Answers:
Honey, that's perfectly natural. I went through the same thing when I first started using tampons. It's not that the tampon is too big or you're too small, it's that you need to adjust the angle at which you are inserting the tampon. I found that two of the best ways for easy insertion are as follows: For home-lie on your side on the bed, prop your leg up on the bed so that your knee is to the ceiling, slide the tampon in making sure to hold it at the ribbed based, and push down on the applicator. For school-This may sound a little weird, but it worked for me when I was learning. Use both hands while sitting down on the toilet. Hold one side of your labia away from the other. Position the applicator like you would normally. Slide the applicator inside and depress the applicator base. Try to aim the tampon toward your back rather than straight up. That should work for you. Sorry to be graphic or clinical, but hopefully this will help me. I've become an old pro at using them now, so this has been a little weird for me to explain. :) Good luck, hun!
you prolly didnt put it in right. its really hard at first, but when you get it, youll never wear a pad again. just keep trying, and dont go straight up. uhh yeah.
