Tampons are just sandpaper from hell! They just suck up too much liquid and dry you out more than is natural /comfortable. I have no issues with tightness and still hate the feeling of tampons, so that doesn't really need to have to do anything with other issues.
I'm using a menstrual cup now, and it's so much better. All the pros of tampons, but so much more comfortable (at least for me). If you have no problem with inserting fingers, I can really recommend them.
