Pads Vs Tampons

Carrera
14, only on my 2nd period so far, my mom CV wants me to use the Tampons she gets free from work. (Cardboard inserter) but I haven't been able to get them in. I've successfully insered a tampon once before but it killed me to take it out!!! Plus it was super uncomfortable!!! What do I do? (1st period: mid March, skipped April was told is normal, 2nd period started today during PE!!!)
