Actual advice… try again at a time when you aren’t in a hurry, maybe after a shower. Use the tampons that have a rounded plastic applicator, and don’t use the collapsible pocket kind for your first try. Have your legs at a comfortable angle, keep the pelvic muscles down there loose, and gently try several different approaches. When at the real opening, there may be some resistance, but not painful - the mild resistance should give way all of a sudden. If it legit hurts, it may not be the way.

Try putting it in sitting down or in a squat and when you’re not in a rush to do it. And try to use the regular size ones first. Maybe it’s the size of it

That happened to me the first time.. I couldn’t get the tampon in and cried and had to make excuses why I couldn’t go to the pool when visiting my bf’s family 🙃 fortunately, that was temporary, and it became fairly easy once I got used to where it actually goes in.

I know this is absolutely feral advice but I kinda make sure I’m open a little bit with my finger and I get the applicator wet with my saliva and insert it that way and make sure it’s as deep as possible
