When inserting a tampon angle it towards your lower back (the top of your butt). If you can still feel it after inserting you didn't put it in far enough (almost everyone does this first time using tampons)

∙ 9y agoA tampon should be inserted towards the small of your back or your bottom, depending on the position you're in during insertion - sitting or standing with one leg up works best. It's a good idea to use non-applicator tampons as these allow you to feel for resistance to change angle when needed to guide the tampon up through the vaginal canal, non-applicator are simpler to use too.
You should explore your genitals with your fingers first to get an idea of the curve of your vaginal canal and feel how the vaginal walls close around your finger or clench together if you tense-up.
