You’ve probably been using tampons for as long as you can remember. After having a baby or two, “supersized” is how you take your coffee and your tampons. Fast-forward a few years, and you are sleeping through the night again. Yay! OK, let’s be honest — you are in bed before the kids these days. And your once-little cherub is now a tween and you are shopping for tampons for the both of you. Weird. Suddenly, you are questioning whether or not you are guiding her down the right path to Tampon Town. Should she be using “slim” or “sporty” (she does like sports), or maybe “regular” is a better choice?
If you are in need of a tampon tutorial to refresh your knowledge, Madge the Vag has got you covered. In this episode, Madge sits down with OB-GYN Dr. Ashley Bartalot to make tampons less intimidating. Psst: Tampon sizes are based on absorbency (how much fluid they can hold), not the size of your vag or how much you like sports. You can start your girl with the lowest absorbency and work your way up from there. You’re welcome.
When puberty hits, there will be so many tween and teen questions headed your way. Can a tampon get lost? How do you know if you put it in right? How long can you wear a tampon for? You’re pretty sure it’s four to six hours, but what if you’re wrong? So much pressure.
Madge the Vag Teen Edition is here for you and your gal to watch solo or together. It’s rated PG, vetted by an OB and it’s totally free! And for even more tampon tips, check out: How to Insert a Tampon Properly. If you have more questions, email Madge at [email protected] and check back for more Madge the Vag: Teen Edition videos. Because parenting is hard enough and all us vaginas need to stick together. Not like that — you know what we mean. :)
