It hurts to put a tampon in and take it out
Okay, so I haven't started my period, I'm 13 and I've tried putting a tampon in, it hurts so bad and I am afraid that I am way too small down there, and when I do get it out, it HURTS. I have tried fingering and it hurts so bad and it doesn't feel good at all. Is this unusual?

Gah! Of COURSE it'll hurt if you're not actually on your period!
What makes it easy for things to go in and out of you is the fluid that your body creates. Without proper lubrication, inserting and removing things can be really painful.
Tampons are made to, well, absorb fluid. When you put one in without being on your period, it will very quickly absorb the fluid that is in you and stick to the walls of your vagina. That hurts like crazy when you try to take it out. Same goes for if you use a tampon that's too high absorbency for your flow.
Also, keep in mind that you're young, and that your body still has some growing to do. And some women are rather narrow in general. We're all made with the ability to deliver babies, though, so don't worry: when the time comes, you will be able to fit whatever you need to down there. You just might need a little extra lubrication.

When you first start your periods,. it is a very scary thing. You are becoming a teenager/woman. Now Some of the problems could be that your using too big of a size of a tampon,. How my mom explained it to me is it should be snug,. But not have to force it in,. Try a smaller size of tampons.
They come in various sizes.
If this still does not fix this,. Then you might want to talk to your doctor about this.
Hope this helps:)
