Tampons

Hey ladies,

I am 14 years old and have had my period for about a year 1/2 now. I am a swimmer and have tried to use tampons multiple times but it is so painful. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or if something is wrong with my body. I was going to tell my pediatrician but my appointment got canceled due to Covid-19. I don’t want to tell my mom to worry her but I need some advice.

Thanks!
