Is it possible to be too small for a tampon?

I've made a decision, I'm too small for a tampon. I'm a virgin, I've gone through lots of tampons with no hope. I've tried every putting it in at every angle(45 degree angle, straight up, even angles that are obviously impossible), pushing, putting it in standing, sitting, one leg up, everything. I think I'm just too small for one. It won't go without causing pain. Even before I get it very high up, it's like pushing rubber against raw, dry skin (even though I'm on my period so it's obviously not dry). It just hurts and furthermore it won't move. So there. Just had to get that out of my system

I had this problem too when I was a teen. If your hymen is still in tact, it can be hard to get it in. Most likely this is not the problem. Most likely it is psychological, an unconscious fear of putting something in your vagina. It is called vaginismus and causes the muscles in your vaginal wall to clench so that nothing can get in. The thing to do is to not give up. First try putting some personal lubricant on the tampon before inserting it. That way you don't have to push so hard and cause some irritation. Also try doing some relaxation exercises and deep breathing, almost like yoga or meditation before attempting to insert it to relax your muscles and calm your nerves. It will take time, but whatever you do, don't try to force it in. That will just make it worse. The more relaxed you are the easier it will be to. Also you may have a retroverted uterus which can make tampon use extremely painful (I have this and can verify the pain associated with tampon use.) If this is the case, when you insert the tampon it is actually hitting the uterus and causing pain. Only a gyno can diagnose this so, you may want to see one.

ps. the lady above is right, tampax pearls are the easiest to insert and they just glide in.
