Brief Answer:
It is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Experiencing a mild pain on putting the finger or tampon inside the vaginal opening is a normal finding. This pain will decrease after you have intercourse 2-3 times.
You can try to put your little finger after applying vaseline for lubrication. It will help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

I have tried my little finger severally too.
How can I tell if it is not a case of vaginismus?

It is vaginismus.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It is vaginismus. This usually decreases after proper foreplay before having sex. It can be decreased after masturbation also.
