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=].
Sima answered Saturday August 4 2007, 2:35 pm: 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.

Erinn_the_bamf answered Saturday August 4 2007, 2:25 pm: 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.
