when i first started using them, i was like 13 or so..and it took me a while to get the hang of it. if you have to, just use up a whole box trying, don't keep trying to jam one in there that didn't go up far enough and is out of the applicator or something, you'll just hurt yourself. The playtex gentle glides are better than the tampax that i had to learn on as far as going up there easier. Just understand that most women are curved, some more than others. so...it has to go kinda back and then vertical (head to feet type thing). If you can feel it in there after you are done putting it in, then it's not in far enough, so just take it out chuck it and try another one. I've heard that some people prefer laying down...and sometimes i guess it's good if you just went to the bathroom and you're over a toilet...but it's basically whatever makes it so that you can relax the muscles down there enough to not hurt yourself. Also, it's just like anything else up there, if there's not enough lubrication, it's not going to want to go in. just don't get frustrated...
anyways, this is if you really want to go the tampon route. Most everybody on here seems to like that "The Keeper" thing, so you might want to check that out. but tampons are at any gas station even, so if you don't want to buy stuff around your parents or what not, they're pretty easy to get ahold of. also, the ONLY pad i've found that doesn't totally diaper or have stupid wings that go everywhere, and still not be a dayliner, is Kotex Ultra Thin Maxi Pad..it's like..shows little pores or whatever on it on the package. if you open them up and they have a little white tape thing, you got the wrong one. i hated it when that happened to me. anyhow. i have to go drive 8 hours to michigan for college now, so i dunno why i'm even on my computer. hope this helps a little bit anyways..
