Do u have any tips for someone who is just starting out with tampons?!

Step1
Purchase the correct type of tampons. Tampons come with plastic or cardboard applicators, but the plastic applicators are easier to insert. Tampons also come in different absorbency levels and you should use the super tampons only when your flow is at its heaviest.
Step2
Wash your hands before inserting the tampon. You should also wash your hands after insertion.
Step3
Stand with your legs slightly parted and your knees bent. You may raise a leg onto the toilet seat or even sit on the toilet seat if it is more comfortable.
Step4
Hold the tampon with your fingers in the middle of the applicator and the tampon string pointing away from your body. Usually there are ridges on the applicator to indicate where to place your fingers, but they should be touching the area of the applicator where the smaller tube slides into the bigger tube.
Step5
Position the tampon at the entrance to your vagina. You may need to pull back the folds of the labia.
Step6
Gently push the tampon applicator into your vagina until your fingers touch your body and the outer tube is completely inside your vagina. Inserting the tampon is the hardest part and it may take several tries to get it inside your vagina. Try to relax; tense muscles will keep you from being able to insert the tampon. also, do not aim straight upward, rather angle the tampon toward the back of your body.
Step7
Push the inner part of the applicator tube into the outer part, pushing the actual tampon inside your vagina. If the tampon feels uncomfortable, you may not have inserted it all the way into your vagina and you will need to remove it and try again with a new tampon.
Step8
Pull the applicator out of your vagina, making sure the tampon string is hanging outside the vagina. The string will be used to remove the tampon.

Besides all the suggestions previously stated in the other answers, look for tampons that are made of 100% unbleached cotton and don' leave it in for a long time because it might cause Toxic Shock Syndrome. Use the ones with the least absorbency and alternate between tampons and feminine padsHealth Question & Answer

Try tampax pearl lites to start with, as they are very slender and have a plastic applicator and are excellent for beginners. Work your way up to regular size.

My first one took me forever to get in, and now I'm a regular user for at least 23 years.

and make sure the tampon isnt real dry going in...coz it could get painful...
and also make sure its all the way in...(just push until it wont go further...without hurting urself) coz otherwise..it could start to come out or be real uncomfortable when u go to sit down..

just take ur time putting it in...(not when ur in a rush) and be careful!
