Oh gosh, I'm fourteen also, and I was nervous about them too. I was freaking out and i said i'd NEVER use them, and i'd always use pads. Now i will NEVER use a pad. :) They make it smell less, and you feel MUCH comfier. They make everything 10 times easier, trust me. It's like your not even on your period! and, i was afraid to go swimming with them until about a week ago i decided i'd try it. No leaking, no nothing. I would just reccomend not swimming if your EXTREMELY heavy and you only have a regular tampon but if you have a new extra heavy one in, dont worry about a thing. :)

Okay, it will be really useful in the future if you try a tampon. My advice is to buy a box of Tampax Pearl. I used that because I heard it was easy to use and I couldn't understand how to use the cardboard applicators. I thought it was hopeless because I tried a whole bunch of them without success. Tampax Pearl has a plastic applicator with a rounded top. Just get a mirror and relax your muscles. You will know where to put it and the mirror helps. It slips in really, really easily and I was shocked when I did it because I got it on the first try. They come with a little paper inside the box, if you get lost =)
And you can swim with them on, no problem. They're comfortable and easy to hide under bathing suits/underwear. Don't be afraid!

Its kinda of self-explanatory. Theres not much you can do to screw it up. Or cause something to go wrong. All you is read the directions in the tampon box and your pretty much set.
Theres nothing to be scared about.
It may be uncomfertable the first time just take it out and try another one.

Listen, it is a an absorbant bundle of fibers you place in your vagina to stop vaginal bleeding.
I don't understand why it's scary. As long as you don't JAM or CRAM it up there, it won't hurt and you won't feel anything. You will be able to go swimming and no one will know and no ones life is going to end over inserting a tampon for the first time. Unless you accidentally insert a tampon bomb. They don't come prepackaged, and as long as you use one with in a wrapper, you will be fine.
Go swim. Tampons are the least of your worries.
