firstly i would recommend that you change from regular to light when you are on your last two days as it seems that the tampon is too dry for you as there isnt enough to absorb, you might also be changing them too often..
You def dont have an infection as an infection would be yellow or green and the fact that there is also no smell is a good sign. Maybe try some pads for a few days and see if this helps it clear up, you might just need a break from tampons for awhile.
im pretty sure this is nothing to worry about. :)

Hiya, sounds like the absorbency of the tampons was higher that it needed to for your menstrual flow so the end of the tampons were still dry. When your flow lightens use a lower absorbency tampon. Sounds like you may be right about the tissuey bits and there may me some extra blood coming out. However if it continues see a doctor :)

 Yes it sounds like the tampons make sure that you change your tampon every 4 hours as it can lead to an infection. If it doesnt improve go to your doctor. When your period is on its lightest days make sure you use light tampons and not heavy ones as this can also cause infection. But am sure you have nothing to worry about. Goodluck.
