First, buy a brand which has a plastic applicator, not a cardboard one. That makes things much easier. My favourite brand personally is Tampax compax.
Try to find ones which are designed for lighter days when you're just starting out. Yes, you'll probably have to change it more often, but they're very small so easiest to learn with.
When you're going to put one in, you have to relax. Get into a position where it will be easiest - most people suggest sitting on the toilet with your legs wide apart, or putting one foot on the edge of the bath. Personally, I find the easiest way is to crouch down with my knees wide apart.
Take the tampon in your right hand (assuming you're right handed). Spread the labia with your left hand and gently insert the tampon into the vagina. Push it in gently until the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin. That's the most important part - it has to be far enough in or it will be uncomfortable. If you're having trouble getting it in, try pushing slightly to one side or the other, or slightly rotating the tampon as you push it in. If you find it a bit dry going in, you could try using a bit of vaseline on the tip of the tampon.
Once the fingers of your right hand are touching the skin, use your left hand to push the applicator in all the way, as far as it goes - again, if you feel a bit of resistance try pushing slightly to one side or the other, then withdraw the applicator and the tampon should be in place.
If the tampon is in the right place, you won't be able to feel it inside you at all. It's difficult to get the hang of at first, but just keep trying, I promise you it's worth it!!! No more messy pads, no more gushing of blood when you sneeze or move position.......tampons are definitely the way to go!!! Good luck!

It doesn't matter how big that you are to use tampons we women are all built the same on the inside. If a tampon is in properly it should not hurt in fact you shouldn't even be able to feel it or even know that it is in. Do yourself a favor though before you put it in. Pull on the string a few times to make sure that it is tight then insert the tampon. It may feel funny at first but you will get used to it and they are completely safe to use.

If you feel it at all, then it isn't in right. Be sure to read about TSS. It's a rare but serious illness affecting young teens and older women. It's caused from leaving the tampon in too long. This can be easily done, as a tampon put in correctly on a light flow day can be easily forgotten.

No, it doesn't if you do it right. Just start of with the smallest provided, because you don't need larger at first most likely.
Just put on foot on the toilet seat or bath and push it diagonal to the back.
It may feel a little weird, but you'll get used to it soon. It takes a little exercise,but that's mainly with everything you try first and is unknown to you.
So, don't you worry.

No, it won't hurt. Just take your time and read the directions when you use it. Expect to make sure and change them often, at the very least every four hours. Other than that, you probably won't feel it at all and won't even notice it's in there.

Don't worry, go slow and have another look, they have Tampax slender in the stores. They're made for first time users, specifically teenagers.

wont hurt - especially those with insert helper are easy to use...I use them sometimes. Its kinda good...In my case - the smaller ones hurt me more than the normal ones. Not that the normal ones hurt, but small ones I dont like.

Definitely take your time inserting it. Once it is in and seated correctly, you shouldn't be able to feel it.
