Step 1: If this is your first time, we recommend choosing a day when your bleeding is moderate. Try to relax - it's totally normal to need a few tries before you get it right.
Step 2: Wash your hands, unwrap your tampon (pull on the loose end of the coloured tape) and insert into your DAME reusable tampon applicator. To learn how to load your applicator, check out How it Works.
Step 3: Gently insert the tip of the applicator into your vagina. You want an upward angle of 45 degrees. Now push the plunger all the way in to insert your tampon.
Step 4: Carefully remove the applicator and clean it. Rinse it under the cold tap, and wipe it dry with loo paper to make sure it's completely dry. If you don't have a reusable applicator, or prefer to use your tampons without an applicator, then you can insert DAME tampons with your finger too.
