Brief Answer:
Use a pea size ointment locally.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If erection of your partner is normal you can try few of the following.
1. Try using your fingers and see if there is any obstruction. If you can successfully insert two fingers, this will be enough to penetrate.
2. Use lots of lubrication/Vaseline.
You can use a pea size lignocaine ointment in and around the vagina just before starting foreplay.
If the problem still persists, get your self evaluated for narrow hymen.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A numbness caused by local lignocaine jelly lasts for around 10 minutes only. it is best to apply it once around the vagina and in upper one third of vagina by inserting a finger to be completely numb. You can use it daily once. Your partner needs to use a condom to avoid the effect of numbness.
Hope my answer is helpful.
