Try different brands/styles of tampon. There may be one that fits you better than the one you're using now. Some people like OB's, but I never could get used to them--I don't have a problem with the no-applicator aspect, but they just never seemed to fit me right and were always painful to me. Other brands, I never had that problem.
Also, the DivaCup or other menstrual cup may definitely be something to consider, for reasons stated above.
And yeah, don't feel embarassed about your period! If guys have a problem with it they seriously need to grow up because it's something that's just a normal factor of life.
