Okay I have always tried to wear tampons, but for some reason it always hurts. Ill sit there and try numerous times. But lately i can wear them but it wont hurt but an hour or so later it leaks and I am pretty sure I have the right absorbancy. I just believe I insert them wrong and its hard to talk to my mom about this cause she just tells me the same thing ove,.

Perhaps it would be easier if you tried using one without an applicator... (There is a brand made without an applicator, they're called "o.b.". They're made in such a way that you can place your finger up inside the middle of the tampon and insert it without an applicator.) I find the applicator to be rather clumsy, personally, but if I use one without an applicator, I always know just exactly how to insert it.
If you have leakage problems, I'd recommend using pantiliners to protect your underwear. They're so thin you don't know you're wearing them, but they catch the leakage, too.

There are picture instructions that come in the box, try reading them again, maybe you missed something the first time. But here it is - -Insert the tampon as far as the ridges on the bottom of the outer tube, push the inner tube in as far as it will go and remove both pieces of cardboard or plastic. If it feels uncomfortable try pushing it in a little farther, but don't lose the string.
If you have trouble, use a little bit of KY jelly to make insertion smoother and less painful. The first time I tried one, it hurt after an hour or so, after reading the instructions again I realized that I didn't have it in far enough and it was falling out, that's why it hurt. Ever since I've never had another problem. Just remember to change it as frquently as needed. If you are worried about leaking, wear a pantyliner as well.

Take the tampon...hold it near the joint, where the ribs are and the 2 pieces meet. Insert just to where the top part of the application is at the outside of your vagina. Using the bottom part of the tampon, gently push the bottom part into the top part and the top part will gently slid into place. Remove..the top part of the applicator will now be in the bottom part...toss in the garbage

Some women are unable to wear tampons because of the way their anatomy. If after you have tried the suggesgtions here you still find them uncomfortable switch to pads until you are able to talk to a dr about it.

when u insert it, sit on the floor and put it at a downward angle and insert it. if that doesn't work, you can try another brand or go to the doctor. they might tell you to try not to wear them for a while.

Try another brand. Whenever I use Tampax, it always leaks... Not too sure what brand you're wearing, but try another

I have found that Tampax are too long and are not comfortable, but the discomfort part, I would say that it is not going in far enough.

try not to use tampons, they're not recommended by gynecolgists, you get infections, etc... don't know your age, but pads are better (and easier) no problem getting those on right
