First off, don't guess. Use a mirror if you want to see exactly where it should be inserted. Or ask your mother or another woman who you feel comfortable with.
But there is a big difference between sex and inserting a tampon. When you decide to have sex your vagina will prepare for the penis to enter as you are aroused. Your vagina will get "wet" which allows the penis to slide in easier.
Tampons are more difficult to put in because there is no lubrication. Also, your vagina is not wet and aroused because there is nothing attractive about putting in a tampon. You may feel more comfortable with putting in the tampon once you know how to do it with ease. It just takes getting used to.
I thought that once before too about the size of a tampon compared to a penis but trust me, its not the same. Don't worry!

Tampons just take some time to get use to. Take your time and read the whole package insert (O.B. tampons have a very helpful insert). Once the tampon is in you should not be able to feel it. If it is painful its probably not in the right place so try again. If you still can't get it talk to your doctor as a few women have a thinker heman that can easily be fixed.
As for sex it is a totally different thing and will not be a problem. Just make sure your ready and with a guy that is willing to go slow and make sure your conformable.

You need to become more familiar with your body. This is weird but it will help. You've seen the diagrams of a woman's parts, right? Well, just on paper it doesn't mean much. Get a copy of that diagram and then squat over a mirror, or lay in a bed with your legs spread and use a mirror to really look at yourself. This is not perverted or disgusting or unnatural...you're just learning your body. Use your fingers to find the different 'holes' including your vagina. And again, this is not sexual or perverted, but use your fingers to get a feeling of how things go into your vagina. If your hymen is still intact, it may cause problems for a tampon going in.
And for now, don't worry about how you're going to have sex. When you're older, you'll be in better control of your body so don't worry about that now.

I've never used a tampon but, as far as sex goes, it's totally different. When you have sex you will want to have something in there but putting a tampon in, I can see the problem because you don't want it to be there. I suggest using a pad whether you're having sex or not. Sex is something you share with someone because you love them or care for them. Your partner will understand your fears if you wait for the right person.

Just relax as much as you can and spread your legs out to get the tampon in. I use Tampax Pearl because of the "satin feel" or whatever and it made things easier. I didn't use them until right before I got married and I thought the tampons helped stretch me out a little. Maybe start using them at home on the weekends or when you don't have to go anywhere and then depending on your flow take it out every 4-6 hours. Plus if you start stretching with your fingers (start with one, lubed with KY or saliva) that will help. Look on Go Ask Alice! or something like that for ideas on stretching.

The first thing you need to do is explore your own body. Get a hand mirror and check things out. Have a female genital diagram nearby and look at your body so you can locate your vagina, urethra, and clitoris ect. You can use tampons and once you use them more often you will learn just how to insert them. As for having sex.............remember the vagina stretches enough to accomodate for the birth of a baby so sex is not a problem. Get the mirror out though and explore your body. Learn where you body parts are and what makes you feel good. You need to know what makes you feel good so that when you are ready to have sex you can tell your partner what works and what doesn't.

maybe you are not positioning yourself right try standing up and lift your leg up off the floor an insert the tampon from below . This should not prevent you from having sex trust me it has nothing to do with it because sex is so much different all I can say is relax

oh man. um, steph, hon, you shouldnt just guess about it. that could cause some damage. you know where to put it, right? dont worry about sex right now, the more important matter is the guesswork. lets fix that, and then move on from there, hows that? there is a "how to" on the box, or in the box of tampons, try lookin into that. if that doesnt help, check it out online. you could even ask your mom.

I'm sure whenever you're about to have sex you're not going to be worring about this. My cousin/best friend just recently started using tampons because she was afraid to use them. But she had sex way before she started using them.
