Thanx everyone for all the help on Natracare.:) But there is one more thing I need to ask. When I put in a tampon ( it doesn't matter what kind, plastic or cardboard) I'll have the applicator in, but when I press the bottom, you know to put the cotton in, It's like there is something pushing the tampon in a different direction, or down. It's like a wall or something, like the tampon can only go in so far. I know the womans reproductive system, & all that, but I need other people's help about this. Im perfectly normal, it's just I don't know if Im putting it in too far, or if im putting it in wrong. When I put it in, I lean foward a little bit, like squating, this helps, but sometimes, it still does it. I have been using tampons for almost 3 yrs. this has never bothered me, Im just curious, thanx.:)

have you tried putting it in while on your back? Remember, you need to relax while doing it! Also, if you put one foot on the seat of the toilet, and leave the other on the ground, it might work better for you.
I have a good idea what's messing up your application process. Your Cervix might be getting in the way of things. Try your best to locate the position of your cervix inside of your vagina ( a roundish bump towards the back) remember to compromise for this when putting in the aplicator.
best of luck

Your most likely bumping into your cervix and that is the "wall" your hitting. Or the tampon is sliding along side the cervix. Either way it's normal and you have to remember that when you start your period there is some swelling on the inside and out. (which is perfectly normal) but you can be more swollen than other times. I always stand and put my foot on the toilet and lean forward this keeps if from being so uncomfortable and it seems to get in there better.

Make an appointment with your doctor. If you’ve used tampons in the past without a problem, then you may have an obstruction that needs to be removed. If you also have a fever, and/or a rash that looks like sunburn, then go to the ER.

it sounds likely to me, that your uterus is tilted so your vaginal canal is also tilted, meaning it doesn't necessarily go along with the directions on the box.... You might try laying down to insert, instead of leaning forward see if that makes it easier for you.
