I'm so confused i heard from a bunch of people that if you wear it for like..8hours (or a night of sleep) thats how you get that toxic schock syndrome or something. But when i asked my sister if she had any extra pads to wear before bed she asked why i would bother with them if i could just use a tampon to bed.
i'm so confused! so are they safe to wear to bed or not??

Just put one in right before you go to bed, and as soon as you wake up, take it out and put another one in. (If you wake up at night to go to the bathroom, change it then)
I'm 22, and I've left some in longer than it says, and I'm okay.
My aunt is a mid-wife and she says... unless it's just very uncomfortable, or you get really bad cramps, or it hurts too much, then take it out. Otherwise your fine.

Yes you can, but it is better to wear a pad to give the tampon use a rest, don't use your tampons on light days or at night.
Tampons causes Toxic Shock Syndrome, I suffered from this at one time.

It's finr to wear one to bed. I do. But when you wake up in the morning you should put on a pad. If you alternate between pads and tampons you lower the risk of getting TSS.

you can wear a tampon to bed if you are bleeding heavy. if you do wear one put a fresh one in right before you go to bed and take it out as soon as you get up in the morning

Hi I believe it is safe but I personally think it is more comfortable to wear a pad to bed. which ever is more comfortable for you but if you are heavy i would wear only a pad not tampon because it would need to be changed quicker than regularly.I hope this helped you out.

You can wear them to be so long as you put in a fresh one right before you go to bed and remove it as soon as you get up in the morning,

TSS is sstill a unsure disease. yes you can wear tampons to bed as long as you don't forget to change them in the morning. wear the lowest absorbancy if you are really concerned about tss

They are okay to wear to bed. Read the pamphlet that comes with them for more information.

it is safe as long as you sleep no longer than 8 hours. if you can't guarantee this, than it is best to not try. toxic shock syndrome will not occur in as little as 8 hours.
