glad to help :]
i started using tampons the second month i got my period and at first they hurt me too. step one: CALM DOWN! if you are stressed and not relaxed when putting one in then it will hurt going in because you will tighten up. so just take deep breathes and relax. ok have you tried reading the directions that come with the tampons? they helped me a lot the first couple of times i used them.
even though you say that the slimfits hurt, continue to use them because it is so much easier to start out with slimfits then it is with a regular size tampon. what kind of tampon are you using? the one with the cardboard applicator or the one with the plastic applicator? the plastic applicators are my personal favorite because they slide in easier. now here are instructions on how to put one in properly:
1) sit down on the toilet or stand with one leg on the seat of the toilet (personally i sit)
2) unwrap the tampon and relax your muscles
3) slightly tilt the tampon towards your spine because that it the angle it goes in.
4) slowly & gently push it in
5) keep pushing until your fingers touch the opening of your vagina and until you can only see the string
6) now gently pull on the string to make sure it is in place
7) for about the first hour you will probably feel it just because your not used to wearing a tampon and your mind is thinking about it
now once you forget that your wearing one you shouldn't feel a thing. if it still hurts then it is probably in either too far or not far enough, and just take it out and start over. once it is in properly you should be able to sit, it just takes some getting used to. and then once your used to them it is like your wearing nothing at all ;]
just remember to not leave any tampon in for over 8 hours or you could get TSS (toxic shock syndrome).
good luck and i hope i've helped some =]
