This article may help you more than the Tampax online site [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) If you Google "tampon insertion articles/advice" you'll find more detailed info on how to insert it for the first time.
As long as you are patient you'll get the hang of it and will be fine for Wednesday. My advice is not to be nervous or scared as that makes you tense up and actually makes it difficult to do it. The article should tell you about the angle etc.
Another site you should visit is Scarleteen which is a sex education web site made by professional educators for teens and their parents. www.scarleteen.com if you search their site for articles on inserting tampons or ask their experts on their message boards they may be able to provide charts etc. It's a great site.
Another alternative is buying a menstrual cup device that you insert and is reusable and easier to use. They are less common but thought I'd give you a link for info on that [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Ask your pharmacist about them.

Well let me start off by saying ASK MOM.
But I'll explain any way. Take it out the package, obviously. Then make sure you dont push it while its in your hand. Then umm squat. Theres only going to be two holes, the right one and the wrong one. The wrong one being your butt. lol So put it up the right one. Basically just push hard. If you go slow then its probably going to hurt since its the first time, so make it quick. Like a quick hard shove. When it feels like a pencil just went through a piece of paper then you got it and you'll understand what i mean when you do it. Then push the bottom of the tampon that is supposed to be pushed and then your done. Then pants up and stuff, close the toilet seat and sit. If it hurts then you dont got it in right. If it dont then your finished. Good Luck, and just relax like dont be tense and nervous.
