Question:

I have been using tampons for about 4 months now and i want to know if i can use them at night?

i know about tss very well and i know the risk is small but greater when you leave them in over 9 hours but no one in my family has ever gotten it and all the girls use tampons.i dont know weather that was just luck and i still have just as great of chance as any other girl who uses them or its genetic and there is just less bacterial build up in there?and one more thing i use playtex sport because i am very active and i want to know if anyone else uses them and the super hurts comming out ,full or not it still really burns comming out.it feels fine going in though.the regular dosen`t hurt at all coming out it is just a little pressure.


Answers:

I have left them in all night as long as i have had my period and have had no problems. though 6-8 hours is recommended a little longer will most likely not hurt you. The main thing is not to forget your wearing one at the end of your period, and forget to take it out.

As to the sport tampons I believe they are designed to soak more liquid so your vagina may be drying out so you may want to consider using vasaline on them or just changing back to the normal ones. I have never had a problem with bleeding through with just using the normal ones, and i play sports.
