i finally did it! (tampons)

I finally did it. after so long of struggling with tampons and them hurting to insert or to remove or hurting for literally any reason, i finally got it down! for anyone else struggling out there, i wish i had some advice for you. but the only thing i can say is that i think i just ended up trying so many times that i ended up loosening up down there. i think i can definitively say what was "wrong" with me, and it's just that my hymen (?) was a bit too small so it was just a matter of slowly expanding it over time that finally allows me to wear tampons now. that was really the only thing holding me back. so far, i havent tried supers because my mom took all of mine but regulars seem to work just fine. it's also a lifesaver because i feel so much cleaner than when i would wear pads, and now ill be able to swim on my period and now ill be able to actually dry off after showering without getting blood all over the towel! yippee!
