Answer 1

Your plan sounds fine :)

TSS can be a problem

try and make sure you dont leave it in for more then 4 hours

:]

Answer 2

your plan is good! change your tampon at them times.

FYI - tampons can be left in for up to eight hours...so no worries

(:

Answer 3

Hi.  I'm was totally paranoid of getting TSS too.  Your schedule for changing is a good one.  Incase you get a leak you should wear a panty liner.  YOu can wear a tampon up to 8 hours, though I don't recommend it, just to be safe.  I hope I helped you, Good luck wiht your school year.  

P.S.  The OB tampons are really really small.  You can fit them in your pocket!

Answer 4

That sounds about fine.. You just shouldn't leave a tampon in more than 8 hrs. It also depends on your flow.. some people need to change it more frequently than others but if yours is on the normal side then i think you should be fine with that schedule
