Keep trying. You can strech out your hymen hole
if you are a virgin. First,insert a finger into your vagina as far as comfortable. Use some lube if your vagina is dry. Then, apply pressure downward on the vaginal wall toward your anus. Hold the pressure for a few minutes. Do this 2 to 3 times each day. Then after doing this for a while, try inserting 2 fingers. Do that for a while. Then try again. If this hurts, or you feel faint, stop. If you can't do it, talk to your doctor.Or maybe your hymen is just too small. just use a pad for now. Good Luck! Hope this helps! :-)

Are you putting it in right? The first time i tried i didnt no what i was doing it and hurt. Read the instructions in the tampon box and enter the tampon at a slight angle towards your lower back.
BUT.. if you got your first period 6 months ago... you should proably wear a pad for 4+ months.... it's suggest you dont use tampons until a year after your first period

well i think for one thing you are too young to use tampons. My daughter is 13 and i dont let her use tampons. You may be putting it in wrong. You need to read the instructions or have your mom demonstrate the proper way to insert one in. Hint; nothing wrong with pads sweety.

it is all about relaxation and how you insert the tampon. You need to stand up and put your foot on the toilet seat then insert it. The more practice you get the easier it will be.It took me months to figure it out. :) Now I am so old I forgot about that LOL

keep trying sweetie. Maybe try a different angle--I do mine sitting on the toilet, as standing up makes my muscles clench too much. And I aim it at almost a 45 degree angle, towards the small of my back. But most of all, relax. When I'm tense, my muscles tense up and I can't get them in. could also be that you're a bit dry (which also makes it hard and painful to get in), so you could try using a bit of KY jelly to help ease it in.
Good luck!

Keep trying and soon enough it will work: it took me a while too! Don't worry about it! But I totally would not stop trying because tampons are miracles!!

stick with pads for a while, and slowly try one every once in a while, even if you are off your period, keep trying until it works, or just don't use one, go to your gynecologist to look at you.
