Tampons

I dance and dancing with a pad is extremely uncomfortable. (I use supper thin ones which make it better sometimes) I want to use tampons but I’m scared every time I try I can’t get it all the way in and I just need some tips and tricks ig (since my mom and my dad said they are not buying them cause they want me to use pads but if I actually start to like them and tell them I feel more comfortable in them they will let me have them)
