well its really easy if you follow the instructions that come with the tampons. normally they are in the box or actually on the box. but i'll explain anyway.
yes you are right it does go in between the flaps of the vagina and yes the hole does look too small...but trust me it will fit. if you are too scared then try buying slimfit tampons to start out with. that is what i did. whatever you do don't start out with super ones. they are fatter then most tampons.
okay so on to insterting it. just grip the tampon with two fingers (i use index and thumb) while sitting on the toilet. then slowly start to push it into the hole. it might feel weird at first, but keep going. it shouldn't hurt. if it does then try wetting the plastic. then push it all the way in until your fingers reach the whole on a slight angle towards your spine. once your fingers touch then you can push the part that will release the tampon. this part will feel the weirdest. just go slowly at first. once the tampon is fully in you can remove the applicator and viola! your done.
it might feel weird at first because you'll know its in their but after a little while you'll forget. but again i highly recommend starting out using slim fit tampons.
good luck =]

Haha it doesnt really gross me out as much as actually putting one in, but you get used to it. Basically you just need to read the instructions on the box. I know you feel weird about shoving something up your vagina that looks to big (haha) but it really isn't. You just need to kinda put it in. Its not as hard as it seems. Just make sure its not too close to the part where the pee comes out or to your hole in your butt. Haha. And it doesnt hurt, it feels awkward but it doesnt hurt (unless you put it in wrong, if you did then pull it out and try again with a new one)

Well to be honest I haven't used a tampon yet. There are obviously advantages to using them, but I just keep putting it off.
So I am probably not the best person to ask about this question, however, when I was in junior high, my teacher gave me a pamphlet that really explains everything, and pre answers questions. So If you have questions, then you should probably either talk to an adult, or go online and google it.
I'm pretty sure that the first time you use one it will hurt alittle bit, but after awhile it will probably not bother you at all.
It is perfectly natural to be aprehensive when it comes to these situations, and it is great that you are going out and getting advice. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you more advice, but I son't think that I should give you advice if I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm glad that you asked me though. It's really flattering. And if you have any other qustions feel free to ask away. Good Luck! Lots of love
