You could use Kotex or Pearl tampons since they have plastic applicators and are much smoother and easier to use over the paper ones. OB tampons have no applicator...some people like those.
Hope this helps!

Yes, don't do anything that's hurting you. Try using tampons with plastic applicators (or if you're comfortable with it, ones that don't have applicators and are manually inserted) and see if it hurts or not. If it really hurts to use any tampons and you must use them, get everything checked out to make sure you don't have sores or anything else that may be causing the pain.

Yes a lot of people find cardboard to be a bit less easy to use. Especially if you're not used to using tampons at all go for plastic - you'll notice a difference right away.

Try tampons with plastic applicators. I hate cardboard (I think they hurt). If it hurts, stop using them.

plastic feels a little better if you're sensitive down there, the good thing about cardboard is they biodegrade whereas plastic applicators will be in landfills for thousands of years.

If it really hurts, then yes.
Try a plastic applicator because they are much more comfortable.

you should try the plastic applicator and always remember to use the perfect one cause if its to much for your fluid well yeah its gonna hurt after you try the plastic one and the right one and if it still hurts then just stop using them and use pads

personally i have no problem with cardboard applicators, but some of my friend are horrified that i use carboard and not plastic. if it hurts, then don't use it. try plastic instead, i hear tampax pearl is great.

you can take the tampon out of the applicator and just insert it using your fingers. or just buy the plastic applicators.
