Comic Artist Opens Up About The Time She Wore Tampon For The First Time, And It’s Hard Not To Laugh
When you read any of the autobiographical comics by webcomic Kristie Lane or ‘Ristay’, it’s easy to see why she refers to herself as socially awkward. The most recent story she posted to Imgur is about the first time she wore a tampon, and trust us you won’t see the way it ends coming.
Lane’s comics are so wild they could be the stuff of fiction but she makes it clear that they are all true. “Everyones always asking for more embarrassing stories from my past so I don’t want to disappoint! So oh well here’s the moment of truth I guess,” and she did not disappoint. Scroll down below to read the latest cringe-worthy tale by Ristay!

Share on FacebookMe neither. I tried, and I was so annoyed, I had to take it off not even 5 minutes after. It was so irritating, both physically and mentally. Pads for life! (Until menopause at least ♥)

It was so uncomfortable and to make matters worse, I sneezed it out on accident! haha...my teacher wouldn't let me go to the restroom. I sat in class mortified, lol THANKFULLY no one knew!
I wanted to use tampons but I have two issues with it. First, they do not stay inside of me (no matter what's the size), they just slide right out and if they do stay in a bit, blood comes out. 2nd, I get cramps wearing tampon which I never get cramps when used pad. Now, I am going through menopause, ugh.

Yet another reason to never wear tampons. I tried a few times, but they are NOT comfortable.
Have a similar embarrassing story. I was like seventeen and my boyfriend slept over for the first time at my parents place. We had sex (which my parents didn't know we had yet) and we used a condom. And we knew that it's a big no-no to flush the condom down the toilet (it can get stuck and cause the toilet to overflow). So my boyfriend hid it in some toilet paper and put it in the bin. Flash forward five hours. We got up and my mum was sitting in the kitchen pointing to a condom on the floor. Apparently, my cat had found it in the trash, brought it out and tried to eat it. Needless to say, my parents were not very pleased.
I remembered freaking out when my mom explained it: "you INSERT it??". Recently, I'm thinking about the more eco-friendly moon cup, so I guess I have to try to learn the logic of the insertion anyway.
They're trash birds that kill baby ducklings. Circle of life buddy.

This way, you'll have a better idea how heavy your flow is and how often you'll need to change them. Pro tip: They are much easier to insert when you have already begun your cycle. Dry tampon changes are Not. Fun. As for those who keep saying "there are no nerve endings where tampons are supposed to sit," SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES! You shouldn't be hyper-aware of it, but that doesn't mean completely insensate. If you like to swim, try a few times. If you have a heavy flow, they're great for school days - wear the pad AND the tampon, and when you need to change, you're already prepared, and any seepage will also be covered. Does this need a warning at the beginning? I mean, it's a tampon discussion, I'd like to think anybody reading this would understand that women have periods and they are all different.
OMG I hope that poor seagull realized in time that this was NOT a tasty morsel!
actually I think this is stupid enough to be plausible for a 13 year old girl

Wow that is epic. Just when it cant get any worse, a seagull comes and takes it hahaha oh god
Uhmm as a dude I'm just curious, may I ask what it feels while wearing tampons? Here in my country girls usually wears sanitary napkins and there are no tampons displayed on markets or stores so I just learned about using it from other countries.
It doesn't feel like anything actually once inserted, because it sits in a place that has no nerve endings. You can't feel it at all. The potentially painful/uncomfortable part is getting them in and out, because then it passes the mouth of the vagina which is very sensitive. Also the vagina can get a bit dry when wearing tampons for days and that too can feel uncomfortable.

While I agree we shouldn't be ashamed of something harmless and natural, I'd like to point out that the disgust we have for bodily fluids and malfunctions is a way of self-protection against possible infections that comes with it. For example, in Medieval Europe, poor social hygene (and the lack of infrastructure technology for keeping the streets clean from human excrement) played a huge role in the spreading of deadly diseases.
