Do you suffer from an abnormally tight vagina that makes intercourse, or even using tampons difficult or painful? The good news is that aside from the rare physical abnormality, the majority of vaginas can be trained to relax, loosen and accept objects such as a male penis or tampon. This guide will help educate you on the underlying causes of a tight vagina and on natural and easy to implement techniques to help improve its elasticity, loosening the opening and canal, reducing pain and discomfort. Cancer treatments such as radiation, conditions that inflame or irritate surrounding tissues and medications that affect hormones can all cause issues.

When your vagina feels very tight, as though nothing could go inside, you may have a condition called vaginismus. In almost all cases, the vulva and vagina are completely healthy. Primary vaginismus, where nothing has ever entered the vagina, not even a tampon, is common among girls who have had a very loving, but sometimes over-protective background. They may have grown up with well-meaning but powerful taboos around sex and find it hard to move past that.

At times, a woman may notice her vagina feels tighter than usual. Sometimes, these changes may cause a vagina to feel tighter than normal. As a result, some women may think their vagina is too tight, particularly if they experience discomfort or pain during sexual penetration.
