Can you wear a tampon to bed?!


Question: i say yes depending on the hours you plan on sleeping.You should not keep a tampon in for longer than 8 hours due to toxic shock syndrome...if u read the box it will tell u all this imformation.I only get about six hours of sleep per night.So i put mine in right before i go to bed.And if i wake up in the middle of the night i change it.Well hope this helps

You probably can but I certainly wouldn't!

sure you can. just as long as its not longer than 8 hrs. if i know im sleeping more than 8 hours i set and alarm to change it.

yes but don't forget its in there when you get up in the morning to pee.i usually put on an overnight pad(which i hate) before bed be cause i used to forget that stupid tampon is still up there when i wake up

I do it all the time during my period and I have for MANY years. I just make sure not to leave it in for longer than 8 hours (usually I'll wake up and change it after like 5 or 6 hours when its really heavy, just so I dont leak)...but Ive never had a prob and Ive never gotten TSS.

of course! tey are much more comfortable than a pad just remember to change it...dont exceed 8 hours, set an alarm to wake up!!

yer you can but you have to take it out after 8 hr.

you shouldn't because if you sleep for more than 5 hours you put yourself at risk for toxic shock. just buy night time pads instead.

You can just make sure to change it right before bed and set an alarm in case you over sleep because you do not want to leave it there longer than 8 hours although i am sure if you accidentally did once or twice you would be fine anyway.

you shouldn't have it in for more than say 6-8 hours. however, I do use it when I sleep, and sometimes it lasts for more..
so far so good.

yes...i do...no mess=clean

You can wear a tampon to bed. It's safe to wear one overnight, as long as you change it within 8 hours.

yea you could but just as soon as you wake up change it

I have and I do wear a tampon to bed.

I don't sleep much so I change it in the middle of the night.

If you sleep more than 6 hours at a time I would wear pads, as tampons should never be in longer than 6 hours at a time.

Yes. If you are going to wear a tampon at night, then be sure to change it every 8 hours. If your flow is heavy, then change it every 6 hours. Just set your alarm clock to get up and change it.
