is this normal for it to feel weird?
Today I put in a tampon for the first time. I had to push alot for it to go in for like 3 seconds, but then it just slid in. Is that normal, or is it supposed to just slide the whole time? Then, after it was in and everything, I felt it inside me, but it wasn't really uncomfortable. So I took it out. Did I feel it because it was't in far enough? Also, after I took it out, the tampon was like all open, is that normal? Thanks!

Thats all very normal. When you put a tampon in, you will have to push a little bit, then it should just slide in.
As for feeling it inside you, thats completely normal the first few times, because you've never felt that before. If you feel it when you sit down, to the point that its uncomfortable, then it isnt in far enough. If that ever happens, take the tampon out and put another one in.
When you put a tampon in, it expands to soak up all the blood and that, so yep, thats normal for it to be open when you take it out so it can absorb the blood.
Using a small tampon for your first time is fine. It's actually best for first timers. After you have been using tampons for a while, and you feel you can handle a larger size, go one size up. You wont get toxic shock syndrome from using a small tampon. The only way you can get TSS is if you leave the tampon in for too long, like 9 or 10 hours. TSS is kind of rare to get, so i wouldbt worry about it too much. There should be a pamphlet about TSS in the box of tampons you got, which if you read, is very helpful.
good luck!=]

It's completely normal, especially if you were nervous and tense. Try to become a lot less nervous when inserting it. Plus it's normal if it's open.
Yeah using a small tampon is alright, as long as you change it frequently since your flow is medium/heavy. You'll probably want to go up to regular sized ones, but for now if you feel comfortable use the lights. You won't get TSS from it.
I hope this helps you and good luck. :)

Yes, I think that's all normal.
About having to push hard for it to go in, make sure you are relaxed when you use a tampon, find a way that makes it easiest to put one in, such as sitting down with your legs far apart or something like that, that could help it go in easier. Sometimes you'll just have trouble, if you continue to, maybe try a slimmer tampon, such as Playtex Slim-Fit for teenagers.
You probably felt it because it was your first time having one in. Once you begin to use tampons more often you will get more used to the feeling.
Yes it's normal for the tampon to open when you take it out, this is just because it expands as it absorbs discharge.
A small tampax pearl is fine, just make sure you change it often, usually every 4-6 hours or even 2-4 hours to be extra safe.
