I use to ask my mother the same questions and she told me that you could'nt be a virgin to use tampons,but I always use pads so I think that's a good idea!!

Hi there,
This used to happen to me too.
I didn't like the idea of using towels cos personally it makes me feel kinda gross!!
The best way to insert one is to stand with one leg up on the toilet seat and push it up diagonally towards the small of your back.
If you still have trouble inserting it hen (and I know i's kinda yuk but it works) lubricate the outside of the tampon slightly then insert it with your finger.
I would also recommend you relax (I know it's not easy) because if you are tense then so will your vaginal muscles be and this will make it virtually impossible to put a tampon in.
Good luck next time your period comes around!!

When I was your age I had the same problem, I found out quickly enough though, that if you dont agle it just right it will hurt pretty badly. The best thing to do is read the instruction paper, I know it sounds funny, but it will tell you, when you insert it, it has to be angled slightly toward your back, not front. You will get the hang of it, when it is finally done right, you wont even feel it there. The size of the tampon, unless it's a extra super which I can't even use the extra super, the size really doesn't matter. Try the regular, and light days. I think the best ones to start with are tampax pearl.
