Hey, I understand the hating of purses totally.
Your gym back would definitely work. You could also buy a tampon case (they look like glasses cases, only they open differently). Or you could even buy a glasses case to keep them in.
Also, Tampax makes compact tampons that are easy to carry around. You can't tell what they are unless you know what they are, and a lot of guys don't.
5 1/2 hours is definitely not too long. I always leave mine in for like 8 hours and nothing has ever happened to me. TSS is extremely rare, and occurs when bacteria forms. You don't really need to worry about that as long as you don't leave tampons in for like...12 hours at a time.
Anyway.
Go for the Tampax compact(s) if you want to kinda hide them, or get a glasses case and put regular tampons in them. It's up to you. I like tampax compacts, personally. They're small - I always carry two in my purse - and they're handy.
As for what you do if you get it during school, I'd keep a bunch of tampons and pads in your locker (like in some sort of opaque case so no one will notice) and that way you can run to your locker, grab a tampon or a pad, and change it, etc. The gym bag also works if you keep it with you all the time. Otherwise, definitely have something in your locker at the very least.
Or something else I just thoguht of - If you have a trapper keeper/binder/whatever, and a pencil case in it, you can keep a tampax compact tampon in there and no one will have any idea whatsoever. Be creative! There are a lot of ways to fix this.
I hope this helps!

you can put them 1 in a pocket. as for how long...it can be there 8 hours but after around 4 i would be concerned about leaks. keep in in your gym bag or in a pocket in your backpack. <3

if you carry your backpack around school, maybe you should put it in there. but you should leave a tampon in for 4-6ish hours. and 5 1/2 hours is okay. and im not sure about the tss but you'd probably get it if you have bacteria or something down there and if you leave it in for too long! so dont leave it in for over 6 hours! hope i helped

Put tampons in you locker, backpack, or gymbag. 5 1/2 hours isn't too long. Just NEVER wear heavy if you don't need it. Tampons usually slip out depending on the brand when they're done. So you should be pretty safe. But check it every once in a while to make sure. I know you don't like purses but if you get one of the Dickies cordoroy (sp?) purses no one would care. But if you don't want to you don't have to. I hope I helped!

Keep tampons and all that crap in your locker, so if you get it in school it's no big deal. Only keep a tampon in for a couple of hours. 5 1/2 might be too long. And the gym bag might be a good idea. Just use a side pocket in your gym bag or keep a smaller big within the bag. You don't HAVE to hide them... it's not like people have never heard of them. Leave them in like 3-4 hours the most.

if your a tomboy then maybe wear a hoodie with a pocket in the front, or go to your locker before.also they usually sell tampons for 25-50 cents in bathrooms. you can keep tampons in for 4-8 hours, but you shouldnt go over 6. so 5 1/2 is fine, as long as the tampon has the right absorbancy for you(dont wear heavey tampons if you dont need them, you could risk getting tss that way)
but remember that tss is really rare so if you leave it in for a long time its prolly gunna be ok.
if your worried someone will see it, use tampax compact, their so small you cant see it if you squeezed it in your hand.
hope it helped<33

Gym bag would work. Anything you can put in your locker where you can get to it. A backpack would work too. I think they make things to carry them in so nobody would know what it was. If you had a glasses case that would work too. Use your imagination! Just keep one or two in your locker tucked away somewhere for emergencies. :)
