really? wow okay I will take any advice I can! I am still young, but I am sick of having to not go to the pool or beach because I am using a pad.

I remember back to when I first started using tampons, I learned by putting vaseline around the applicator, it helped it slide in easier. Also, go slowly, noting the way it naturally wants to go. Like someone else said, you point it towards your spine, sometimes a little to the left or right. I know the first time I put one in was at a birthday party (in the bathroom with a friend telling me how through the door). I didn't have my period at the time so there wasn't that pressure to get it right. You can try it a few times when you don't have your period to get the hang of it. Just don't leave it in.
