Tampon adventures

Okay, so yesterday i got adventurous and decided to check out what tampons are like (since i'm at my sister's house and can use hers without spending money, teehee). It took a while to completely figure out, as can be expected, and how it felt afterwords was also a little expected, but i'm a bit concerned...

It felt a little pinchy around the opening for a while, and there was a little dull pain on the inside that grew to become mild to moderate cramps (when before i put it in- i had none). I couldn't stand having it in me for more than 2 hours and took a while of tugging before i finally got it out. It wasn't really the cramping that made me take it out, more like a gut feeling of repulsion of what was inside me...

While the yuck that i felt in that 2 hours was not altogether frightning for an experience with tampons for the first time (I was almost expecting half of it), I'm concerned as to how my body will react when i get a Divacup. I'm worried that my body will reject it just as fast as it did the tampon (though i know the diva is so incredibly healthier than tampons).

I'm also thinking that maybe since I've read so much on how tampons are so horribly bad that my body just rejected it because of what I read. -I've vowed to not use tampons ever again and i'm waiting patiently for when i can afford a diva cup-

So before i go repeating myself in a tired stupor, what thinks ye, ladies? Am i scaring myself away from tampons and do i have reason to fear my body's rejecting stuff getting shoved up there?

the tampon hurt you because you weren't actually on your period and were therefor much drier than you would be. You probably didn't insert it high enough into the vagina - if you were too push it in with your finger and not an applicator - it would be high enough to be able to insert your entire finger. I was difficult to pull out because of the cotton sticking too the inside of your vagina - because of not having enough moisture. This can happen if you use the wrong level of tampon as well at varying times of your cycle. Example - if your flow from your period was very light and you tried to use a super plus tampon - it would be quite uncomfortable, especially too remove it.

i was on my period- 2nd day, rather heavy flow- it just didn't really agree with me, i suppose- but all that sounds like decently good reasons :P
