Ok well you know how vagina is supposed to look like? (I can't find oen of those sketches on the internet right now..)
Well I'm 13 and i got my period 3 years ago and i'm thinking of wearing a tampon but i tried looking for it and even looked at it with the mirror but it's closed and there's no huge hole!
You should have a look at this article and medical diagram as it clearly shows where the opening is and how it looks if your hymen is intact still which it sounds like.

At the top of the vagina is the clitoris (it's a very sensitive flap of skin used for sexual stimulation). A little further down is another hole (a very small one) called a urethra, where the pee comes out. In between that hole and your rectum (butt hole) is your vaginal opening.
Feel around with your finger and the only hole you'll be able to fit a finger in easily is your vaginal hole. Lay on a bed with your legs spread, put a mirror down there, and hold your lips open with your hand. You should be able to see it.
Michele answered Friday June 8 2007, 6:54 pm: Well I can't help you with the picture, but if you put some vasaline on the tip of the tampon, and just put it where you think it should go, and push, it will go in. Try that. After a few times, you won't need to use the vasaline.

EDIT: Sure, yes it is safe to use vaseline, temporarily until you get used to it. For many years, women used vaseline as a lubricant, in that area. So no problem. NOte: although the area of the tampon that has vasaline on it will NOT be absorbant, so you may have to change it sooner, so just use a little.
