Tampon in for 8 hrs 30 minutes?!
Question: I want to wear a tampon to bed but I'm gonna be sleeping for a half hour more than 8 hours. Is that ok because it's only 30 minutes? Or should I wear a pad instead?

Don't listen to the other idiots, they dont know what their talking about... Do you know ANYONE who has ever gotton TSS? It's extremely rare and VERY uncommon... You could wear a tampon for 3 days and probably be fine... They always have to include overly cautious warnings on tampon boxes because they dont want to get sued IN CASE you are one in the 100 billion that happens to get it.... *relax*
I always wear tampons for bed and I sleep longer than that. It will be ok just make sure you change it in the morning. It's of course healthier to wear a pad but tampons are better to sleep in.
WEAR A PAD! Thats um... gross. Ive never worn a tampon more than 2 hours. TSS! Hello?
You'll most likely be fine. Put it in as soon before you go to bed as you can, make sure your hands are clean and take it out first thing in the morning.
I would say wear a pad. it is better to be safe than sorry. Also with tampons ideally you would change them every 4 hours or so.
Use a pad
have you heard of TSS?
Your taking a big risk if you sleep in a tampon.
You think it won't happen to you but when it does, know one else is to blame but yourself.
I use night pads and you should start getting used to it.
Good Luck :)
Research shows that the risk of TSS from using a tampon overnight is relatively low. You could find this information in the literature accompanying the tampons. It gives good info on how to use, when to change, etc. I personally don't use anything but tampons, and haven't had any problems in over 20 years!
PADDDD!!!!!!! unless u want to get TSS
it depends on how heavy ur flow is, if mine is heavy and i sleep more that 8 hrs and 30 mins, so if mines heavy i sleep w/ pad for the fear of tss but if its lite i sleep w/ tampon
It'll be fine, I wear them way longer than that all the time.
yiu can wear a tampon for as long as YOU want...BUT the toxic shock syndrome is always a problem that a women who wears tampons can get..the only way to not be suseptible to TSS is to just not wear the tampon..but they are much more comfortable and cleaner then a pad..it is strictkly your choice but 8 hrs. is the limit on the advice of the fds...cat-cat
I always wear tampons to bed. I sleep 8-9 hours. Just be sure to take it out as soon as you wake up.
You will most likely be fine. You will know if it needs changed before then. Remember to use the appropriate size for your flow and you shouldn't have any problems with TSS. If you decide you don't like wearing it that long then switch to pads.
Its bad to wear tampons for longer than 8 hours, your supposed to wear them for 4-6 hours to prevent TSS, which can happen if the tampon is left in for more than 6 hours. Pads are better for sleeping
