Tampons
Okay, so im 19 years old, and i just started using Tampons today...weird i know. But ive always been kinda freaked out about shoving a thing up inside of me. Dont get me wrong, i love sex, its just doing it myself that freaks me out.
So, i put one in this morning, and that went find, other than my obvious nervousness. BUT Im just curious, how long should i leave one in? Is there a way to tell?
And when i took it out and put a new one in there was no blood on the applicator. Like...does it absorb all the blood on the way out?
Also, is it okay to sleep with one in? I know u can get TSS and stuff, but any horror stories? Id really rather not use a Pad to sleep anymore. They just make me feel disgusting. Especially now that i live with my boyfriend.
Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Omg! That lady is DUMB! DO NOT ever leave a tampon in more than 5 hours. A tampon is good for 3-5 hours. You leave them in much longer, you'll probably bleed through.

I believe tampons are supposed to be left in about six to eight hours as a general rule. The instructions that came with the tampons should say. I don't like them myself because, until you take them out, you can't tell whether they're full or not -- and then if it turns out they're still useable, you can't put them back in.

im 13 and yes its ok to sleep with one in but you shouldnt have it in for more than 24 hours or you may get a vaginal infection and that wont be pretty. no it doesnt abosrb all the blood on the way out usually. unless its a different kind than i know of.

you can leave a tampon in for approximately 4 hours. but sometimes if you leave them in that long (depending on your flow) you may still leak and make a yucky mess. you must learn with trial and error how long to leave one in. yes you can sleep with one in, it won't hurt you just make sure you remove it first thing in the morning. Good Luck!

Read the directions that came with the tampons. They usually say you can leave them in for up to 8 hours, but it's fine to sleep with one in. When you go to the bathroom, tug on the string. If it slides out, put in a new one. If it resists, leave it in for a few more hours.
