I ahve never used a tampon and im 15 1/2 and i dont know when i ever will.. I play varsity basketball and its hard but i deal with it...
Does that mean im really "tight" and that fingering would probably hurt more because i havent used tampons yet?
Thanks.

But once you get the hang of it, its really simple.
I found the easy way to insert a tampon is by lying down so you are relaxed and finding the correct spot for the tampon to go in with your fingers. Than lead the tampon into that area until the applicater is fully in and your fingers are just outside the vaginal opening. Than push the rest of the tampon in with the applicator wand until it is fully in and the wand tip is also just outside or slightly in the opening. Than remove it, and you should be good! You might have to push the tampon in further, but other than that, you've done it right as long as the string is hanging out of the vagina. Get up, move around, and feel the freedom it gives you. You shouldn't feel it at all, actually!
Removing can be difficult too. When the blood has leaked onto the string, its time to remove the tampon. One common mistake is pulling the string down instead of outward, which doesnt help. So relax, dont get tensed up, and pull the string outward. If it doesnt slowly slide out, and seems stuck, don't worry, it might not be fully absorbed and not ready to come out. But do not leave a tampon in for more than 6 hours, you run the risk of contracting TSS. (I find you can last a lot longer, but I wouldn't push this rule for the safety and health of yourself)
Though there is a 89% chance you are just having difficulty, 2% of women can not physcially wear a tampon. Problems could be genetic, or because of your hymen or many other things. Practice truly makes perfect. If you find a tampon impossible, check with your doctor. What the doctor says is the best advice and the one that should be followed (no matter how right I think I am sometimes :)
And thats it! Really, it's much simpler than it sounds.
