Use a lubricant like Vaseline. It will go in easily.Insert at an angle towards the small of your back.

first of all DON"T use vaseline, it is not something you want inside of you try a water based lubricant like K-Y jelly on the tube part not the actual tampon and do try using smaller tampons(keep a couple extra in your purse along with the lubricant). Try standing with one foot on the edge of the toliet seat and one on the floor squat just a little and tilt your pelvis just a little bit forward. Go slowly just a little at a time. You will know it is in the right place when you can't feel it inside you. Relax when you are doing this and don't just push and try not to clench your vaginal muscles when doing this because that can make it uncomfortable.

Your hymen is probably blocking the way. You might need to see your doctor to widen the opening to allow the tampon to be inserted. If it's only widened a little, it won't affect your virginity. The alternative is using pads.
DON'T stick it in the hold you pee out of ... that 's the wrong opening! You could hurt yourself by trying to do that.

If you're a virgin your hymen may still be intact, which is stopping you getting it in properly. Tiny tears in it will be letting the blood come out.
Or it could be vaginismus - basically if you've nervous about it going in (or not, as the case may be) your vagina involuntarily spasms and pretty much shuts itself. I used to get it every time my ex tried to have sex with me because I hated him, and yeah it does hurt. Maybe stick to using towels?

use tampax easy glide they give you visual directions inside the box also if you still have problems you must seek help from free clinic at health dept. maybe there is a medical problem that you are not aware of take care of your body or you will regret it.

relax. there is a whole, don't worry haha.
it's at an angle. try putting it in pointing it toward your lower back, and i guess for the first time, get in a comfortable position.
good luck

there is a hole. its on an angle. try looking in the mirror. trust me. it doesn't hurt just relax
Find the hole where you pee out of, then stick it there.

you need to relax, that's all. first time is scary, so just relax and start with smaller tampons. good luck

Make sure you are inserting it in your vagina. Also use a small size of tampon, it will go in easier.
