Okay. Here are some tips:
1. Buy the smallest tampons you can find - either mini ones, or ones especially designed for teenagers. Make sure they are plastic and have curved tips.
2. If you can, buy K-Y Jelly. This is a water based lubricant that can help a tampon slip in a little easier. Also, if you feel pain while pushing the tampon in, stop. Push more gently, or try a different angle.
3. Next...you see how there are two parts to the tampon? The top part which holds the cotton, and the bottom part which plunges into the top? You'll want to hold the tampon at the bottom of the part holding the cotton. When you insert the tampon (aiming at your lower back - it's a slight angle), put it in until your fingers holding the applicator bump into your vagina, and THEN push in the plunger. This makes sure it is inserted fully and, once inside, you should not be able to feel it.
If you are having pain inserting it, I would think it's caused by not putting it in quite the right place (try with a finger first), pushing it in at the wrong angle, or just being new to tampons. They're awkward, but they're sort of like riding a bike. For awhile, you'll have a nervous, fumbling time trying to use them - but one day you'll just get the hang of it. It just takes time.
Good luck.
