Take a deep breath and slowly pull it out. It doesn`t hurt trust me :D

I know at first it hurts using a tampon, but eventually I'm sure you'll use it every month! You got the applicator in, great. now you just have you make sure it is at LEAST a bit more than half way in, then push in the tampon. It will hurt, taking it out, but only a bit! If you need to, you can ask your mother for lubricant for your tampons, to get them in easily. And never believe the packaging! only leave them in for up to six hours. But try not to leave it in for less than three. Once I left it in for only two hours, and it didn't aborb enough blood, so it was kind of dry and it hurt quite a bit to get out. --good luck-- hope I helpedd!

Hey there!
Don't be scared! First you should realize that you don't push the old tampon out, you pull it out via the string that is attached. It shouldn't hurt at all, not a bit!
If it hurts at all, the likely reason is that you changed it too soon and it was still dry, or you've possibly left it in too long and are developing an infection.
While tampons do seem to make life a lot easier than a pad would, they're also a lot more dangerous. So you have to be careful when using them. You need to change them often, always wash your hands before and after, and take care when inserting the applicator so that you don't accidentally scratch the inner walls of your vagina.
You can get pretty severe infections from doing that as well as from leaving them in for too long. Don't be scared though! I've been using them for, gosh, like fifteen years now? I've never had an infection or problem with using them. So I don't want to scare you away from them, just caution you to make sure you're using them properly and let you know not to be scared to take them out.
Oh while I'm thinking about it. Try looking into "Organyc" tampons. I use them and they're all natural cotton without any harmful chemicals or perfumes that have been linked to irritation and cancers like in regular tampons. I love them!
Good luck and don't be afraid! Soon enough it will all come naturally to you and will be really easy and effortless. May God bless you, dear!
