No, the sole purpose of applicators is to limit genital contact.
Applicators were introduced because the Catholic Church was concerned about women touching their own genitals, because it was too similar to masturbation and they weren't sure whether they thought this was acceptable. Applicators are largely only used in America, where there are a lot of hang-ups about touching genitals, most women use non-applicator tampons.
Non-applicator tampons are normally smoother with rounder tips, as they are more hands-on they allow greater control during insertion to insert easier and correctly first time. Applicators really just add to waste, and it's common when using applicators that the tampon isn't inserted far enough.

No one can force a woman to use tampons, if you are not comfortable using tampons then simply refuse to do so - explain to your mom that you are not ready to use tampons or other internal sanitary products just yet, also inform your mom that tampons are not more hygienic, plus tampons cost more than pads especially as you would also have to buy pads too.
