If it hurt is wasn't in all the way. You shouldn't feel it at all. Take it out and try again.
How to insert a tampon:
"Relax! Try not to worry about inserting the tampon right the first time. If you are tense it will make insertion harder.
The best time to practice inserting a tampon is during the heavy part of your period. The tampon should glide inside your vagina easily without any discomfort.
Decide if you prefer to insert the tampon standing or sitting. If sitting is your preference, sit on the toilet. If you want to try standing, putting one foot on the bathtub helps.
Hold the tampon applicator in your right hand if you are right-handed, or left if left-handed.
Use your thumb and middle finger to hold the bottom of the larger, outer tube.
Point the tip of the applicator toward your vagina, facing slightly towards the back. The smaller tube should be pointed away from your body.
Use your other hand to open your vagina.
Place the tip of the applicator at the opening of your vagina.
Gently push the smaller end of the applicator in until it is completely inside the larger outer tube. This pushes the tampon into your vagina and out of the tube.
With your thumb and middle finger still on the outer tube, release the smaller tube and let the strings dangle freely.
Gently pull the two tubes out together.
Dispose of the applicator according to the manufactuer's instructions.
When you are ready to remove the tampon, gently pull the withdrawl strings down and forward. The used tampon may be flushed down the toilet.
Tips:
Lubricating the rounded end of the tampon with a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly can make insertion easier the first few times. Don't use petroleum jelly.
Always read the manufactuer's instructions throughly before using any type of tampon.
If the tampon feels uncomfortable it is probably not inserted far enough into your vagina. Try again with a new tampon."

When you insert the tampon you insert at a angle. Insert like to the back of you and it will go in much easier. I remember the first time I tried a tampon. I felt it the entire day........reason being..........it was not in right. I had to have my neighbor come over and help me. I do have to say however that once you use them, you will never go back to pads. May I remind you of one thing though, please when wearing them, take them out every so often so that you dont develop toxic shock syndrome. When you insert, take your time, breathe and feel around.......I know it is not pleasant but that is the only way you are going to know your body. I hope this helped. Good Luck and Blessings

stick the tampon in to the ridges (your fingers on the ridges, the ridges just outside your vagina) and just push the lever thing and pull the case. You'll get used to it. and it shouldn't feel like it is out or hurt. Just try again, and make sure your vagina is wet.

You may need to use a lighter absorbency
