Hi there,
Peeps was right. You are ripping the flesh off the inner walls of your vagina. It will be replaced by scar tissue. When that happens, you won't feel pain anymore... but you won't feel much of anything else, either.
Women who don't wear tampons have much better sex than those who do. The lost sensitivity, from the scar tissue, means they aren't likely to orgasm from sex alone, where other women do.
This is the truth. Don't believe it? Search and see how many women can't have an orgasm during sex to save their life... then ask yourself why this started happening when the tampon first began being mass marketed.
Have a happy period. :-)

columist peeps does have some good facts about tampons. the other columist do as well (dont wear a big tampon for a smaller flow). so i dont want to repeat anything. but when you do take it out try to bend your knees and try, it might help. when you put it in, laying down helps a bit. so good luck hun, i know being a girl blows!!! :)

[EDITED TO ADD: I was not at all trying to "scare" you out of wearing tampons. Every response I give on this site gives plenty enough information in hopes of answering any other questions you may have. Please check out my column if you don't believe me. I take the time to thoroughly research all of my responses so that I give honest, helpful information. I am only telling you the truth and I did answer your question pretty accurately. The reason you hurt when you remove the tampon is simply because you are pulling a bit of the lining of your vagina out. You can ask your doctor if you don't believe me and I'm sure he/she will agree that tampons DO that to your body. The low rating isn't a problem at all but I do wish you'd read your responses and take into consideration the information given (and the answer given to the question that is supplied). I researched a lot about tampons and I even gave you an alternative to tampons (the cup) in case of excuses like, "I play sports!"]
I definately recommend pads for your menstrual cycle. Pads can be worn during light days, heavy days, and even simple discharge days. Tampons can only be worn during your actual period or your risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome increases dramatically. You also do not need to worry about waking in the middle of the night to change your pad if you're not a heavy bleeder; however, with tampons they MUST be changed every 6 - 8 hours or bacteria will multiply so quickly it can cause some severe problems.
Symptoms of TSS include high fever, vomiting or diarrhea, severe muscle aches, a feeling of extreme weakness or dizziness, and a rash that looks like a sunburn. If you ever have these symptoms while wearing a tampon, remove it and tell an adult immediately. Have someone take you to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible.
When I tried tampons I ended up passing out over and over again within seconds of insertion. My body was obviously screaming at me that something was terribly wrong although nothing was painful at all. I often wonder if some other women have experienced this and thought it was normal because it definately is not okay to experience. I really believe it dramatically shocked my body and that's why I passed out.
My first gynecologist I had actually told me that tampons increased my risk of cancer. My mother had cancer before in her vagina area and was told to NEVER wear tampons again because if there is any cancerous cells in there it will irritate them and cause them to begin multiplying if they aren't already. My mother was also told to tell her female children this too since we are higher risk for that sort of cancer. I asked my first gynecologist about it and he definately recommended not using tampons because of the increase cancer risk.
The longer you leave a tampon in, the higher risk of TSS you are taking. Bacteria begin to grow in the warm, moist environment of your vagina. These bacteria can grow within the tampon, enter the body from inside the vagina, then invade the bloodstream, releasing toxins that can cause a very severe, life-threatening illness.
Tampons also pull a bit of your vaginal lining out when being removed, believe it or not. This is why many women who use tampons aren't as sensitive as they once were inside of their vaginas and why many tampon-users suffer from yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. The tampon also can leave particles behind from it, causing bacteria and yeast to grow on it. Another case is that women are frequently needing to purchase personal lubricant for sexual activities because their bodies have stopped producing enough natural lubricant to engage in such activities without problems.
The ripping of your flesh and leaving particles of material behind cannot be avoided when using tampons and could very well be why you experience discomfort with removal. I would be big money on that being the reason it is painful to remove tampons from your body. This will not go away until you become somewhat desensitized down there--and what woman truly wants that?! Please consider switching products for your own health and safety.
Here are some good websites about why women should stay clear of tampon-usage. Theses sites are pretty darn interesting:

I hope things are healthy and you find out what your problem is. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

The reason it might hurt is becuse the way you are pulling it out might not be the same position and angle you put it in. Its much easier to take a tampon out if you take it out at the same angle you put it in.

p/s- it also might be if you have a lighter flow you might be using a size too large for your body size/flow.

The pain is perfectly normal, you cant really do anything to stop it, you can try taking your tampon out while sitting down, that might help a tad bit, but if you havent notcied yet, the more blood there is on the tampon the less it hurts while pulling it out, so if you have a really light flow that might have to do with it too(:
hope i helped.
