Nothing embarrassing about it :o)
It can hurt to insert a tampon for a few reasons;
If you are not relaxed enough to insert a tampon, menstrual cup, or in fact anything else into your vagina, then it can hurt a lot because if you are not relaxed then your vaginal muscles and tissues are not relaxed, so not allowing penetration. Often this can be overcome by relaxing and adding KY jelly or another lubricant to the tampon wile looking in a mirror if need be to find where to put it, or masturbation as your vagina creates lubrication when aroused, it also relaxes and expands.
If you don't insert a tampon far enough into your vagina then it can cause serious pain, this is something I experienced myself when I tried a tampon for the first time, the tampon should go as far into your vagina as you can get it, if it hurts then remove it and try again with a fresh tampon.
Tampons are dry wads of material, the vagina is a moist area where the walls are made up of mucosa similar to what is within your mouth or nose, the mucosa is very delicate and has to stay moist or else it splits. Tampons can cause friction burns when they are inserted or dry out the vagina too much causing vaginal splitting. This can be overcome by using less absorbent tampons.
Commercial tampons contain chemicals they use to bleach the tampons, there is absolutely no reason for them to do this it is only done to make tampons whiter, the chemicals can be bad for your health, they can also trigger off allergic reactions to the tampons causing irritation. This can be overcome by using organic tampons, sponge tampons or homemade tampons as these are made form natural materials and don't contain chemicals.
Tampons can cause pain while inside because they are bad for vaginal health, unhealthy vagina often means menstrual problems such as increased menstrual cramps. Tampons expand when exposed to moister so can swell up adding to bloating, some tampons are also made so they expand lengthways, these can expand into your cervix adding to menstrual cramps.
Tampons carry a lot of health risks, as well as other issues such as their impact on the environment, and as someone else said if you are younger then you are at greater risk of TSS, you would also be at higher risk of irritation and infection from commercial tampons. You may want to stick to external options such as pads or padded panties, or even try using free-flow methods, until you are a little older, then consider safer internal options such as softcups or menstrual cups.
Nope, just relax.
