Answer

Maybe this cycle is just lighter. So you might need a smaller tampon

Answer

Try kegel exercises:

You can do this before inserting a tampon, inserting it slowly, pausing and doing more, until you feel your pelvic floor muscles ease off and moving in slowly. This is also applicable to sex and fingering.

These are actually exercises suggested by pelvic floor specialists and gynaecologists to help train and control the pelvic floor muscles.
