Tampons aren't recommended to teenagers due to higher risk of TSS, it's best to start with tampons and if you want to use internal options consider menstrual cups, but if you do use tampons...
- Opt for cotton tampons.
Rayon tampons like Tampax, Playtex, or Kotex should be avoided as they pose far higher risks of TSS, vaginal infections, irritation, and contain harmful substances such as dioxin. Cotton tampons are safer, also as as they're softer and hypo-allergenic they're also more comfortable - look for brands such as Emerita, Veeda, Toms, Cottons, Natracare, Maxim, or Seventh Generation. - Use non-applicator.
Applicators sole purpose is to limit genital contact, their use is about cultural ideas about female genitalia and not about ease of use, all applicators do ultimately is make more waste. Non-applicator tampons are simpler, have rounder tips, and give better control for easier insertion. - Always use lowest absorbency.
Start with the lowest absorbency you can, general rule of thumb is that if tampons leak within 1-2 hours its safe to use the next absorbency up, but if the tampon isn't saturated with blood after 4-6 hours use lower absorbency or if already using lowest absorbency switch back down to pads.

∙ 13y agoGREAT question! I am only 13 and I needed a tampon for beginners, too! I saw a commercial about Playtex Gentle Glides, and decided to try it! Unlike other applicators, this one's slippery and smooth so it goes in easy! I got it on my FIRST try! I read the instructions, and I was so happy when it didn't hurt and I couldn't feel it inside me! I DEFINITELY Recommend it! I would suggest the unscented slender light and slender multi-pack. That's all they had in my comfort-zone (small/slender) at Wal-Mart. When they say it's their most COMFORTABLE applicator, they really mean it! Make sure to read the info on TSS (Toxic shock syndrome) first, though. It's really important.
-Hope I helped!

You simply pull the tampon string gently but firmly - or insert clean fingers vaginally to grab the tampon itself in order to remove.

You can then insert a fresh tampon or reinsert the reusable tampon - although it's best to alternate with pads after tampon use.
