Ever since then I haven't been able to fit them in--it's just too painful to try and deal with insertion when clearly it's not going to work.So I a wondering, what is the deal? I am not sexually active right now, and haven't been regularly active in a little less than a year, and even then I wasn't having sex, so I know it isn't an STD. I am thinking that maybe it is because of the lack of activity in that area, but that seems odd because there have been times in the past when I've gone the same amount of months and didn't seem to have this problem.

 Go to the doctor you may have an infection and explain this problem about inserting tampons to him/her. You can use tampons even if you are not sexually active. Use sanitary towels from now on and make sure when you have a period wash yourself there regularly with a mild unscented soap. Hope this he;ps. Dusky xxx

Im sending you a link you may need a visit to your doc love as you are used to using them and either your flow has lightened so its harder to insert or you could have a vulvar problem that can cause sudden pain.

I think it is probably psychological - if your nervous of the pain then your muscles will contract. But you may want to pop to your Dr just to be checked over in case it's physical.
I don't know if they sell them in US but here in UK you can buy lubricated tampons and also very small ones without an aplicator which you may find easier to cope with.
