Toxic Shock Syndrome...It's actually like 7 hrs depending on the brand but it is VERYY dangerous...you can even die from it...its basically a veryyyy high fever and weary and very dangerous and its from leaving a tampon in too long. If you want to use a tampon make sure you remove it every like 3-4 hours just to be safe.

It stands for Toxic Shock Syndrom and you get it if you leave your tampon in for more than 6 or 8 hours. You get Flu like symptoms and eventually it can be deadly..but I wouldnt really worry tooo much about it..jsut be careful

Toxic Shock Syndrome. Basically the fibers in the tampon stay in the vagina and cause an infection. Actually its 8 hours but I also recomend changing it every 4 or 5 hours to stay clean. You can learn more about TSS on the instruction thingy in the tampon box too. K hun ? Thanks bye.

TSS is Toxic Shock Syndrome...it's where germs start to live in the tampon and can infect you. It's actually EXTREMELY rare, but because a few people have gotten it they have to put warnings on boxes or else the tampon companies could be sued. It is good to change your tampon quite regularly...but if you leave it in for 6 hours you won't die. In fact in most cases you can wear them to bed and be fine.
I really wouldn't worry about TSS because it is so rare, pass on this info to your friend too. Hope I helped:)

There is a kind of bacteria that loves your period. If you wear a tampon for too long, that bacteria multiplies really badly and it infects you. If it touches your ovaries it can cause even worse damage, and TSS stands for Toxic Shock Syndrome.
