I’d follow up with a gynecologist to see if there’s anything physically causing the discomfort, like vaginismus, an imperforate hymen, retroverted uterus, or endometriosis. In the meantime, you might find a disc more comfortable. They sit above your vaginal canal, in the fornices, which often makes them more comfortable for people who struggle with tampons. I know I prefer them over tampons. You can try disposable ones before committing to a reusable. SoftDisc is good.
