Answers:
It sounds like you are using the ones with no applicator.. buy some tampons with an applicator and use those for a while. They will be much easier to get in.

Follow the instructions and it will hurt if it's not in all the way.

Make sure you're well lubricated. (I mean, you should be from the blood, as gross as it is.) I don't follow the "fingers touch my body" rule. I just put it in until I feel that it's by my pubic bone or when the end of the thick part of the applicator (the part that holds the actual tampon) is at the opening of my vagina. Don't be scared of putting it in too far. (It's not like it's going to get lost, right?)

You'll get it eventually. It just takes practice. :)

"Not some twit child." Hm.

Get tampons with plastic applicators, if they feel like they are too long for your vaginal cavity, get tampons that are "junior fit", "slim fit" or "teen fit". Read the instruction pamphlet and follow the directions.
