The first time I used a tampon my mother sent me in to the bathroom to try it out. I was so scared I couldnt believe THAT THING could fit in me. When I came out I asked my mom why it hurt to sit down. I thought the applicator was supposed to stay in too! No wonder it hurt. We still giggle about it to this day!
