You cant really numb it. Its so quick that I dont think you have anything to worry about.As a piercer, I dont think people find it one of the most painful piercings.Most people say that the clamp hurts the worst, and that only feels like a little pinch.But everybody's pain tolarance is unique. \nThe only numbing cream that is available cant be used near the mouth.(so its ok for ears,nipples and navels-but not oral stuff)\nHeres a tip. When you get pierced, they should tell you to rinse your mouth out with an alcoholic based mouthwash, If you do it for a long time ( like 2 minuites) most people say it numbs the inside of their mouth.

I feel this sensitive issue, says a lot about you in nature. I have heard that the belly button is an area of the body linked to your little finger. Would I be right in saying.. that when u drink a cup of tea - ur pinky goes up in the air? Cos if so.. it is ur belly button connecting to your finger.. saying... mmm yess.. Im going to love this cup of tea. What this tells me about you in nature is that you love to have  A HUGE DINNER!!

NO NO NO NO NO NO!   There are so many reasons not to do this.  Fist diseases, like hepatitis and Infections. Tattoo and Peircing shops are supposed to be sterile. They have to pass alot of codes and stuff to make sure their equipment is safe and clean.\n\nsecond this disfigurement factor.  Pericings don't always close depending on where they are.  The person needs to have the right equipment and know how to get the job done right so you don't get infected or scarred.  Many of the areas that are commonly pierced get like this thick scar tissue when they heal over, not to noticable but you can't perice through it easily so little chance of fixing boo boos.\n\nIf you are geting you ear LOBES pierced the little stations at the mall and such are fine, anywhere else on your body, research.  See their work.  Make sure you SEE them take the needle out of the package. Any good piercer will do that without you asking.  Make sure they are clean and talk to people who have had stuff done there.  The point of Tattoos and Piercing is adornment so make sure it is done right.

Well first of all, careful when you're playing with it. I got mine pierced and immediately started playing with it. I ended up ripping the pierce causing me immense pain for the week it took to heal. You can't really fix the hole unless you get a smaller gauge and then stop yourself from playing with it. The other person is right though. A metal barbell can leave miniscule cracks in your teeth causing them to rot. I have actually chipped one of my teeth with my tongue ring. For that reason I would recommend at least get a barbell with plastic capture beads. They also have ones with plastic barbells, but i found myself playing with that more than my metal one. My dentist even told me that the plastic ones are better, they do less damage to your teeth. Your other option is get a bigger gauge. Say you have a 14, see if you can use a 12. You should wait for a while before you try to do that, but it will make the bigger hole less noticeable. Of course, if you play with it and stretch it out....well I'm sure you know where I'm going with that. Hope this helps!

I was always afraid to use tampons too.\nBut now that I do use them I can not imagine ever using pads again.\n\nThere is instructions on the box. Just read them and follow them. Remember they wouldnt sell as many as they do if they were as dangerous as it sounds like they are.\n\nThe chances of one getting stuck is slim to none. And if nothing else remember they have a string!!! As long as that is hanging out there is no problem.\n\nStart with a small size. They make minis and teen sizes. Also make sure you are getting it far enough up...it is uncomfortable if you do not put it up far enough.\nFollow the diagram given it will be ok!

Yes it hurts.  Not horribly, but it does.  It also takes a long time to heal (expect at least 6 months) because it gets hit, rubbed and jostled a lot.  It's prone to infection while it's healing and, in my experience, an infected belly button is more painful than the piercing.  \n\nI don't know what your state's laws are about body piercing but a lot of reputable shops won't pierce anyone under 16.  I think you should wait a couple of years, personally.

How do you insert a tampon?\n\nYou may be worried and nervous about using your first tampon. Talk to your mom or a friend who has used tampons. It is important to first learn how to use a tampon and then, just relax! The more you relax, the easier the insertion will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, making insertion even harder. For your first time, you may want to try using a tampon when your menstrual flow is heavy; this should allow the tampon to glide in more easily. Choose the smallest size tampon for the first time. By following these simple guidelines, and those that come with your package of tampons, your first experience with tampons should be easy.\n\nSit or stand in a comfortable position. Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down. After you find a position that is most comfortable for you, hold the tampon with the fingers that you write with. Hold the middle of the tampon, at the spot where the smaller, inner tube inserts into the larger, outer tube. Make sure the string is visible and pointing away from your body.\n\n\nWith your other hand, open the labia (the folds of skin around the vaginal opening) and position the tampon in the vaginal opening.\n\n\nGently push the tampon into the opening, aiming for the small of your back. Stop when your fingers touch your body and the applicator, or outer tube, is completely inside the vagina.\n\n\nOnce the applicator or outer tube is inside of you, use your index finger to push the inner tube (the tube where the removal string is connected) through the outer tube.\n\n\nOnce the inner tube is all the way in, use your thumb and middle finger to remove the applicator or outer tube. Make sure that the string hangs outside of the vaginal opening. Later, in order to remove a tampon, just pull downward on the removal string. \nIf the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted the tampon incorrectly or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. If this occurs, just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon. Remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, relax and try again!

have fun with it!!  pull out some scrap fabric and try them all, just make sure to adjust your tension from least to most, not most to least.  this can break your needle and also break the thread making it a pain in the booty.

I have one myself, several years now.  Occured sometime after lung transpalnt surgery.  My doctor has told me that it is only a problem if it strangulates my intestines, otherwise don't worry.  Since you are also worried about your appearance, you may want to look into surgical repair, that's the only way to remove one.  A good surgeon can do this with minimal scar and can even hide the scar in your belly button.

That is not a weird question at all.  \n\nTampons are the ideal solution for active girls who play sports and especially swim, and even for other girls they are MUCH more comfortable than pads, they are cleaner than pads, and much more environmentally friendly than pads. \n\nTampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.\n\nOne way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself.  Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about.  This is something that is essential for any girl.  \n\nGet comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around.  It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works.  When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.\n\nNext time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect.  It is different, but it is not bad.  Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was.  Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice.  Just keep trying until you get it right.  When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.\n\nUsing a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment.  You will have to pick for yourself.\n\nWhich ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

Don't worry, I had the same problem the first time I used a tampon... You can use a mirror to look down there;  then push a little, like if you are going to poo, and the "hole" that opens and close  that's were you have to put the tampon... it's kind of the middle one, the back one, or last one is where we really poo! hehe... also don't forget to read the instructions of the tampons so you can insert it correctly... It would be a good idea to ask your mother or a friend that already uses tampon, although I know it's kind of embarrasing to ask some things to our mothers, but that's how a friend explained me, and it worked! just be careful to put it correctly, and you won't feel anything! and also read the instructions of when you have to change it, etc.  Good Luck! :D
