Is it bad to wear tampons if your not on your period?!
Question: see, my period is irregular so i start wearing tampons about 4 days before the 28 mark. that way i won't leak or have one of those embarrassing moments. please don't say to wear a pad instead.. i hate them. they feel like diapers, and show through my jeans. believe it or not, but it doesnt even hurt to pull them out. odd?

I have mixed opinions about this.
I understand why you'd want to wear a tampon four days before your period and not liking pads because I believe they feel like diapers as well. I also have an irregular period too but I have never worn a tampon while I'm not on my period.
I would advise you against it because if you forget to take out the tampon and wear it for longer than eight hours, you're susceptible to TSS (Toxic Shock Symdrome). In addition, when you're not on your period you lack the moisture; therefore, the tampon leaves cotton threads in your vagina which leaves you at further risk for TSS.
I would recommend checking yourself throughout the day with your finger in the bathroom. Before your period starts, you will have some brown discharge and that'll clue you in to when you're supposed to get your period.
Another option is to use a liner in your underwear. I know you said you don't like pads but these are much thinner and will not show through your jeans. This will also prevent your underwear and jeans from taking serious damage from accidents.
Keep in mind- accidents happen and if you happen to bleed a little it's fine. Nobody will be able to see it or smell it. Just keep tampons on your person, and not in it, and you'll be fine.
no.
Yes it is bad..
Its even bad when you are on your period
Because of the toxic shock syndrome... it on the little pamphlet.
Before your day you should wear ultra thin pads.
only wear tampons when your actually on your period.
Yes, it is! They'll dry you out and can irritate you in there.
Even when you actually have your period, you should always use the lowest absorbency so that it wont dry you out.
Pads are annoying... just use liners on those days before. Some are so thin you wont even feel them there.
You should NEVER wear tampons if you're not bleeding. It increases the risk of TSS, which is rare but can be fatal. It is caused by bacterial growth. I don't know about wearing pads, but please find another way to deal with your problem so you don't make yourself sick
Why would you want to? Have you considered panty liners?
if you wear a tampon like that you can get toxic shock syndrome if you don`t like pads wear a pntyliner if your nervous but usually before you come on you cramp real bad that is a warning sign so u don`t leak by accident and you will usually feel it and have time to run to the bathroom to take care of yourself. i suggest just to look for the signs and do not wear tampons like that!!!!!
Yes dear it is bad. I suggest wearing pads when your getting near your start date. If you wear tampons before the period begins, your putting yourself in danger of TSS(Toxic Shock Syndrome) which can result in death.
As long as its not EVERY day, and you change it as often as possible and not leave it in there, just because your not quite on your period. You can still get Toxic Shock syndrome, just be careful of that and you'll be fine.
you wont get toxic shock syndrome but you will get excessively dry and irrigated. try a pantyliner.
yes, very bad. Do Not do it! you can get toxic shock syndrome, which is potentially fatal. Just wear panty liners, they are thin and undetectable.
Yes, it is, for reasons, one because Tampons have been shown to have a connection to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare but sometimes fatal disease caused by bacterial infection.
