So you’ve got the string. Now, pull gently at a slight angle—not straight down, but kind of forward, toward your belly button. This mimics the natural curve of your vagina. If you yank straight down, it can feel uncomfortable, like you’re trying to open a stubborn jar lid.
If the tampon feels stuck? Don’t yank it like a ripcord. It’s not a game of tug-of-war. Your vagina is not a slot machine. If you meet resistance, stop. Give your muscles a second to relax, then gently pull again while bearing down slightly.
If it’s dry (because you left it in too long or it’s a light-flow day), it might feel a bit scratchy coming out. That’s normal. Just go slowly and steadily. You can even wet the string with a little water to make it slide easier.
