Answer #1

Depending what part of the world you are from you can purchase a small bottle of Vagisil - ‘Intimate Moisturiser Clear Lotion’ (in Australia) which helps with lubrication or just buy good old fashioned lube it will help if put on the tampon or on you!

Answer #2

This may sound weird, but try putting it in with a mirror in front of you so you can see what you’re doing. Try putting it in at a 45 degree angle . . . If it hurts putting it in then use a thin tampon. I recommend using Playtex sport tampons. They are really comfortable

Answer #3

^ above, thanks for the help too. I was having problems with tampons, and I hate wearing pads because their very un-comfortable.
