hey, tampons are really notas scary as they seem/sound, i promise you. if you get tampax petite sized tampons, there are directions in the box on how to insert a tampon. thats how i first learned. there may be directions in every box, but im not sure. you can leave it in for 4-8 hours. putting in a tampon for the first time may hurt, considering your not used to having things up there. as you get used to it, you dont even notice that its there anymore. you can swim with it in and there will be no leaks, as long as you change it and dont let it overflow. there are also other tampon facts on the directions in the box. there is a disease called [tts] toxcis shock syndrome that you should be aware of.

They have directions in the tampon boxes.
A safe amount of time to wear them is for 4 hours.
If you put it in right, it won't hurt.
And yes, you can really swim with it in and no blood will come out, which WOULD be a good thing. =)

You should read the instructions in the box to see how to put them in and take them out, or im sure they'd be on a tampax or playtex site. but breifly, you hold the top cylander with oyur thumb andmiddle finger, and you have your first finger on the bottom end of the lower cylander. You push it into your vagina so that the first cylander is almost completely in, and then using your first finger push the lower cylander up. once its all the way up, you pull the upper cylander back out(the lower will come too) and the tampon stays up.
you can wear it for 6-8 hours.
It shouldnt hurt, unless you're just starting your period and theres not a lot of blood to lubricate your vagina. if thats the case, you can put a little bit of lube or vasaline on the upper cylinder and it will slide right up. it really owuldnt hurt too much without it though. it might also hurt taking it out if theres not enough blood in it, but you'd figure out how long it takes for you to fill a tampon pretty quickly. and again, it wouldnt hurt too badly, just a little.
and you CAN really swim, with absolutely no blood coming out. none at all.
