How to insert a tampon?

I have a box near small cartoon instructions but I can't work out where on earth to insert it (I know embarrasing)...I know it needs to be put contained by at an angle in my vag**a but where on earth is that? I am worried that my hymen is too intact and I don't want fibres from the tampon coming past its sell-by date when I try to insert it because I am already worried about TSS even though it's special. I don't want to injure myself down there. Obviously in that must be a space to insert it because I have have my period and blood have come out onto the pad etc. I own slim tampons (my period is vastly light).

I know it's (vag**a) in the middle between my pee hole (how big is that?) and my bum hole (sorry for person so truthful in a fruitless way!).
I am worried that I might try and put it near/in my pee hole accidently. I don't enjoy a small handheld mirror (I can't find it). Just a massive cupboard which is a mirror.

I am so nervous and worrid in the order of it. I also have tampons which are from 2004 which are still contained by the packet and wrapped.
Answers:

Is it supposed to be really wet during sex?

honey this is something you unmistakably need to cooperate to your mother about. Also sort sure that you are using the applicator as it is a lot easier than lacking.

I would also suggest using a plastic applicator as with wispy periods it's complex to push in the carboard ones.
