It depends on the individual.
Many who use tampons find them more comfortable than pads as pads can be felt, also if using commercial pads these can make you sweaty and rub on skin. Many who switch from tampons to menstrual cups or softcups will say that tampons are far less comfortable than cups.
Many find tampons uncomfortable because they dry-out vaginal tissues so can cause irritation, tampons commonly increase menstrual cramps and can expand into the cervix so cause pain, also with tampons you still have to use pads so you still have that discomfort and regular changes to deal with. Some people find tampons just don't work at all for them, so not everyone thinks they're comfortable.
It depends on what you consider to feel weird, if you're not used to inserting things vaginally it can be a bit weird at first - although ideally you'd have already explored your own vagina before tampon use. Tampons when used correctly can barely be felt, just make sure to use correct absorbency and relax during insertion. If you can feel the tampon as you move or sit it is likely that the tampon isn't far enough into your vagina so push further, and know to insert higher next time.
It may feel a little strange when you put it in if you aren't used to it, but once it's in, if it's in far enough, you don't feel a thing.
I personally love tampons you can not feel them if inserted correctly, so yes i would consider them comfortable.
most people say they don't, because you're using them when you're bloody and moody and cranky, and they're just bits of 1" cotton and cardboard. as a virgin, though, it kinda does for me...

There's nothing to say that you should use tampons full-stop, you have other options you can use instead. Jr tampons are light absorbency tampons, only named jr tampons in the US to try to encourage young women to use tampons earlier in order for tampon companies to increase product loyalty early. If you do use tampons you should always use lowest absorbency for your flow, if that means using jr tampons then those are the ones that you will use.

Your mum wants you to use a tampon because their more hygienic but their so hard to use PROPERLY and you dont find them comfortable any advice?
Tampons are not more hygienic - in fact the opposite is true. Tampons create the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive within the vagina, by keeping flow in contact with the vagina they effect vaginal pH which allows more harmful bacteria to thrive, and tampons also prevent the vagina from cleaning itself. Thus why tampons account for 75% of all Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) cases and commonly increase vaginal infections. Pads or menstrual cups are far more hygienic than tampons. No one can force a woman to use tampons, if you are not comfortable using tampons then simply refuse to do so - explain to your mom that you are not ready to use tampons or other internal sanitary products just yet, also inform your mom that tampons are not more hygienic, plus tampons cost more than pads especially as you would also have to buy pads too.

What tampons are the most flexible?
Either sponge tampons, soft tampons, or cloth tampons.Sponge tampons are made from natural sponge, although the sponge in its natural state is quite hard when dry, you moisten the sponge with water before insertion which softens it up a bit.Soft tampons are made from synthetic sponge, they are like thick disks which are very squishy and inserted high in your vagina up close to your cervix, they can also be lubricated before use.Cloth tampons are tampons made from cloth, sometimes they can be knitted too, so they are as flexible as the cloth that they are made from and how tightly compact they are changes flexibility.Some women find that using an applicator is uncomfortable, so they prefer a tampon like OB, which does not require an applicator and is easy to insert. All major brands of tampons, if inserted correctly, should be comfortable and flexible.
