Well since you just started you dont want to use supers yet...first get used to tampons...alot of girls have trouble the first few times...but dont worry..for me i had no trouble at all so try putting one in again nd you'll get the hang of it. You could be having problems beacause of the position your in. The easiest way for me to put one in is to take my pants all the way down and then stand with my legs way apart....some girls do it sitting down but I find standing the easiest. Also make sure you push it in until your fingers are touching you...because the first few times when i put tmapons in i didnt realize i wasnt putting them in far enough and I would start feeling really uncomfortable down there. Now the issue of leaking...since you dont wanna use supers yet...wear regulars but also wear a thin panty liner...they're way better than pads...and thats what i use if I'm worried. Once you get used to tampons...try buying tampons that are made for juniors....they have all the sizes but they make the applicators a little skinnier...they're especially made for girls who have just started. You wanna get a skinnier tampon because your still very tight down there...but if you wanna go straight for the normal supers go for it...you might have trouble pushing in the tampon the 1st time though, but take your time and relax and it will go in...and once you get it in the first time..you wont have any problems in the future! Well good luck! ♥ caitie [ x0blu3eyedbeautyx0's advice column | Ask x0blu3eyedbeautyx0 A Question ]

Then once you use them more and get better at putting them in then wear them at school too. As for gym yeah it will be easier to wear a tampon so you probably wanna think of that.
