Or you could easily look it up online and find some sites that have pictures that could guide you.
It's best to do this while you're sitting down.
With two fingers, hold the grip. Most will hold it with the thumb and middle finger. Then put the index finger on the plunger.
Then slide the entire barrel into your vaginal opening. The grip that you hold stays outside.
Hold the grip and push the plunger inside.
Hold onto the grip and pull the rest of the applicator out. The tampon is inside you and the string should hang outside.

Dragonflymagic answered Wednesday September 11 2013, 1:15 am: Oh boy...well first off, virgin and virginity are incorrect words because there is no way to verify if someone has had sex yet or not. Those words were created by men in a time when heirs to a property were an important matter and a man wanted to know if a child was really his or not. YOu see, they didnt have paternity tests. Someone came up with the silly notion that if a women bled a few drops of blood on her wedding night that she was a virgin. If she did not bleed, the man could divorce her, she was publicly shunned or worse, put to death. It is an old antiquated unrealistic notion.
Another unreal notion was that the woman had a hymen that a man popped when entering her the first time. If anything totally covered the vaginal opening, then how would the period flow get out, huh? The hymen is a tighter elastic piece of skin that will stretch out over time. It can slowly be stretched from use of tampons, your fingers or dildos and vibraters when masturbating. You need to become comfortable with your body your sexual organs, and begin to explore your sexuality on your own first. When you are old enough or ready to add sex with a male, it just another extension of exploring your sexuality.
Answer this question: Are two lesbians or two gay men who have sex regularly still virgins because they havent had a penis in a vagina yet? See? There is no point at which someone can say a person is still a virgin or not. Even oral sex only is still experiencing sex.

- Can tampons cause you to lose your virginity? No. You lose your virginity when you have intercourse, not when you use a tampon. So don't worry about that, it's fine.
- Can tampons get lost in your body? Nope.
- Can you go to the bathroom with a tampon in? Yes, of course.
- Do you need to be a certain age to be able to use tampons? Nope! Use them when you feel ready.
Now I will give you a few tips on how to insert a tampon.
- Buy tampons with a plastic, rounded applicator. Choose a lighter absorbency because it will make it easier to put in.
- After washing your hands, which is very important, find a comfortable position. There should be directions in the box of tampons that will help you hold the tampon and insert it correctly.
- Find your vaginal opening, aim the applicator toward your back, and push it up a few inches until your fingers touch your flesh. Then carefully push on the end of the applicator to insert the tampon.
- If this hurts a little bit, you can change your angle. When you have inserted the tampon, you shouldn't feel it. If you do feel it, it might not be far in enough, or it might be crooked. You can push it in farther or try again later.
