How to put in a tampon without pain?
I'm a bit new to using tampons, and I find it quite painful sometimes, especially when inserting it. Is there some technique or tip to put in a tampon without so much pain?

The key is to stay completely relaxed, as tensing up your muscles makes it painful. Make sure to choose a light absorbency tampon to start with, as they are smaller and much easier to insert.
Don't be nervous, my dear. In our times we didn't have these options, but they are very safe. Just take a deep breath, sit comfortably on the toilet, and push it in at a slight angle towards your lower back.
If you experience severe, unbearable pain every time you try to insert a tampon, please consult a gynecologist. I ignored persistent pelvic pain for years before finding out I had a minor issue that needed treatment.
Take your time and do not get scared. Sit in a relaxed position and make sure your hands are thoroughly washed and clean. If you feel any sharp pain, stop immediately and do not force it.
Just try to relax your pelvic muscles completely. Putting a tiny bit of water-soluble lubricant on the tip of the applicator can also help it slide in without any discomfort.
Hey, don't stress too much! Try using a mirror to see what you're doing, and remember to aim towards your lower back, not straight up. If it feels uncomfortable, it's probably not in deep enough.

Honestly, use an applicator tampon for the first time because plastic applicators glide in smoothly. Squat slightly or put one leg up on the toilet seat, find the right angle, and don't rush it.
I was so scared and felt a sharp pinch the first time I tried. Did anyone else feel like their body was blocking it? I found that breathing out slowly while pushing it in helped a lot.
