Start with applicator tampons. relax when u insert it. using the applicator tampon means you will learn how far it needs to go and were it will sit comfortably. Once you think u know how far you can try a regular tampon. Hope this helped. Good Luck :)

ok, dont worry i admit it does take practice!
make sure you use your finger to direct in all the way in until you cant feel it anymore.(< This makes a massive difference)
plus make sure you remove it the same way u inserted it.if it hurts simply remove it and try again with a different tampon.
i remember the first couple of times i did it, removing it was painful.This is because they hadn't completely absorbed yet, tug on the string if its still firmly in place leave it otherwise it should be easy to remove without any pain .

It does take a bit of practice for everyone. The most important thing to do is to relax. If you tense up then it is going to hurt and go in incorrectly. Insert the tampon and feel with your other hand where your lower back is and position the applicator towards that area. Keep relaxing and when youre ready gently but firmly push the tampon in entirely.
Its also important to get to know your body so feel free to experiment in any way you like so that youre comfortable with how your body works. Its a little different for everyone. practice is the key and dont rush it.
You could also go to your gynecologist and have an exam even if its just to put your mind at ease. You can explain that youre having problems inserting tampons and they can check that everything is in working order as well as giving you a lot more detailed tips and advice on the best way to do it.

You could try to ask a doctor or a parent, if pain is worse then I suggest you definitely report to a doctor. Also, try to not angle it at all and gently apply the tampon straight up.
