What is the perfect time to change sanitary napkin when having a period?
Menstrual pads should be changed every 4-6 hours, or more often if you fill the pad. This is especially important if using commercial pads like Always or Kotex which are less hygienic than cloth pads like Lunapads or Gladrags. It's okay to go a little longer, such as overnight when sleeping.
Is it bad to use lotion when inserting a tampon?
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.

Does it hurt when you put a tampon in that's bigger?
Tampon size isn't an issue, remember that your vagina is designed to accommodate things far bigger than a tampon, but tampon absorbency is an issue. Tampons dry-out vaginal tissues causing small tears in the vaginal walls, thus if you use too big an absorbency for your flow then it will have more of a drying effect so cause more tears - thus higher risk of TSS and more likely to cause discomfort. As long as you're relaxed and use the correct absorbency for your flow tampon use shouldn't hurt at all.
