Question

Is it bad to sleep with a tampon ?

Answer 1

I think it' best not to--just to give your body a break, but I've done it many times--just change as soon as you get up--

Answer 2

No, it's fine!  Just be sure to change it at least once a day.

Answer 3

Change it every 8 hours to avoid TSS.

I change mine before I go to bed. Not an hour before, not thirty minutes before.  But right when I want to sleep, I go to the bathroom and change my tampon.

1. This prevents leaking if I am on a heavy flow.

2. I might sleep more than 8 hours and a clean tampon reduces risk of TSS

Answer 4

Its not bad, its fine, but ONLY if you sleep less than 8 hours. because you have to change your tampon at LEAST every 6-8 hours, so if its in longer than that, its really bad and you could get TSS.... so if you sleep less than 8 hours [make sure you have an alarm clock set or something], then its perfectly fine! :)

Answer 5

It's not healthy, but nothing will happen. I do it all the time, and nothing happened so far. Hoping nothing will. But no, it is safe as long as you change it first thing in the morning.

Answer 6

It's dangerous to keep a tampon in for more than 7 hours. Read the instructions for more details on it. But if you are taking a nap for like an hour or 2, it's fine.   Just make sure you take it out when you wake up.  

Answer 7

no just make sure that you take it out and put in a new one in the morning.

Answer 8

i dont see why its not bad. but just in case, just use pads at night

Answer 9

No. I do all the time, and it was recently proved to be safe now by the FDA.
