Why do i experience discomfort when removing my tampon?

why?! i recently started using them and it hurts 2 take them out! why is this?
Answer:
If they are not very full (moist with plenty of blood) it can be quite painful, yes. Sometimes it can even be uncomfortable when there is a good bit of blood on it.

Hopefully it isn't too painful for you. If you just started using them, I suggest (personally) that you keep trying. If they continue to be too painful, maybe you shouldn't wear them anymore... but I LOVE them so much better than pads.

I hope it works out for you! :-}

You could be using too high of an absorbancy. If you use a super absorbancy tampon on a normal or light day, it can hurt a bit when you take it out. Same thing with using a normal absorbancy on a light day.

You are using too high of an absorbency for your flow. Either that or not leaving them in long enough. If they are dry it hurts to remove them.

There are two possibilities: First, you're changing too often or second you're using an absorbency that's too great for your flow level.

If you're changing every 4 hours (as an example) then maybe you should wait for 5 or 6 hours, or change to a lower absorbency rating (Juniors or Slims if you're using Regulars).

If you're using Supers or Regulars, try moving down to a lower absorbency (Juniors, for example).

b/c they strip your vagina of all moisture including the natural moisture that would allow things to slide out easier...try a menstrual cup...it captures the blood without drying out the vagina...

I've had that once. Maybe you were a bit too rough putting it in one time and you've kind of bruised your vagina? I was on a plane one time and I had to put a tampon in and just as I was inserting it there was a big patch of turbulance and for the rest of my period it really hurt. If you're still feeling pain next time you have your period, go to the doctor.
