I understand what you're saying, when I first used tampons I was afraid and it took me a little while to get used to the idea of them. The brand that I started out with (I was 14) were Playtex Gentle Glide Slimfits Tampons. The applicator is designed to go in smoothly without discomfort and they are smaller and ideal for teens who's vaginas are smaller than most adult females.
As for your fear of TSS, as long as you change your tampon every 4-6 hours, you shouldn't worry about getting TSS. And don't be afraid of the tampon getting stuck inside your vagina. The string is woven throughout the entire tampon and it cannot come out.
I hope I helped!
