Yes, it is bad to use lotion when inserting a tampon.
Nothing chemical should go into your vagina as it can throw off vaginal flora so leave you at higher risk of a vaginal infection or TSS. Chemicals in the lotion can irritate vaginal mucus membranes and can be more easily absorbed into your body via mucus membranes too. Lotions also often control some sort of silicone derivative or petroleum jelly that isn't water soluble so will be hard for the vagina to clean out, also potentially trapping bacteria and tampon fibers in the vagina.
If you need lubrication then use KY jelly or natural oils like coconut oil.

Can you use more than one tampon?
No, not at the same time.Tampons are a risk to health as they allow bacterial growth while preventing vaginal cleaning, and they absorb vaginal moisture that can result in vaginal tissue damage that allows bacterial toxins into your bloodstream. Twice the tampon means twice the area in which bacteria can multiply, and twice the absorbency so increasing risk of toxic shock syndrome.Always remove a tampon before inserting a fresh tampon, ideally use pads between tampon use every now and then to allow vaginal cleaning, and don't ever use two tampons at once.

Does it hurt to put a tampon on?
It can hurt to insert a tampon, but it shouldn't - pain is not normal when using tampons.It can hurt if you're not relaxed enough when inserting tampons because the vaginal walls clench together when you're tense, thus you'd be pushing against vaginal walls when inserting tampons. If you use too high an absorbency or if you use tampons you're allergic to this can cause pain, as too will using tampons without sufficient flow. You can also experience pain if you don't insert at an angle or if you don't insert the tampon high enough in the vagina.

Is it bad when your tampon string gets bloody but your tampon is only a little bloody?
Your tampon should be completely saturated with blood after 4-6 hours - if the tampon is dry when removing then you need to use a lower absorbency or switch to pads. If the string is getting blood on it some may be from blood lingering in the vaginal canal before tampon insertion, but it may also be that blood is simply bypassing the tampon. Try different TYPES (not just brands) of tampon, you may also want to consider menstrual cups which don't leak.
