I can't believe a mom can't teacher her child how to put a tampon in. FFS[/quote]

Ok, not the PP, but how would you suggest teaching your daughter to put a tampon in - beyond describing the process, watching video tutorials, and looking at pictures/diagrams?  Let's hear your suggestions since you seem to be extremely smug and sanctimonious in insisting any girl should be able to use tampons.  Thanks.[/quote]

It’s already been suggested. You take her tou the gynecologist or her care giver. As a former public health nurse in sexual health, I’ve actually helped girls with this.

I’m sorry, but hygiene is an important skill, and menstruation lasts a long time in a woman’s life. We should be so far par this “delicate condition” mentality, it confuses me when a girl has to sit out because, for whatever reason, the available tools are not in her grasp (tampons, cups, the pill).

I’ll be honest, I suspect most of the girls that “won’t” or “can’t”use  tampons come from families where the word period and /or mentruation is still spoken in hushed tones, or given some cutsie name and shrouded in guilt and shame. That, or it’s the families where the mother knows so little about her own body that she believes you can lose a tampon, and that wearing a tampon has nothing to do with virginity. [/quote]
