Why can’t I insert anything into vagina?

I’ve tried to put tampons in before but they’ve always hurt when doing it. I’ve looked up how to do it loads of times, I know where I put it and how to angle it, but it still hurts and won’t go in because it feels too tight. I’ve also tried to pleasure myself and insert fingers while very wet but again it hurt and felt too tight to put even one finger inside. I don’t understand, I know exactly how I should do things but they’re always too painful and my vagina is too tight. Why?

What kind of tampons are you using? Applicator tampons are usually better if this is a problem. Using some lube or Vaseline around the tip of the tampon might also help.

Could be a few things causing it, e.g. vaginismus or potentially your hymen. You would need a health professional to examine you to be able to say for sure.
