tampons


Question Posted Saturday August 4 2007, 12:35 pm

How long do you personally keep a tampon in? Like how many hours before you have to change? Also, about how many do you go threw in an average day? Because it seems like i'm constantly changing mine, and its annoying. This is for girls obviously, lol=].

it depends on what brand of tampon your wearing.
it always should say how many hours you should keep it in for either on the box or the directions.
most of the time its from 6-8 hours though.

=] hope i helped.

usually after 5/6 hours, or basically change it every time you go to the bathroom.

at nights, put one in, but also use a pad, so that it doesn't leak.=]

I change mine when it starts leaking too much, or after 5/6 hours. If it leaks a little, I just use a pad or a pantyliner along with the tampon. I would not recommend keeping it longer than 8, you could develop TSS. (Toxic Shock Syndrome). So just change it often, and don't keep it in longer than 7 hours at the most.

No more than 8 hours but i think that is really pushing it so i would change every 3-6 hours.

I change it every 4 hours. On the box it says 4-8, but personally, I think 8 is unsafe. I prefer pads so I only really use 2 tampons a day is I'm swimming or something. However, you would probably go through about 6 a day.

Some people change them everytime they use the bathroom. But that being said, you shouldn't keep them in longer than 4 hours. I change mine every 4 hours or so.
