Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
Hey there, don't be scared! I have never experienced any pain from using a tampon, just a little resistance. With practice, it will be a breeze for you. I recommend going online and searching for some guides that will show you the steps:
After you have pushed the applicator in to where your fingers holding the grip are just touching the entrance to your vagina, use your forefinger to push the end of the applicator. The tampon should glide right out of the applicator (don't worry, it doesn't hurt). Then pull the applicator out, and you're done! You should see the end of the string hanging out a little bit. This is attached to the tampon so that when you are ready to remove the tampon, you can hold the string, relax your muscles, and gently pull it out. I like to have a tissue or some toilet paper ready for when the tampon comes out. Wrap it up and dispose of it properly in a trash can when you're done.
You'll be just fine!

The advice given by others seems to offer good suggestions. As a guy and a grandfather I would like to offer you some grandfatherly advice.
Questions like this one and other questions related to the health of your reproductive system are not sexual. They are health questions. Just because your sex organ may be involved does not make the problem sexual.
You current question could be best answered by you mom or older sister if you have one. They have been through this already and know you better than anyone else. Mom especially is the best person to go to with these type questions.
To be straightforward with you; there's nothing that you will do or have done that we as parents have not already done or experienced. For certain question parents are your best source of information followed by your doctor or maybe the other way around. It depends on the question.
If you are over 14 you have medical confidentiality when it comes to your reproductive system. This is granted under a federal law called HIPPA. This law provides for you the right to see any doctor of your choosing for questions or problems concerning your reproductive system.
You do not need parental permission to see a doctor or be treated by a doctor for any problems concerning your reproductive system. You can if you wish ask for birth control medication and the doctor must prescribe for you unless there is a valid medical reason not to.
Any visit and treatment is totally confidential. Your parents cannot be told what you and your doctor discussed, or you were treated for. Mom or anyone else cannot be in the exam room with you other than the doctor and the nurse. Should mom be with you during the visit or if mom should force you to a doctor; all you need say is I invoke my rights under HIPPA and mom will be told to wait in the waiting room. Nothing of what the exam showed or didn't. show. If you were to become pregnant you could not be forced by your parents to have an abortion or stopped from having one.
This is Federal Law which no state can override. Only you can release information on these medical records and then only in writing to the doctor. This law is not a license to have sex. It is to allow young people to get proper medical treatment when they may be too embarrassed to ask a parent. It applies only to your reproductive system and is in effect starting at age 14.

It hurts the first time you pull it out, and it can be pretty frustrating, but it's only a little bit of pain. Well, the feeling isn't great when you have to pull it out but the temporary feeling will pass. It's not as bad as you think, it's just the mentality of existing "pain" that is making you feel scared.
You'll be fine, FSHO

Its really just a matter of getting used to inserting it. You'll find that different angles feel better than others. You will become more comfortable with it eventually. If it's hurting when you push the tampon out of the applicator then try to adjust it to another angle. When its in you shouldn't feel it at all, if you do it may not be up far enough, or it may be in a weird position. Don't worry if you have to take it out and try another one! When taking it out remember to relax your muscles down there. It doesn't hurt, but if you're tense you make have a hard time getting it out.
Just remember that it's no big deal! All us girls have to go through it eventually.
Good luck :)

Um, you don't push a tampon out, you pull it out by a string. If the tampon is really wet from absorbing blood, then it should come out easily. When its closer to the end of a period and it may be more dry but must be removed, then it may drag a little on the skin but thats only a little uncomfortable but shouldn't cause any great pain.
One thing that I might add that is important as a female is that you become more comfortable and knowledge about your vagina, hymen, labia, g-spot, pee spot, etc...it is very important not only for your health but also for when you are ready, for the best sexual pleasure whether masturbating or with a guy.
So I suggest you take the time to do some self educating on the subjects. To start you off I would recommend someone who is a peer (age 23) but well informed. A gal on you tube. Laci Green
