you cant leave it in for more then six hours. I dont know about the sharks tho sorry about that. But i know it wont drip in the water. if you leave it in for a really long time then you have to worry about the tss becuase it is vary rare

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.)

First off, tampons can be in around 4 hrs. Any longer than that and TSS could happen. It is a bit rare though, but just change it every 4 hrs at most. 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.

-hope that helped!♥

You can leave it in for up to 8 hours, but a much longer time can cause tss. 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
