Women under 29 are at the greatest risk of TSS because they don't yet have the antibodies to fight staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The only way to avoid TSS is to not use tampons, or to use only 100% cotton tampons. Use pads at night so the bacterias have a chance to die off before inserting another tampon in the morning. My daughter died of TSS and she was using regular absorbency in a 'name brand' which contained viscose rayon, the primary influence of TSS these days.

All tampons come with instructions on how to insert the tampon, there are also countless web sites and videos online to show you how to use tampons. Generally speaking tampons are simply inserted into the vagina, it's not complicated at all. The only issue is to remember to use correct absorbency and wash hands before insertion to reduce risks of infections and toxic shock syndrome.
