Tampons & tightness 🍯

So I’m currently 17 and I started using tampons for the first time, but whenever I try put it in IT HURTS SO BAD. Like unbearable type of stinging. And I’m unable to put it in deep either because it stings so when I use them it’s usually just by the entrance partially and even then it’s still uncomfortable.

I’m not sure what to do because even when my bf fingers me, he’s unable to use more than 1 finger as it hurts so badly, even if I’m sufficiently lubricated and I’m dreading the thought of sex because if the pain is this bad for a tampon and maybe 2 fingers then I don’t know ...

Anyone else have or had this problem? I’m quite stuck right now
