I am going through my period right now and I have never inserted a tampon before. I am having many issues inserting it. First it hurts. Second it just won't go in. I am using a plastic insert. I have gotten it in about a centimeter in but then it just won't go any farther. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to insert it. Also should I go see a gynecologist?

How to insert a tampon correctly?
It's best to be checked to find out why the tampon couldn't be inserted.
The first few times inserting a tampon can be uncomfortable. Make sure you are using the smallest, slimmest available at first. Using some lubricant such as K-Y Jelly can help as well. If you do not seem to be able to insert the tampon past a centimeter without pain, I would advise a visit to your gynecologist to ensure that you do not have any unusual anatomical conditions, such as an imperforate hymen. This can usually be addressed pretty easily with minimal discomfort. Best of luck!
First try to insert a single finger into your vagina, preferably with a little lubrication, even water. If this goes well, then try the tampon again with a little lubrication on the tip.
If still unable to do then a visit to a gyn will likely evaluate anatomy and also how to accomplish this task.
