That is not a weird question at all.
Tampons are the ideal solution for active girls who play sports and especially swim, and even for other girls they are MUCH more comfortable than pads, they are cleaner than pads, and much more environmentally friendly than pads.
Tampons do not hurt, and they are not at all uncomfortable, though sometimes girls are a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of inserting them at first.
One way to get past your fear of using a tampon, is to become better acquainted with yourself. Some time when you are not on your period, but before your next period, and when you have some time to be alone, take a few minutes to explore and see what the whole area is about. This is something that is essential for any girl.
Get comfortable, use a hand mirror, and with your other hand spread yourself open and look around. It is not dirty, or ugly, or wrong in any way, it is your body, you should know what it is about and how it works. When you are comfortable, slip a finger inside a few inches.
Next time you have a period, you will be ready to give a tampon a try, and will have a good idea what sort of experience to expect. It is different, but it is not bad. Honestly a tampon is WAY better than a pad ever was. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get it quite right the first few times you try it – it can take a bit of practice. Just keep trying until you get it right. When it is right you won’t be able to feel it at all.
Using a tampon with an applicator is easier at first, but I think the OB without the applicator is easier, more comfy to put in, and much better for the environment. You will have to pick for yourself.
Which ever one you get, follow the instructions on the box, and do not leave it in for longer than the instructions say is safe.

Since you are 12 you would need to pick a small slender tampon and try to get one with the plastic covering that will glide in easily.First and most important is to wash your hands thoroughly before doing this.Gently insert the tampon with your clean finger and push it up until you can't get your finger any farther.Then gently pull back on the plastic and discard in trash.You will need to keep yourself clean and change your tampon as needed.It will be a little awkward at first but practice makes perfect.

First of all, read the directions in the box!
Tampons go inside the body, not "on" the body.

It's mostly for girl that have already had sex. If you haven't It might be harder to insert it into your vagina and be a little painful. Stick to pads if your still a virgin.
