Funny I didnt have too much of a problem putting the tampon in for the first time, but completely freaked out when I had to take it out. I guess I had expected it to slide right on out, not realizing it expands inside. I was convinced it was "stuck" and if I gave it a good yank that I was going to pull my organs out along with it or something. Thankfully my mom helped talk me through it ! I was so effing scared at the time though!
