Use a slim or light tampon, those are very skinny and might help you feel not so apprehensive about it. They also have belts you can use with certain pads while swimming, My friend used to use them during summer camp. Read the box instructions for the tampons. It really does go like that[it should have some kind of diagram]. If it begins to hurt stop. You can keep trying until it doesn't hurt. Don't try using them while not menstruating, it's too dry. During your period it will be much easier to insert.

The best advise that I ever got was ... relax. You're not going to be able to do it if you're all tense.
When you try to insert it, pretend like you're aiming for the top of your butt crack (I know, that sounds stupid, but it helps).
When you're first learning how, you're going to waste a lot of them, but it'll be well worth it! Good luck.

There are instructions in the box. Relax, try maybe putting one leg up maybe on the toilet seat. but it will never work if you are not relaxed.
