I started to have problems with tampons after my third child was born and thought I was stuck with pads too until I came on here and somebody mentioned the Diva cup and other menstrual cups. I got one and it works wonderfully. I hate wearing pads so it was a lifesaver! The tampons would always slip or work their way into the most uncomfortable positions so I would have them in for a few minutes and have to take them out. It was getting really pricey to keep having to replace them lol!

Default tampons

i used to have real problems with tampons. i used to think 'how the hell can anyone wear these things!' they were so uncomfortable & really hurt. Then.......i realised i hadn't been inserting them properly lol. scared ive damaged myself. i used to push the tube before i had even pushed the thing. guess i was young n didnt understand the instructions *dumb* since i worked it out, tampons are like the best thing ever.hope u manage to find out whats causing the pain. t/c xx

Here is the one thing that has helped me...

Insert the tampon at a vertical angle toward your BACK, not at an upward angle (which is how I THOUGHT you should). I was putting it in at the wrong angle and had a heck of a time. They would not go in high enough and I could feel them. FINALLY I got it figured out though...

I hope that helps!
