alrighty. i know what your going threw pads are so annoying. the reason the tampon hurts is obv. you have never had sex so yeah nothing have been up there before. basicly your trying to get it past a muscle and thats what hurts. i know it hurts but just put alittle push into it and you will no when its past the muscle because you can kinda feel it. but push it up pretty far it may seem like you are putting it to far but your not. you know it should be far enough when your fingers are barly holding it anymore. then just push and its in. if you can feel it then its not in enough. and you have to take it out and try again. and it hurts when you take it out bc its not completely soaked. you should use tampax pearl. hope i helped. also if your periods not that heavy but you really hate pads they have tampaz light. which are for lighter periods. or days when your almost done good luck. let me know if you neeed anymore help (:

It's always hard the first time you use tampons. It may be harder for you, however, if you are using a type that is harder to insert. Try buying tampons with an applicator, if you aren't already (it should show this on the box). Try to find tampons with applicators that are plastic, or that have a rounded end as these will be much easier to use. If you can't find this on the box, I would recommend brands such as tampax and playtex. There's no need to find the fanciest version, but I find personally that a good applicator makes a huge difference.
Also, it helps if you always insert the tampon at a 45 degree angle - think sitting with your back slightly arched. Always look to see where you're putting the tampon until you've had some more practice, and make sure that you're pushed the tampon in basically as far as it will go. One of the main reasons tampons are so uncomfortable can be because they aren't in far enough. As well, as you are just starting your period, it might be better to start with regular, ultra-thin or light tampons as the heavy flow tampons are bigger and harder to get used to.
Also, remember that you can only keep a tampon in for 8hours max, so as much as pads are annoying, it might be best to wear them to bed.
Don't worry - after a while you'll get used to all this =]

Make sure you're putting it in far enough, because not doing so can cause discomfort. Also, make sure you use the regulars, not the supers, if your flow is light, because if it isn't completely absorbed, it can hurt taking it out. And remember to relax, since tensing up can cause pain as well. Hope that helped. :]

Keep trying with the tampons. When I first started it took me atleast five months to get a tampon in comfortably. Trust me, it gets much easier.
