The website JG found is a good one and gives you all the basic information. It isn't a big scary thing... It's really very simple. The object is to get the little cotton plug as far up in you as you can, and there's no worries because your body won't let it go any further than it should. You can't do any damage to yourself with a tampon. Start with the smallest size on the market, and use a lubricant to help it slide more easily until you get the hang of it. When I first learned, I found it was easiest to insert with one foot perched up high (on the toilet set or even the back of the toilet), the hardest part is getting the angle right, once you figure that out it's a breeze... Don't be afraid.. Tampons will make your life a whole lot easier in the long run.
