You should not be able to a feel a correctly inserted tampon. If you clipped the applicator in according to the instructions, the applicator should fully deploy, and the tampon should insert at the correct depth.

TINA allows you to insert tampons with one hand and no independent finger strength, which is great for women with limited dexterity. Instead of your fingers, TINA uses your larger, upper arm muscles to push the tampon in. Easy and smooth, the tampon goes into the correct and comfortable spot every time. TINA also prevents you from getting blood on your hands.

There’s a narrow slit on the front of TINA that’s designed to catch the knot at the end of the tampon string. Guide the string into the top of the slit and pull down until the knot catches. With the extra leverage, it’s easier to pull the tampon out.
