WHAT SHOULD I DO?

well gals, basically i’m here on holiday and I’m on my period. I’d love to be able to swim and jump into the water without having to worry about my bleeding. Now, the problem is... I don’t know how to use tampons properly. I’ve tried them twice and they hurt (cos’ probably I didn’t use them in the right way) , did u have this kind of problems when u started to use tampons (if u do so) ? What can I do? let me know 💞
