I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with you. It'd be incredibly unlikely that you'd have got to fourteen without someone finding something amiss.

It's not that easy to put in a tampon the first time, and it sounds like you are pushing up against your pubic bone. Try doing it while sitting on the toilet... that opens things up a bit, and makes it easier. Your vagina is located inside your labia (the lip-looking things that go along the sides) and directly below your clitoris (the "bump" of flesh). It isn't a hole, really... the sides are folded together most of the time, and you will need to push GENTLY to get the tampon in. Just relax and take your time and I'm sure you will get it. You cannot insert it in the wrong place.

This is also a topic that would benefit from discussing with your mom or another older woman you trust.

RELAX, dont hurt yourself...at first when you use a tampon it will feel funny and might hurt, but its normal for the fact that your not use to it....later on it will be like nothing and trust the tampon is good....dont be afraid...
