Honestly, there's nowhere for it to go! The cervix, at the end of the vagina, only has a tiny opening to allow blood through. You can always pull it out by the string, or reach in and grab it with your fingers if the string breaks. Don't forget to remove all tampons by the end of your period, though! Just gently lift the string so it is out of the way. Alternatively, you can carefully tuck the string in, just so that it is out of the way when you pee. Tuck the string in shallowly, so that you can still feel it when you reach for it. You can start using tampons at any age, make sure to be comfortable first––you don't have to be over 18. Some girls skip using pads and go directly to using tampons, especially if they do sports like swimming or gymnastics. Contrary to one particularly unhelpful myth, using tampons does not make you "lose your virginity." Tampons might stretch the hymen (the thin membrane that usually stretches when you have sex), but the hymen should not tear. The hymen only partially covers the vaginal opening and is intended to stretch and bend. Even if your tampon use does stretch the membrane (which can happen during other activities, too, like frequent horse-riding), it doesn't mean you're not a virgin.  Another myth is that the hymen completely covers the vagina. Rest easy, your hymen does have an opening for tampon insertion and for your period to leave your body. The hymen normally will expand if you relax, but if you force a tampon through it while tense, your hymen may rupture. This can happen while doing sports, too. . Whether you're off to work or school or out playing sports, always have spare tampons in your bag. Especially when first starting your period, it might be helpful to pack a small makeup bag with tampons, pantyliners, wet wipes, and a spare pair of panties. That way, you don't have to worry about hopping out of bed early to change a tampon, or even risk Toxic Shock Syndrome, a rare but serious medical condition that happens when the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus gets into your bloodstream.
كوني واثقة أن التامبون لن يضل الطريق أو يعلق بداخلك. يمكنك أيضًا الذهاب للحمام بالتامبون. انت لستِ صغيرة علي التامبون. التامبون لا يفقدك عذريتك. تأكدي أن معك سدادات قطنية كافية في أي مكان تذهبي إليه. إذا كنت تنامين أكثر من ثمانِ ساعات، استخدمي فوطة صحية بدلًا  من التامبون.
