I am 13 years old and whenever I try to insert a tampon it goes in about 2 centimeters but then it hurts so I take it out and just use a pad instead. I have tried this many times and it never seems to work. Also, I have asked other girls my age and most of them said that they've inserted one successfully and the rest I don't think have ever tried. So I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if there's something wrong with me.

Get the one with the plastic applicator slim size and put KY jelly on it if you have to. Also, stand facing the toilet and put one foot on the toilet when you insert it.

That depends on when you are using the tampon. In the first day or so you may have a light period so you are not actually producing enough fluid to lubricate the tampon. What little you do produce is soak up partially by the tampon and dries you out and it hurts. I learned from experience,OUCH I would suggest only using a tampon when you period is heavy enough to lubricate the tampon, on your lighter days use a pantyliner of a mini pad. If however you are still hurting during your heavy days then I would suggest either not using a tampon or seeing a doctor. It may just be a matter of your hymen.
