Tampax

So, Tampax was my first tampon and I immediately had a problem. They were uncomfortable, itchy... Just terrible. So I was having a heavy flow and now I'm good at using them, I tried to put one in after the shower, it wouldn't push. I took it out and it was very hard to get out. I tried another one, thinking that one was faulty. I got it in, but I had to use two hands still. I stood up and immediately felt itchy and uncomfortable. I took it out immediately (it hurt to get out, but I can tell it wasn't from dryness) and got out one of those U by Kotex clicks and had no problem. They were comfortable and went in easily. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me?
