First time using tampons ? Terrified! How long to use it for ?!
Question: First time using tampons !? Terrified! How long to use it for !?
Okay, i have been using tampons for a day or two now!.
First i just needed it to go swimming, but now i decided to try to stick with them, because they are easier than pads!.
I am very scared though that i will leave it in for too long!.
I am not even worried about it being in too long and leaking, because i wear a thin pad anyways!.
How long should i leave a regular obsorbancy tampon in for !?
I have been trying to change then every 2-3 hours, but with my schools bathroom pass policy [only 34 per marking period !.!.!. about 45 days] thats verrry hard, so i save up all my passes for that time of month!.
But anyways, when i take the tampon out after 2-3 hours, i wouldnt say it HURTS, but its kinda uncomfortable, i guess it hurts a litttle!.
Is this normal!?
thanks so much guys !Www@Answer-Health@Com

I see that you have received some pretty good answers already , so i hope my two cents will help as well!.
The reason you are feeling discomfort is because you are changing them too often or you are not inserting the tampon correctly ,and I have to agree never leave a tampon in more than 6 hours!. So unless you don't go straight home from school you should be safe!. You also have to determine how your flow is !.!.!.etc!. light or heavy!?
Also you can try tampax slender , they are smaller than the regular or light-days Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is safe to leave a tampon in up to eight hours, but I would recommend changing (for hygiene) at least once during the school day!. After swimming change it right away, because the pool water contains substances which may cause infection!.
Tampons aren't the most comfortable things to wear, they take some getting used to, and yes they feel a bit weird when you pull them out so not to worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The longest time you can leave it in for is 8 hours!. Any more and you could get TSS [Toxic Shock Syndrome] Even though it's a very rare disease, you can get it from leaving tampons in to long!. Just let your tampon in for a little bit longer!. Maybe through the whole day and change it as soon as you get home!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
War Kittens, 6-8 hours!? Are you insane!? You are never supposed to leave a tampon in for more than 6 hours!.!.!. let alone 8 or you could get an infection/TSS!.
You could ask the other females how they're dealing with it!. Or use more pads!. You don't have to always wear tampons!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the reason why it probly hurts cause it is too dry try 4-5 hours and see how that is and if you go upt o 8 hours and it still hurts then you houldnt wear tampons cause your flow is too ligth!! :] hope this helps! :]Www@Answer-Health@Com
You don't need to change that often!. You can leave it in about 6-8 hours if you don't leak!. It hurts when you take it out because it's dry!. You're changing far too often and will get sore from it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well what brand do you use!?!? you can keep a tampon in for up to 8 hours! but you should try tampax pearl cause tampax pearl doesn't hurt when you take it out but playtex sport does!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's never comfortable!.
Try keeping it in for as little as possible!.
