Why does my tampon slide out with the applicator?

* Probably the tampon is still too dry as it hasn’t absorbed enough fluids. Leave it in for a bit longer (never longer than eight hours though) and then change it for one with a lower absorbency level. * You’re too tensed. It’s the same with removing as with inserting: the more relaxed you are, the easier it becomes.

Why won’t my tampon applicator go in?

The main issue that hinders tampon insertion for most is the muscles in the vagina tensing up and stopping anything from passing through. If you’ve tried many times to insert a tampon to no avail, and no matter how much you try to relax it won’t happen, you may have something called vaginismus.
