I've decided to help him with his problem.
You may feel nervous about using a tampon for the first time. It is normal to feel nervous, especially if you have any unanswered questions about tampons. Hopefully, this guide will answer your questions, address your worries, and make your first experience with tampons a positive one! Myth or Fact? There are many myths about tampons. Test your knowledge to see how much you really know about them! What are tampons and how do they work? Tampons, like pads, are products used to absorb your menstrual flow. They are made of soft cotton pressed together to form a cylinder-like shape, so that they can be easily inserted into the opening of the vagina. A tampon absorbs your menstrual flow, or blood, before it has a chance to leave the body. Tampons come in all different sizes and absorbencies and can be purchased at most convenience stores or supermarkets. How do you insert a tampon? You may be worried and nervous about using your first tampon. Talk to your mom or a friend who has used tampons. It is important to first learn how to use a tampon and then, just relax! The more you relax, the easier the insertion will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, making insertion even harder. For your first time, you may want to try using a tampon when your menstrual flow is heavy; this should allow the tampon to glide in more easily. Choose the smallest size tampon for the first time. By following these simple guidelines, and those that come with your package of tampons, your first experience with tampons should be easy. Sit or stand in a comfortable position. Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down. After you find a position that is most comfortable for you, hold the tampon with the fingers that you write with. Hold the middle of the tampon, at the spot where the smaller, inner tube inserts into the larger, outer tube. Make sure the string is visible and pointing away from your body. With your other hand, open the labia (the folds of skin around the vaginal opening) and position the tampon in the vaginal opening. Gently push the tampon into the opening, aiming for the small of your back. Stop when your fingers touch your body and the applicator, or outer tube, is completely inside the vagina. Once the applicator or outer tube is inside of you, use your index finger to push the inner tube (the tube where the removal string is connected) through the outer tube. Once the inner tube is all the way in, use your thumb and middle finger to remove the applicator or outer tube. Make sure that the string hangs outside of the vaginal opening. Later, in order to remove a tampon, just pull downward on the removal string. If the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted the tampon incorrectly or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. If this occurs, just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon. Remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, relax and try again! I sincerely hopes this helps you. I've lived with women, I've seen how difficult this can be. I think what's important is you stay strong. Maybe you could join a support group for when you're feely moody and bloated. Just try not to take it out on me, or anyone else in the future. Thanks! |

Thanks for the advice Repug, I would try it but I dont have a vagina like yourself. I too would like to help you with your problem, I hope this helps.........
HOW DO I PROTECT OTHERS FROM MY HIV/AIDS The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases is to abstain from sexual intercourse, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and you know is uninfected. For persons whose sexual behaviors place them at risk for STDs, correct and consistent use of the male latex condom can reduce the risk of STD transmission. However, no protective method is 100 percent effective, and condom use cannot guarantee absolute protection against any STD. If you are allergic to latex, you can use polyurethane (a type of plastic) condoms. If male condoms are not available, use female condoms. Condoms lubricated with spermicides are no more effective than other lubricated condoms in protecting against the transmission of HIV and other STDs. In order to achieve the protective effect of condoms, they must be used correctly and consistently. Incorrect use can lead to condom slippage or breakage, thus diminishing their protective effect. Inconsistent use, e.g., failure to use condoms with every act of intercourse, can lead to STD transmission because transmission can occur with a single act of intercourse. For oral sex, use protection such as a condom, dental dam (a square piece of latex used by dentists), or plastic food wrap. Do not reuse these items. Keep sex toys for your own use only and don’t use someone else’s sex toys. Don’t share drug needles or drug works. In many places there are needle exchange programs. Use them. Better yet, seek help if you inject drugs.You can fight HIV much better if you don’t have a drug habit. Tell people you’ve had sex with that you have HIV. This will not be easy, but it will help them get the help they need. Your local public health department may help you find these people and tell them they have been exposed to HIV. If they have HIV, this may help them get care and avoid spreading HIV to others. If a woman you had sex with is pregnant, even if you are not the father, it is very important that you tell her you have HIV. If she has HIV, she needs to get early medical care for her own health and to protect her baby. Don’t donate blood, plasma, or organs. Keep razors or toothbrushes for your own use only and don’t use someone else’s razor or toothbrush. HIV can be spread through fresh blood on such items. Family Planning and Pregnancy IS THERE ANY SPECIAL ADVICE FOR WOMEN WITH HIV? Yes. If you are a woman with HIV, your doctor should check you for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and perform a Pap test at least once a year. Women with HIV are more likely to have abnormal Pap tests. If your Pap test is abnormal, your doctor may need to repeat it or do other tests. If you have had an abnormal Pap test in the past, tell your doctor. If you are thinking about either avoiding pregnancy or becoming pregnant, talk with your doctor about important issues such as: What birth control methods are best for me? Will HIV cause problems for me during pregnancy or delivery? Will my baby have HIV? Will treatment for my HIV infection cause problems for my baby? If I am pregnant and want an abortion, where can I go for it? What if they won’t help me because I have HIV? If I choose to get pregnant, what medical and community programs and support groups can help me and my baby? What if I become pregnant? If you become pregnant, talk to your doctor right away about medical care for you and your baby. You also need to plan for your child’s future in case you get sick. Your HIV treatment will not change very much from what it was before you became pregnant. You should have a Pap test and tests for STDs during your pregnancy. Your doctor will order tests and suggest medicines for you to take. Talk with him or her about all the pros and cons of taking medicine while you are pregnant. If you decide to have your baby, talk with your doctor about how you can prevent giving HIV to your baby. It is very important that you get good care early in your pregnancy. The chances of passing HIV to your baby before or during birth are about 1 in 4, or 25%, but treatment with zidovudine [zy-DAH-vue-deen], sometimes called ZDV, AZT, or Retrovir®*, has been shown togreatly lower this risk. Your doctor will want to have you on a drug treatment that includes ZDV. Although you are pregnant, you should still use condoms each time you have sex, to avoid catching other diseases and to avoid spreading HIV. Even if your partner already has HIV, he should still use condoms. After birth, your baby will need to be tested for HIV, even if you took ZDV and/or other drugs while you were pregnant. Your baby will need to take medicine to prevent HIV infection and PCP. Talk with your doctor about your baby’s special medical needs. Because HIV infection can be passed through breast milk, you should not breast-feed your baby. Where can I find help in fighting HIV? If you are living with HIV or AIDS, you need many kinds of support - medical, emotional, psychological, and, yes, financial. Your doctor, your local health and social services departments, your local AIDS service organization, and your local library can aid you in finding all kinds of help: answers to your questions about HIV and AIDS doctors, insurance, and help in making health care decisions food, housing, and transportation planning to meet financial and daily needs support groups for you and your loved ones home nursing care help in legal matters, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claims confidential help in applying for Social Security disability benefits You also can get information on these things from CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Español. Many people living with HIV feel better if they can talk with other people who also have HIV. Here are some ways to find others with HIV: Contact your local AIDS service organization. Look under "AIDS" or "Social Service Organizations" in the yellow pages of your telephone book. Contact a local hospital, church, or American Red Cross chapter for referrals. Read HIV newsletters or magazines. Join support groups or Internet forums. Volunteer to help others with HIV. Be an HIV educator or public speaker, or work on a newsletter. Attend social events to meet other people who have HIV. Thousands of people are living with HIV, and AIDS, today. Many are leading full, happy, and productive lives. You can too if you work with your doctor and others and take the steps outlined in this booklet to stay healthy. |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

You know I think this problem goes beyond menstrual cramping. I think you could use one of these Malice, to get rid of all that tension you're carrying around.

....shit....you got me malice. I can't compete with "pussy" and "dumb fucking retard"...so i'm going to have to concede on this one. You're obviously the more witty and intelligent one in this argument.
