Answer 1

First and foremost, relax. You are probably tensing when you put it in, especially now that you have experienced pain and are afraid it is going to happen again. Try a different position for inserting it.

Answer 2

Ok I had the same problem. First use the smallest tampon you can find, get some ky jelly and put a little on the tip of the tampon and relax.
