The other people's advice is really good.. so I'm not going to repeat them. But if you find that you're having a difficult time getting it in, wear a pad first and wait until you menstrate, so that you're wet there.. on the inside too. It'll slide in easier that way. If you need to get it in in a hurry, than put the tiniest bit of vasaline on the tip and down like, 1/3 of the way. It'll slide in easier. Good luck!

when i first started using tampons i felt the same way as you. whenever i tried, it just wouldn't work. try doing it right after a shower so that it might slide easier. also, tampax pearl is a little more expensive than other tampons, but it's definitely worth it. they slide in easily. when i insert tampons i sit on the toilet, relax,and once i find "the hole" with my tampon i slide it up and push upthe bottom. the applicator will just come out when the tampon is inserted. the first couple times the tampon may be uncomfortable, but don't give up, in time you won't even notice that it's there! good luck!

-Decide if you prefer to insert the tampon standing or sitting. If sitting is your preference, sit on the toilet. If you want to try standing, putting one foot on the bathtub helps.
-Hold the tampon applicator in your right hand if you are right-handed, or left if left-handed.
-Use your thumb and middle finger to hold the bottom of the larger, outer tube.
-Point the tip of the applicator toward your vagina, facing slightly towards the back. The smaller tube should be pointed away from your body.
-Use your other hand to open your vagina.
-Place the tip of the applicator at the opening of your vagina.
-Gently push the smaller end of the applicator in until it is completely inside the larger outer tube. This pushes the tampon into your vagina and out of the tube.
-With your thumb and middle finger still on the outer tube, release the smaller tube and let the strings dangle freely.
-Gently pull the two tubes out together.
-When you are ready to remove the tampon, gently pull the withdrawl strings down and forward.
If the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted the tampon incorrectly or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. If this happens, just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon. Remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated just relax and try again!
Good luck!
