Any tips for tampons?

So I tried using tampons recently and THEY ARE NOT EASY

I tried one, and literally could not get it in

i ended up getting a new one, and I managed to get it in. I was so proud of myself until I realized I still had to get the damn plastic off.

the plastic DID NOT want to come off. So I gave up and pulled on it to get the entire tampon out, and what do you know? THE PLASTIC CAME OFF

So I thought, “ok I’m done“ until I realized I could not find the string. I had to dig to find it and in doing so moved the tampon so much it started STINGING

I had a horrific time trying to get it out but eventually did it

overall the process took 1 HOUR?

HOW DO I AVOID THIS EXPERIENCE IN THE FUTURE?

please help me

EDIT: i tried again but it still hurts a little. It has now been 10ish minutes and I can still feel it. Not like the top part but the lower part. should I take it out? It still hurts to like sit fully up. As I’m typing this iI’m currently slouching
