HELP! Tampons for my young daughter??

Well this conversation was started a little while ago so this info may be too late to help but I'll share anyway. When I first started my period I wasn't able to get the hang of the whole applicator thing. I did however want to use tampons rather than pads so my mom got me the O.B.'s without the applicator. You have to use your finger which was kinda gross but I was able to insert them without a problem. Plus they are pretty tiny and fit in your pocket without a problem so no one knew I was taking one to the bathroom. My sister had a cousin who was the same as me and she told her about the O.B.'s so she started using them too. After a while I was able to switch over to an applicator but in the beginning the no applicator was a life saver for me. Anyway just thought I'd share. Hopefully everything is going ok.....
