Hold the tampon with the thumb and middle finger the rounded end facing the vagina. If using applicator tampons then place the front half of the applicator directly into the vagina until your fingers touch your skin. Then use the first finger to gently insert or push the center of the applicator into the outer tube of the applicator. Pull back on the applicator with your fingers to remove. The tampon remains inserted with a string hanging on the outside. If using non-applicator tampons then place the rounded end of the tampon directly into the vagina, then use your first finger to gently insert or push the tampon into the vagina as far as it will go, aiming towards the small of your back, the tampon is in place with a string hanging down.
Don't be scared to touch your vagina, both it and menstrual flow is very clean, it's yours so no reason to fear touching that area. Push as far as it will go comfortably --- you will feel a resistance when it hits your back vaginal wall, which means you have pushed it all the way into your vagina and into the correct position. If the tampon feels uncomfortable, it's not in far enough. If it is uncomfortable push it in a little farther, or take it out and try again with a new tampon. If you are nervous and clench your muscles you won't be able to get the tampon into the right position.
Remember a tampon will not get stuck inside you, and it can not get lost inside your body. You can easily pull it out with the string, or with your fingers if there is no string attached. If the string does break and you can't get it out with your fingers, you will have to see a doctor right away.
Remove the tampon after 4-6 hours. Realize that if you feel some resistance when removing the tampon, it usually is because it is dry and can still absorb more menstrual flow. In this case switch to a lighter absorbency next time you insert a tampon. When you first start using tampons, you won't know when it's ready to be taken out. In a few days, take it out by pulling gently on the string with your muscles relaxed. Soon you'll get to where you can feel the difference between one that's full and one that isn't. After removing a tampon you should use a pad, this gives your vagina a chance to clean out the bacteria within the vagina caused by the tampon so lessens risk of TSS and infections.
Tampons and tampon applicators are not flush-able!
They can clog the toilet or the pipes further down the system. Some tampons can even make it through the sewage into the sea and washing up on beaches. Always wrap up your used tampon and dispose in the bin (most public toilets have toilets near the toilet for this reason).

It is when a girls vaginia had blood coming out of it and they need to use a tampon or a pad to soak it all up
It's about your personal preference. Pads are comfier and don't hurt in my opinion.
The only way is to use a thin pad as a backup
Well, if you have never got it before ask a female adult for a pad or tampon. If you've had it before stick a pad or tampon in pocket just in case.
You buy a pad or tampon and use it, try to stay away from cold drinks and spicy food as they cause cramps in some people. Oh and wear a tampon if you plan to swim. Good Luck!
Yes you can. Just use a tampon. Your flow usually slows down when you're swimming. Make sure you do not wear a pad
