Tampons?

I'm 18 and I've been using pads since I started my periods seven years ago, but recently I've been getting fed up with wearing them, and the big pants to fit them in lol Plus it's not very practicle to go out clubbing all padded up! lol
I want to start wearing tampons but they're so uncomfy!! I've tried wearing one a few of times, the first I just panicked that I hadn't got it in right, and when I tries getting it out, it hurt. Ever since then I've not really been keen on them.
When I do use one, It's ok at first, i worry a little about it not being in right but It's ok...then when i'm walking about I can feel it, and it's not very comfy when I sit down. Then after a while it starts to hurt, and feels like it's coming out.
Is this normal at first?...will i get used to them?

Well....

Maybe youre not putting them in far up enough if it feels like theyre coming out. Sometimes it feels like theyre a bit wonky but when I use them they sort of bend to one side. Also, when youre putting them in, make sure youre relaxed because otherwise it will really hurt.

You will definitely get used to them. Make sure youre buying the right ones too. You might not be able to handle big tampons yet so try with the smaller ones for lighter flow and change them more often.

Dont know if any of that helps but stick with it - they are a lot better than pads in my opinion!!
