tampons
I've read tons of answers to questions on here, tons of articles/diagrams online, & after all of that I still can't get a tampon in. I know about how long to keep them in, how to hold the applicator, how to get it out, etc. But I just can't get it in.
I've used a mirror, and I see the giant opening when I spread the lips apart. I put it in towards the bottom, but I can't see a clear area to push through. So I put it at an upward slant and push, but it goes nowhere so instead of the tampon going in, the applicator pulls back & the tampon just hangs there. Which ends up bringing me a little discomfort, and still no tampon inside of me. What can I do to make sure I'm putting it in the right place?
Any VERY DESCRIPTIVE explanations about where I should be putting this thing are greatly appreciated. Oh, and I've read the instructions on the box [playtex gentle glide].

Okay. First hold the tampon between your middle finger and thumb. Place the end of your index finger at the end of it where the string comes out. Using your middle finger and thumb to push, insert it into your vagina. Push it at a slant as if pushing it towards the middle of your back. Once your fingers touch your vagina, stop pushing. Now while not moving your middle finger and thumb, push the end down with your index finger until you index finger meets the other fingers. Pull the applicator out and your done. You may not get this right the first time. It also might be painful the first time due to a membrane that must be broken. Reading what I told you and the instructions may help you more. If this doesn't work here are some websites with diagrams that may help.
