When you purchase your first box of tampons, it'll have an "instruction booklet" with diagrams. Read the instructions carefully and review the diagrams.
Once you're ready to insert the tampon the most important key to remember is to relax. It's not painful to insert a tampon, but if you're tense it could make the process a little uncomfortable. Before inserting the tampon, wash your hands with soap and water. There are a few different positions you can use to insert the tampon. Two such positions are either placing one foot on top of the toilet or squatting over the toilet; again you'll have to figure out which technique is best for you. Holding the center of the tampon between your thumb and ring finger and using your index and middle finger to hold the string in place, gently insert the tampon into your vagina. If you feel pain or discomfort, slow down and relax. It may take a while your first time. Once you've inserted the tampon and the center (the part you're holding on to) is at the entrance of your vagina, using your other hand, gently start pushing the exposed end of the tampon. This releases the actual tampon into your body. You know it's fully inserted when the end of the part you're pushing meets the center part you were originally holding.
Normally, women who wear tampons do not feel the tampon inside of them. If you can feel the object, it may mean it's not inserted properly. You'll need to remove it and try it again.
Don't worry; your first few attempts with a tampon may seem awkward. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes.
Tampons are great once you get the hang of them because they give you freedom you can't get from a pad and when your period is heavy you can use a pad and a tampon which gives you more security knowing you are doubly protected. Remember to relax tightening your muscles will only make it more difficult the key is to relax once you get the hang of it, it becomes no big deal.
Have fun at your pool party.
