I found a site that might help you. http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/tampon. This may a sound a little weird but it may be easier to lie down on your bed a try to put it in. That way you can relax better, just be sure to lock your room door. Its best to use a tampon with an applicator though I've been using them for years and I still can't do it without one . If it doesn't work the first time try different angles. Also if put some Vaseline on it, it will go in easier. Just remember to be patient it may take a few trys.
Make sure you relax. Slip the plastic thing all the way in. It may not be the best feeling in the world, but if you relax, it won't hurt. :) Once you have that in, push the long thing upwards. This releases the tampon. Pull it out, and you're done!
Ok first just relax. I know it's scary and new but it'll pass. I know this may all sound gross, but here goes. do this in your room and lock your self in for privacy. bring the box of tampons, and a hand held mirror. To answer #2) Sit on the floor with a mirror. spread your legs apart and lean back so you can see your "area". With your fingers on one hand spread the lips of your vagina apart so you can see the opening. The opening you're looking for is just above your anus ( i hope you know where that is). #1) Once you've found the opening you want, squat down, hovering just above the floor, put the mirror under you so you can see what you're doing. (Now is the time that you need to relax. I know it's easier said than done, but you need to relax. for first time tampon users, it may hurt a little, but that's because you're so tense). Get your tampon out Hold the tampon with your thump and second finger, at the indented area. Slip the applicator in till your fingers touch your body and push the stick thing in till your fingers touch and pull out the applicator, the string stays hanging out. the most important thing is to relax. This is a lot of trial and error, but you will get it, and once you do, you'll wonder how you ever lived without tampons. Another suggestion as to play with a couple of tampons practicing the holding and pushing partbefore you actually try to put one in. You'll ruin a couple of tampons and they'll be garbage once they're out of the applicator, but it may help in understanding tampons. Talk to an aunt or the big sister of a friend that may help too. Good Luck.
