Answers:
nope!. TSS occurs when foreign materials are in the body for much longer!. the box says not to wear a tampon for more than 8 hours, but that is probably a conservative "safe" number!. unless a hunk of cotton was left inside after you removed the tampon you are probably just fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you are fine most times it happens when women forget about them and leave them in there for days!. If you read the side of a tampon box it will tell you all about it or the little manual inside!. It is very rare!. It is usually associated with fever, abdominal pain, and nausea!. You are fine i would not worryWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's fine!. You'll be safe up to 8 hours, but it's not recommended!. You would know if you got TSS, your hands would be numb and your skin would be cold and you would feel rubbish and would be in hospital, so if that hasn't happened by now you're fine!.

Try to limit it to 4 hours between changing, or at least every time you go to the bathroom!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, theres no guarantee that you will get tss even if you wear it for a few hours!.!.!.!.!.!.an hour isn!.t really long enough for the process of tss to happen!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
