Hello,
Firstly, when you use a tampon, the size must fit correctly. If you try to push a larger size tampon, you are bound to have pain and pressure effects along with burning. Secondly, the chemicals used in the material can cause irritation in which case, the brand has to be changed. If there is anymore discomfort, please see your consultant for further care.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
