Tampon insertion discomfort

idk quite how to explain this, i think im putting my tampon in wrong or something. this probably isn't the right place to be posting this but i cant really ask my mom she just makes me feel embarrassed if i try to ask anything about my period and i don't know anyone else. i normally don't use tampons because they feel so uncomfortable but someone recently told me you're not supposed to be able to feel it once it's in. i can always feel mine. i've tried looking it up but i cant find a reason why and i've tried inserting it as high up as i can. i've even used one of my fingers to push it up even farther but i still feel it and it's uncomfortable. is that normal or am i doing something wrong. and i couldn't find anything to post this under so i just used all of my conditions sorry idk if im supposed to do that.
