I got my period after like 4 months of not having it ....it was light at first and it just got a little more heavy. My first question is how long can i leave a tampon in and Should i be worried about it dripping into the ocean and attracting sharks. And should i be worried about tss or what ever??? Thanks!!
clouded_bluee answered Sunday May 6 2007, 3:17 pm: you can leave a tampon in up to 8 hours. personally, I think they should be in 4 to 6. its healthier and if you have a heavy flow they can't stay in for really long anyways. its also unhealthy to sleep in tampons, so try not too. haha and no don't worry about attracting sharks. you don't have to worry about TSS unless you, don't change them often enough, put tampons in when you are off your period, you keep it in for days, or you put 2 tampons in at a time (you forget to take the old one out and put a new one in.)

Some boxes say 6 hrs, but I think that's a little too much. About the ocean, you probably shouldn't worry about that. People don't usually go out that far anyway. Plus, the ocean is huge & there would need to be lots of it.

As for the sharks, if you are close enough to shore, then you wont have to worry. Maybe try a pad too. I know it will get wet, but if any does drip out, it will catch it. Hope I helped<3 [ ASAPcamille's advice column | Ask ASAPcamille A Question ]
