Hey Onta,

This isn't a bad idea, but no, it's not typical. First, are you using the lightest type of tampon? Find the lightest and smallest/thinnest if you're having problems inserting. Second, I don't recommend using tampons before your vagina is bleeding enough to naturally lubricate it. Last, if you don't like using tampons, you shouldn't feel "weird" for not liking them. Personally, I don't usually use tampons unless I'm swimming. Part of that is because I'm on birth control that makes my periods very infrequent and very light when it comes, but I was never a fan of tampons. They give me cramps. Do what makes YOU comfortable.

Good luck.
