can you?
can you wear a tampon while you sleep?
I have a really heavy flow and already had a bad leak while I was sleeping and I don't want to ruin my clothes. I can set my alarm clock and make sure I wake up before having it in eight hours.
Oh and I had a tampon in and a pad underneath and I still got allot of blood on the pad. Did I do something wrong when I put the tampon in?

I honestly wouldn't risk it. You can try to use heavy overnight pads. Sleep on a towel. If you buy underwear that you really don't want to get ruined and gross, go out to like WalMart and get a cheap pack of underwear to wear to bed, so that you're not staining and destroying your other underwear. If you bleed through, make sure to soak your clothes in cold water right away.

If you have a very heavy flow you are better off to use a tampon and a pad when sleeping and to sleep on a towel. this should protect your sheets. Now the concern regarding the length of time a tampon should remain inside you raises questions about TSS (toxic shock syndrome) read the instructions that come with your tampon (they are all a little different) and see how long a time period they suggest. If you find that your soaking a tampon while you sleep I would recommend using a large wad of toilet paper or paper towels. When you use a tampon you are inhibiting the flow of blood out of your vagina, if the tampon is not absorbing the fluid fast enough then it is pooling inside of you. As the cells in the fluid die they become toxic if left too long in your body this can cause serious and life threatening illness.

I do. Just be careful not to sleep over 9 hours.
It's really 8, but the extra hour doesn't do anything.
You probably need a bigger tampon. Make sure you are using the correct size. Try super.
