i'm so paranoid about keeping a tampon in for more than 1 hour. i don't know why, but i feel like i'm gonna get TSS or something if i keep it in for like 2 hours or something. yesterday i put one in and i took it out after 30 minutes! what should i do about this?

Or, if you just can't do it, then just go back to pads. [ xWACKYJACKIEx's advice column | Ask xWACKYJACKIEx A Question ]

Well by doing what you are doing by pulling out the tampon after like 30 minutes is a waste of tampons and they arent that cheap , well atleast the ones i buy arent. Ive been using tampons for 3 yrs and nothing has happened to me. Ya i heard about TSS. My boyfriends mom had it , but you cant run around the house being scared all your life about it. Most likely you wont get it so i say just stop worrying. I mean pads are deffently uncomfortable and i hate them. Tampons save me from bleeding through my pants thats the main reason i use them. Everything will be ok , really its nothing to worry about.
