Tampons are heaven compared to pads!. Once you get comfortable with tampons you'll never go back!. But here are a few pointers for ya!.

1!.) To start, use the smallest size tampon you can find, (you may need to use a pad at the same time just in case the small size tampon isn't absorbant enough for your flow)
2!.) Make sure your tampons have an applicator!.
3!.) There are instructions in the tampon box which are illustrated and easy to follow!.
4!.) Apply a small amount of K!.Y!. Jelly to the tip of the tampon!. (It allows for a smoother tampon insertion)

I can see why you are afraid to use tampons because they aren't safe at all!. Commercial tampons are the most unhygienic menstrual option on the market; they are a wad of material (bleached cotton, rayon, and dioxin) soaked in chemicals during the bleaching process before being inserted into a major orifice of your body!. As well as preventing your vagina from keeping itself clean it gives bacteria the perfect environment to multiply in, leaves fibers within the vagina, absorb vaginal fluids leading to vaginal splitting, microtears and ulcers that encourage bacterial growth, erode cells on the cervix, and contain chemicals, bleach, and additives that increase growth of harmful bacteria within the vagina as well as have been linked to serious health conditions such as cervical cancer, endometriosis, birth defects, infertility and miscarriage!. Thus why tampons cause vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis and thrush, also why tampons cause toxic shock syndrome!. Tampax are known to be the most harmful and unhygienic of the harmful and unhygienic because of the materials and chemicals they use on their products as well as their poor history when it comes to protecting women
