I know this is grows but I just wanted to know, when you put a tampon in, does it stay with a hard plastic container or is it only the cotton part that should stay inside?

Just the cotton part stays inside.

Only the cotton part goes in and stays in. It would be really painful if the plastic applicator went in to. Then we might have a problem.

The plastic is the applicator only!

Here is some information for you about Tampons and How to use them.
Tampons: What you should know
Tampons are put inside of your vagina to soak up blood before it leaves your body. Instructions come with tampon products to show you how to put them in.
Some tampons have a plastic or cardboard covering that makes it easier for you to put the tampon in. This is called the "applicator." Do not leave the applicator inside your vagina.
All tampons have a string at the end to help you take it out when it needs to be changed (at least every 4 to 8 hours).
Tampons will not get lost in your vagina or "slip up."
You can wear tampons when you swim. Water does not enter your vagina.
It is VERY important that you use the tampon with the lowest level of absorbency for your needs. On the heavy days, you may need a “super” tampon and as your flow gets lighter, you may only need a “regular” tampon. Or, you may only need a “regular” tampon on your heavy days, and then can switch to a “junior” tampon for your lighter days. You will be able to tell what level of absorbency you need by how often you need to change your tampon.
Using tampons that are too absorbent or not changing them often enough can put you at risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). You can avoid TSS by not using tampons at all, changing them often, or by switching back and forth between tampons and pads. While the symptoms of TSS can be caused by many other illnesses, tell an adult and call a doctor if you are using tampons and have the following:
What is TSS?
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a very rare but dangerous illness that affects your whole body. TSS is caused by certain types of bacteria that make toxins – poisons – in your body. Tampons can make it easier for bacteria to get into your body. It is also possible to get TSS if bacteria get into an open wound. Make sure you clean all skin wounds and infections well, with the help of a parent/guardian.
High fever that comes on all of a sudden
Muscle pains
Dizziness or fainting
A rash that looks like sunburn
Bloodshot eyes
Strange vaginal discharge (fluid)
Feeling of confusion
Doctors treat TSS with antibiotics, and will examine your kidneys and liver to make sure they are working okay. Doctors will also treat your rash to help you heal. It is important to get medical help right away if you have any of the above symptoms.

only the cotton stays in. You push it (like a push pop) and then pull out the cardboard.
