Tampon questions

Hi everybody.
So I've had my period for almost 2 years now, and I've been using pads.
Over my last few periods I've tried using tampons. Dont worry I've read everything and I know how to put them in and take them out. So what's happened is that once I put them in it feels REALLY weird. Like, not painful, just like a weird feelings going on in there. Thats probably just normal? Also, when I pull them out it almost hurts a little. like not a lot of pain or anything, just a little but of hurt.
Any advice? Should I stop trying tampons and just stick with pads?

your probably not putting it up farther enough, thats what happened to me and I use to hate wearing them then I got use to it and now I dont even feel em

well my problem is they dont go up!I dont understand it!it feels weird to walk cause they stick half way out!maybe yours arnt going in all tye way!but I wonder why I cant get myne in?

stick with pads but still go in water I mean you have to shower down there any way! I suggest going in a lake on your period and bring a wash cloth!! and a scrubber!! then go swimmin!
