Answers:
You have to be really relaxed when putting a tampon in. The best way to go about it is to put one leg on the toilet seat and spread the opening of the vagina with your fingers, then with the other hand gently slide the tampon in and push the plastic applicator upwards until the entire tampon is inside of your vagina. After you have inserted the tampon, throw the applicator away. You may have to push a little to get it in but if you're doing it right, it shouldn't be painful. Once it's in, if you can't feel it, you've inserted it properly. Always remember to wash your hands before and after putting a tampon in. You probably felt embarassed to have your Mom help you, which could have made you tense and when you're not relaxed, it is harder to insert the tampon. I use Kotex Regular tampons but you may want to try the Tampax Pearl since you are new with tampon use. Good luck.
