As a 54 year old, and a mother of daughters, I agree with this. I borrowed my moms tampons before I needed them, and practiced. I never wore a pad, it felt too much like a diaper.

I got both of my daughters pads and tampons. One of my daughters only ever used/uses tampons, the other used pads for a year or two before she asked for tampons as well.

OP here. Please don't laugh at me, but I was afraid to do this and come across illegal kiddie p-n. Any recommendations on proper search terms to avoid such a thing.

“How to put in a tampon”

First PP. I found videos on YouTube that showed an adult woman (a physician, I believe) that were very professionally done. Nothing even remotely porn-y. Think… clinical.
