Answer #1

yes it is bad wear a pad to bed buy a normal pad or an overnight pad there much better than tampons anyway and will abosrob more blood

Answer #2

Yea they say change tampons every four hours a least. I wear pads to bed when you are heavy flow just wear a maxi nite time pad and some old panties.

Answer #3

TSS is curable but only if its identified. if you hurt, get irritated or feel uncomfortable its a sign to take it out but remember that cotton fibres tear off the tampon and stay in your system so the longer they in for the higher the infection chances are.

rather wear a pad to sleep even though its not as comfortable and all.

Answer #4

No its fine. Its soo rare to get TSS. It mainly happens if you leave a tampon in from the last day of your period to the first day of your next, on accident. Your fine,dont worry about it!

Answer #5

it’s not recommended to wear tampons to bed. once or twice won’t cause you to get anything bad, but don’t do it every time.

The reason is because tampons need to be removed every 4-6 hours and most people sleep longer than that. it’s then not healthy for you to leave it in for longer.

Also Toxic Shock Syndrome is VERY rare, and if you are clean (even if you leave in the tampon a bit longer) you shouldn’t get it.
