Will it hurt? How is the plastic applicators any different? Toxic shock syndrome?? O.o
Ended up reading these two useful links which strengthened my resolve to try.
1) http://youngwomenshealth.org/2012/09/27/tampons/
2) https://tampax.com/en-us/tips-and-advice/my-first-tampon/how-to-insert-a-tampon
However, it was very nerve-racking. I could hardly stay calm which didn’t help because I could only insert 1/4 of the tampon.
In the end, I gave up after 5 tries.
Maybe, I’ll get it right the next time.
