What happens if you wear a tampon too long?

is it dangerous to leave in a tampon for like, 7 hours, knowing nothing is going to come out in it? or putting in 3 tampons in 2 days, knowing nothing will come out? I won’t get TSS, will I? thx

Answer #1

okay that helped alot i’m not going to wear them as often anymore i just don’t know sometimes if i’m anything is going to come out or not thanks

Answer #2

It is a risk… because it holds bacteria in the vagina for a long period of time… and the bacteria grows and can cause an infection or lead to death(if it becomes too toxic).

It is recommended that you change tampons every 4 hrs or less. (even though the boxes say 4-8hrs) And use pads at night to sleep.

Before clothing and feminine products were invented… the menstral flow just …well came out and fell to the ground how other mammals do.
