Tampons don't take a lot of time to put in..usually 30 seconds and then you're done. You will get used to putting them in, it shouldn't take you a long time. Most girls would sit, stand or even put one leg on the toilet or the tub to get it in there lol. Whatever position you're comftrable in, go for it. Here is a website with much more info and pictures showing how to do it correctly. It's nothing gross and they're drawn. Since you just started using tampons, stick with regular and as you keep using them, swich to super. You should still use them at school, and since you're heavy, change it every 2-3 hours and you won't leak. Wear a pany liner and just incase you do leak a little bit, it won't show on your undies.
