hey
it's dry cause you haven't left it in long enough - it should be dark red / red when you take it out. it's gonna be really hard & hurt if you take it out when it's dry.
yes. you can wear it to bed. they say you can keep a tampon in 6-8 hours IF IT'S LIKE, NON-STOP BLOOD FLOW. cause the BLOOD is what can give you an infection.
so you don't have to worry. TSS is really uncommon. so you can keep it in until it's like red.

Like the last person stated you have to be very careful with wearing tampons. You cannot sleep all night in them and need to wear a pad.
This is because you have to change them every 3-4 hours and put a new one in. Like the last poster pointed out this is to help you avoid a serious problem called TSS or Toxic Shock Syndrome.
It's something which I encourage you to Google later as it's a little bit complicated to explain what this disease does to people and how it works.
as long as you are inseting a new tampon every 3-4 hours you should be fine. It should easily come out when you pull the string hanging outside of your body. As long as you follow this advice and read the instruction booklet that came with the box of tampons over again you should get the hang of using them safely.
The problem with the tampon being white and being hard to get out could possibly be because you took it earlier than you were supposed to and didn't give it time to become saturated. That's just an educated guess on my part.
I cannot be 100% certain of a reason but have seen this question asked before and someone told them this was the reason it was white and hurt to get out.

NO! thats how you get tss! if you still have dry tampon wen you take it out then you need a lower absorbency or just wear a panti liner yes it is going to hurt if not fully used or put in wrong !! just get a lower absorbency or wear a panti liner and wen you have a heavier flow then use tampon!!

You have to change your tampon every four hours or so or you're at risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome...which is REALLY serious. So you should try to remove it before bed if possible.
