i've always used pads only but i decided i should start using tampons because it's really starting to "flow" if you get what i mean. i know its supposed to hurt at first but then you get used to it, but does it hurt REALLY BADLY at first? how do you use it? and what brands would you suggest that are the most comfortable?

The most important thing is to get the right size. I know it may mean spending extra money that you don't have, but start with the small sizes first, and don't use them on your first two days. Put a little vaseline on the tip to help it glid in better. And there should be no part of the tampon sticking out once you have inserted it. I guess it does take getting used to...inserting them I mean. ONce you position it, use the applicator to push it in all the way up, until the applicator feels loose. Because the tampon is no longer in it. Maybe you should also try in on a weekend, when you are home, so you can remove it any time you like and not have to wait for a break inbetween class to go to the ladies room.
I guess I would suggest the new pearl applicator brand, I forget who it is made by. Butyou'll find it. Good luck.
