Oh and for any young ladies, or just any ladies that are concerned about using tampons, here's a few tips ( I had trouble when i started to use them as well) First of all, never force yourself to do anything you're not comfortable with! There are many women who prefer not to use them and they are just fine! Secondly, before inserting a tampon, read the directions on the back of the tampon box, and/or if you're comfortable with it, ask a family member or friend who knows about tampon use to do some further explaining. Third, the first insertion of a tampon can be nerve racking for some..I know! But try your best to relax. When you're able to relax, your vaginal muscles also relax, making it easier to insert. Also, everyone is different and requires different sizes of tampons, I myself had to start off with the extra thin sized ones in order to stay comfortable. This may be the case for you, but also it may not, like I said, everyone is built differently! And last but not least, if you're having difficulties with the process or insertion of a tampon, sometimes it's ok and easier to have a close family member or friend help you out...I know it might be weird and too close for comfort, but sometimes us ladies just need a little extra help with things at first, nothing wrong with that! Infact, my mom helped me out with my first one. After that, I quickly got the hang of it. And you probably will too. Just make sure to always remember to change the tampon you are wearing out, I think the most common recommendation is about 4-6 hours for the maximum time each tampon should be used, there should be more information about this on the tampon box. If you forget, it usually isn't a huge deal. Just try to change it out as soon as you remember to prevent things like leaks and bacteria build up, which can cause a health issue called toxic shock syndrome. Sometimes girls will set an alarm or reminder so they are sure not to forget about it, it works great! Best of luck to all of you, I'm sending positive vibes all your way! ?~~~?

Actually birth control stops a period. It depends on the person. And what kind of birth control. The shot made my period stop for almost a year. I just recently got my period back.

Hey I am 14 and I go through very heavy periods what can I do to stop them??

Actually... There is a way to stop your period. Only it's really not healthy and I wouldn't try it out. Just fast for a really long time and become too skinny. Your period will stop. PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS OUT!
