Little problem about "." s

[STRM]

I've experienced tampons leaking and being rejected either because I didn't insert them far enough or because I was moving around too much that they just started to work their way out. Also, if you leave the tampon in for too long you may leak onto the string, which can get kind of gross. 

On the plus side, once they get to that point you don't feel them tugging on the way out. *shudder* I tried using one without an applicator once. I might as well have been trying to shove it up my clenched backside. Applicators slide in more easily, you can see where the tampon's aimed, and they go deeper than most fingers with more efficiency. And you don't need to get anything on your fingers. TMI: Although that's much more likely to happen if you wiggle the applicator around more than a little, and also if you're inexperienced. I'm so glad I brought a spare in the first time I used one.

Something I've found useful on the odd occasion it's sitting too low is to press on the whole area like I'm trying to push up through the pelvic bowl. This pushes the tampon in some, and when the pressure's released it stays where it is.
