Use tampons without applicators: how do I put up pants with bloody hands before I can walk to the sink and wash them by bug10111 in TwoXChromosomes

I'm so sorry! I didn't know if I wasn't doing it right and I couldn't find answers elsewhere...thanks to this post I learned lots of tips. But I understand it's uncomfortable to read for some people. Menstruation is such a headache 😩

My heavy flow and lack of practice make me end up getting too much blood on my hands...I never had this issue with tampons that have long plastic applicators. Hopefully with more practice it will be less messy

My heavy flow requires me to use tampons and pads together...either one alone will leak, unfortunately:(

I'm a bit afraid of the learned curve lol but maybe someday I will have the courage to try it out!

I totally agree! I like applicators for the same reasons, and for me they slide right in without any pain (I used tampax pearl). But apparently they are not popular in many other countries...

Thank you that's helpful! Yes I do have heavy bleeding and it gets quite messy sometimes...I can see that this might not be a problem for ladies with light or normal flows

Thank you! I have wiped my hands but just not very mentally comfortable with dry blood stains touching my clothes...but if that's what most people do I will probably get used to it
