Here-To-Help answered Saturday June 12 2004, 8:16 pm: No...tampons are not dangerous...there's really no way how to explain how to put it in...I know the directions are cxonfusing but I'm not too good at explaining these kind of things. =/
You leave it in for a few hours...make sure you change it though...I think the limit is 8 hours (so just put one in before you go to school in the morning and then just take it out about an hour after you come home from school or something)...
I'm not entirely sure because different brands may say different things so just pay close attention to the directions and it SHOULD say how long you should keep it in for.
But DO NOT keep it in all day...you'll be fine...don't worry.

Also, I think that you should wear it for a day, but always carry spares in a secret compartment in your purse [ O_o ] just in case.
Honestly, I wouldn't bother with the tampon thing. I'd just get a pad. If you feel afraid that you'll "leak", wear both. [ Our_Triangular_Earth's advice column | Ask Our_Triangular_Earth A Question ]

NEVER leave it in more than 8 hours though, or you could get a disease called toxic shock syndrome. Wear pads to bed. [ GC_rox_my_sox's advice column | Ask GC_rox_my_sox A Question ]

Only wear it for 4-6 hours starting out, then at the end of your period, use it 6-8 hours. As far as being dangerous, well, if you think about it, your keeping bloody bacteria up in there. Does it sound dangerous to you, because I always thought it did. Hope I've helped some. [ cr8zymonkeyluv07's advice column | Ask cr8zymonkeyluv07 A Question ]
