   the applicator should have grooves or ridges where you can place your fingers when inserting the tampon
   sit on the toilet and relax
   try to insert in to the point where you feel your fingers touching the skin and push the applicator to insert the tampon
   if when you get up you feel it (this may sound gross , but it works i do it)
   try and push it in a little further manually using your index finger
   if you still feel discomfort sit back down relax and take it back out.
   but you’ll know if your going to far and don’t worry it’s not like it’ll get lost and be floating around in your body.

   slide the applicator in until the top half is in all the way…there is a wider sort of ring around the bottom of the first half….then push the plunger part through the bigger part.

   All the way up to the ridges.

   Try it half way before the part you push up.

   I don;t think you’d want to break the skin inside your vagina but if you’ve already tried it that far.. go 3/4 of the way.

   You insert it until your fingers feel skin, then push it in all the way. You won’t lose it. If it isn’t in far enough it will hurt when you sit down.

   I’m not sure who is thumbs-downing every answer that says to hold the tampon applicator about halfway and itsert it up to your fingertips, and then push the applicator inside of your body, because that is the proper way of doing it.

   If it doesn’t go all the way in, you can use your fingers to push it in. The tampon will not go too far in.

   When I was still having a period I used OB tampons, which eliminated the applicator problem alltogether. If you decide to try the OB ones, they have no applicator. You widen the base of them and then push it up with your finger, as far as your finger will go. And thats about where it should be inside your body.

   Regardless of the type you choose, most of them have instructions which have diagrams in them. The diagrams will show you how far in they should be.
