Can't insert tampon

[OakLeaf]

That's got to be every woman's personal decision (and I have to say, as much as I would leave it up to any adult woman, I do NOT think an adolescent should take hormones). But at the risk of stating the obvious, if a woman can't put even something small and narrow in there, there's a strong likelihood that she'll find great pain when she should be having great pleasure, and I don't mean during swim meets...

+1 on Planned Parenthood. The NP spent plenty of time with me making sure I knew how to insert and remove my cervical cap. (And I went to PP well into my 40s, as long as I had to worry about such things, because they are the ONLY people in my area who offer a full range of birth control options. Most of the GYN offices I called, the receptionists had never even heard of cervical caps.)

If there isn't a PP in your area, maybe there's a certified nurse-midwife who would have the time for your daughter.
