Inserting an applicator tampon:
&hearts, First step is to decide what tampons you are going to use. There are lots of brands you can choose from at your supermarket, look for ones that say "easy to insert" on the box. Do not get super tampons. You want the lowest absorbency possible so that the tampon is smaller and it will come out easily, if you find they leak then you can then switch to a higher absorbency.
&hearts, Don't over think it! There's no harm in trying, no one is there to judge you. Take a box of tampons into the bathroom and take all the time you need. If you can't get it in at least you tried!
Tip: When you first use a tampon you should use it during the heaviest part of your period. It will make it easier to insert and remove.
&hearts, Wash your hands. It's not essential if you're using applicator tampons but washing your hands is always a good idea. If you're in a public toilet and don't want to look weird washing your hands before going into the cubical then you could carry hand sanitizer in your bag or purse.
&hearts, Breathe and stay calm. If you're tense it will make it painful to insert. You could listen to some music as a distraction. Sing along so you're focusing on something else.
&hearts, Get into a comfortable position. Place one leg on the toilet, sit on the toilet with your legs spread apart, or stand with your legs apart and bend your knees. I recommend the second position. It's the easiest to get into, most practical for public toilets, the most comfortable and you won't drip onto the floor of the bathroom.
