Story About How to Change My Tampon
This is how I will change my tampon.
I will go to the bathroom for privacy.
I can keep my tampons and clean underwear in a bag so I can bring the supplies to the bathroom with me.
When I go to the bathroom I will pull down my pants and my underwear.
I will sit on the toilet.
I will remove my dirty tampon by pulling down on the string.
I will wrap up the dirty tampon in toilet paper and throw it away in the garbage.
I will remove the new tampon from the wrapping.
I will put the applicator in my vagina and push the plastic to insert the tampon in my vagina.
I may need to stand up to make it easier to insert.
I will throw away the used applicator and wrapping in the garbage can.
I will make sure there is no blood on my underwear. If there is, I will need to put on clean underwear.
I should also use the toilet and wipe to make sure I am clean.
I will pull up my underwear and pants.
I will flush the toilet.
I will take the bag of supplies with me.

If I have questions or need help, I can ask a parent.
