Sleeping in tampons
I was curious, do many girls sleep in tampons? If you put a new one in right before bed then a new one right when you woke up would that be safe? When I sleep I wear a pad to avoid TSS risks, but since I do not sleep standing up, my period sometimes leaks out on my pj's and sheets which is quite embarressing.
Just curious how many people do it and how safe it is.

I don't sleep with tampons. I never have. My flow is pretty havy and I don't wake up in the middle of the night to change. I know what you mean about the embarressing blood marks on the sheets. Try buying [ overnight ] pads. They are designed to keep you overnight. They are exta long, so you have a less chance of leaking. (Iv actually leaks with one, but like I said, my flow is extreamly heavy).

You should be fine if you put a new one in when you go to bed and a new one in when you wake up. I know alot of girls that do sleep with tampons in, but on the other hand I know girls that sleep with pads on.

If you need some [ helps ] about not leaking with a pad on, drop on in the INBOX, I know some secrets ;]

It is safe to sleep with a tampon in. Just put in a fresh one before bedtime and change it when you wake up. This site has tips for you to reduce chances. It is really very rare. :)

I sleep in my tampon & I have been for couple years. Nothing has happened to me but I guess it's because I'm never really heavy. Once you're laying down, your blood flow isn't as heavy rather than standing up. It's safe to sleep in them but if you're really worried about TSS, you could set up an alarm clock to change it. That might be annoying and I don't think you would really want to do that. I personally think that using pads is less uncomftrable because there's a bigger chance of leaking. What you could do is wear a pad & tampon that way you won't leak. ;]

I sleep in a tampon, changing it right before and right after sleeping. It's safe enough just as long as you change it. If you're heavy then I suggest not wearing one because you might need to change it and end up not waking up. If you still want to wear a pad to sleep in, then move it back further on your undies to prevent leaking.

I am sorry, I don't know how many girls sleep with tampons in. However, I do not think it's safe unless you set an alarm clock to wake you up so you do not have it in for longer then 8 hours. and because 8 hours is the MAXIMUM you should have it in, i would set the alarm clock for even earlier, just to be safe. but personally, i would buy the extra long pads & sleep in those. Always makes super long pads & they also make overnight ones, so buy those (or ask your mom to).

I don't know how many people do this but it really isn't safe. Tampon itself isn't safe.
I really would discourage you to sleep with tampons because it's bad mostly because of TSS.
Do resolve the leaking problem:
Lay a dark colored towel (big thick one) on the bed (you should know where to position it) like a dark red, green, blue or black.
Use the night time big size one and a regular one. Make the regular one go all the way to the back and attach the night one to it so the pad goes all the way from the very front to the very back. This should help with that problem.
