Well. I have had a period for years, but I have NEVER been able to use a tampon. Ever. Whenever I even TRY, it's intensely painful... I can get it in about halfway, but no more than that. Ever. I think I've gotten one in, once, but it was so painful to take out later that day, that I had to sit in a bathtub so it would slide out more easily. :(
Well I read this somewhere that, you need to relax, and not think it is going to hurt before you put it in. (if that makes sence) Like just relax and think"oh yeah this is totally gunna work" I tried it, just stay relaxed and chill, it totally worked for me.
When you are tense it tightens up your body and makes it hard to insert the tampon.
So my advice would be to just trick your mind into thinking"no pain no pain at all" It totally worked for me, now I have no problem putting them in at all!
Hope everything works out! [ marsbars's advice column | Ask marsbars A Question ]

i've only had my period for less than half a year, actually i have it right now, and i began wearing tampons the second time.
i recomned playtex, the tampons are really good and have different levels of absorption.
in the playtex box, you will find a little sheet of paper instructing you how to put a tampon in, step by step. an easier way is to lie(sp?) on the floor on your back, with your knees bending and touching your stomach. use a mirror, and use a tampon without the cardboard stuff(the cardboard stuff helps you insert it). then you use the mirror, open the skin up with your fingers, and
and stick it in slowly. your muscles need to be relaxed in order to get it in. if you did it right, you wont feel a thing.
hope i helped
