i just got my period, i was wondering if someone can break down the steps for tampons and give me some good advice like what to do overnight. And also, after your period stops do you wear a pad for the day you expect it back? or what do u do?

That'll help break it down more. You can leave the tampon in overnight. Just as soon as you get up in the morning you must change it. Dont leave them in for more than 24 hours or u can get TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) Leave them in no more than 8 hours. When it starts to slow down wear a pad. The day you expect it to come back you may want to wear a pad. yes. It will only last for about 5 days. The longest is 2 weeks. good luck [ Christine's advice column | Ask Christine A Question ]
