If you don't know how to use tampons it's best that you don't - learn more about tampon use, tampon risks, and the precautions you need to follow to reduce your risks. You also don't go from pads to tampons, when you use tampons you still have to use pads: before your period, on light days, overnight while sleeping, if you have a vaginal infections, and it's best to alternate with pads. Consider safer options like menstrual cups or softcups, but if still determined to use tampons then just talk to your mom and she'll help you learn more - it's your responsibility to learn correct tampon use.

How do you get a tampon inserted?
You take the wrapper off the tube. Spread your legs. Relax and gently guide the plastic applicator into your vagina. You should be holding the applicator by the grips. The applicator in so far that your fingers are against your skin. Then push the button thing gently. You must go slow. Then take the applicator out.

Should you wear a tampon when receiving a massage though your period is not on?
No, tampons should only be used when you're on your period. Never use when not menstruating as this will be uncomfortable and potentially increase your risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome. There's absolutely no reason to use tampons when not on your period, having a massage makes no difference: there's no reason why you should need to use tampons while having a massage.
Should you wash the plastic tampon applicator?
The plastic part of the tampon doesn't stay inside you. It's the applicator that helps you insert the tampon. You insert the applicator part way, until the ridged "grips" are at the opening of the vagina. Then you push the bottom part of the applicator to insert the tampon into your vagina, then remove both parts of the applicator. If this isn't obvious from my description, try inserting it into a "pretend" vagina that you make with your fisted hand. One practice run ought to make it clearer.

What tampons are the most flexible?
Either sponge tampons, soft tampons, or cloth tampons.Sponge tampons are made from natural sponge, although the sponge in its natural state is quite hard when dry, you moisten the sponge with water before insertion which softens it up a bit.Soft tampons are made from synthetic sponge, they are like thick disks which are very squishy and inserted high in your vagina up close to your cervix, they can also be lubricated before use.Cloth tampons are tampons made from cloth, sometimes they can be knitted too, so they are as flexible as the cloth that they are made from and how tightly compact they are changes flexibility.Some women find that using an applicator is uncomfortable, so they prefer a tampon like OB, which does not require an applicator and is easy to insert. All major brands of tampons, if inserted correctly, should be comfortable and flexible.
What can help a heavy period?

Do you have to be on your period to use tampons?
You should only insert tampons during menstruation (or a withdrawal bleed).You can physically insert a tampon when not menstruating, but there's no need to do so and it is potentially dangerous to wear tampons when not menstruating. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing splitting that can allow TSST-1 toxins responsible for Toxic Shock Syndrome into the bloodstream, without blood tampons will have more of a drying effect so increase the risk.
