You should always be using lowest absorbency for your flow (if white, dry, or brown in places after 4-6 hours you're using too high an absorbency), organic cotton tampons are best as they're softer and no chemicals to cause irritation, use lubrication when inserting tampons, and consider alternative tampons such as soft tampons or sponges which are soft and moistened before use.
If you find tampons uncomfortable consider menstrual cups or softcups - these don't dry-out vaginal tissues or contribute to cramps as tampons can, also cups are far safer and more hygienic so can be worn for 12 hours with any flow any time, and menstrual cups don't leak like tampons so all-round a better option.

Tampons are not more hygienic - in fact the opposite is true. Tampons create the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive within the vagina, by keeping flow in contact with the vagina they effect vaginal pH which allows more harmful bacteria to thrive, and tampons also prevent the vagina from cleaning itself. Thus why tampons account for 75% of all Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) cases and commonly increase vaginal infections. Pads or menstrual cups are far more hygienic than tampons. 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.
