How long should i keep my tampon in for?

Question

i wear tampons, and i want to know how long to keep them in for. i REALLY don't want to get TTS, or whatever it is. i know you get it from keeping tampons in too long. so how long should i keep mine in for? and can i sleep in them? or is that too long?

Answer 1

I keep mine is for 4 hours and i only use regular. You can sleep with them but I reccomend not. My sister got TSS from one and she got sick. During the night use pads

Answer 2

I sleep for about ten hours and I use tampons at night even though they say no more than 8 hours.  It's much safer nowadays to use tampons than it used to be, they like changed the way they make tampons or something, so I wouldn't worry much about TSS.

Answer 3

Change them every 4-8 hours, depending on how heavy or how light your flow is

I think you should use a pad while sleeping, but that's just me =]

Answer 4

no longer then 8 hrss

Answer 5

4-8 hours. if you sleep around 8 hours you could probably keep it in, but i would reccommend just using a pad.
