Is it safe to wear a tampon to sleep in? I'll probably sleep around 9 hours tonight .. I'm just not sure if that's safe (TSS). If I wear a pad, it usually leaks and gets on my shorts im wearing to bed. What should I do?

I always leak at night on my heavy days too. And I use the biggest overnight pad with wings there is. If I am sure I will be sleeping less than eight hours, I will use a tampon and a pad. Otherwise, it's better to leak than risk dying from TSS.

Its totally safe, thats why they make them. If your concerned about it leaking though, you should wear a tampon & a pad to prevent any leakage. Make sure yopu get the super absorbant tampons though, because they work well for overnight.

no, i wouldn't take the chance. they make pads called overnight pads.

Im not really sure. I sometimes wear tampons for 9 hours. & nothing really happens. TSS is so rare. extremely rare. to be on the safe side i would wake up inbetween to change it. i guess its fine to just wear it to sleep but right when you wake up change it immediately. & put in the tampon right before you go to sleep. I hope I helped! good luck! much luhhv. xoxo Lauren ♥

well, if you wear a tampon. you should try to wake up in between to change your tampon. your only supposed to wear a tampon for about 8 hours. So.. maybe.. you should try wearing a tampon and a pad? hope i helped =) ♥ Brittany

It's not healthy to keep a tampon in for 9 hours straight at all. You could maybe get away with sleeping with a tampon in if you wake up in the middle of the night and change it. What I would reccomend is getting some of those pads that are made especailly for night time. They're longer and more absorbant than regualr ones. That should help keep it from getting on your shorts.

i wear tampons to bed, and a pad i've had my period since 5th grade... and now i'm going into 9th... i've been doing this since 5th and I'm fine... i would say you would be fine.. but if your worried maybe you should wear a pad and set ur alarm for about 5 hours after u sleep and change it...
hope i helped!

you can but they recommend not wearing them for more than 8 hours. some people do and are fine but you might not want to risk it. if you don't want to wear one then try a pad with wings and before you fall asleep make sure it is right so that you won't leak.

i wouldnt wear a tampon at night to be careful. try using pads with "wings" and that usually helps because it covers more, and get super maxi if it still leaks. also try not wearing your best shorts to bed just in case they get ruined. ur not supposed to wear tampons for more than 8 hours,and even though your flow is lighter at night-i still wouldnt to be safe. hope this helps!

I dont think that you should...and you could wear a pad normal in the front then up you back too I geuss...Hope I helped...xoxCaittxox

Yes, it is perfectly safe to sleep with a tampon in. In fact, they now make overnights for that purpose. I do recommend that you try to wake up at least once in the night to change it however.
Hope I helped!

Personally, I've heard stories that are true that because they wore a tampon to sleep got stuck in there and gave them TSS, they had to have like surgery my sister almost got that as well. I would put like paper towels down of where your sleeping enough to cover that area. or put on a bigger pad the largest you can find if you don't want to ruin anymore pants or shorts. But please don't wear tampons while sleeping it's dangerous. Hope I helped.
Buh Bye,

i think you should wear a pad, you could even use 2 if you need...its not safe to wear a tampon that long
]
if your sleeping more than 8 hrs, like you said 9, its not too safe, so it'd be better to wear a pad.

Don't wear a tampon for that long! You could try buying the overnight pads..they feel like diapers but they work wonders! Good luck
