Can you wear tampons overnight?

Answer 1

Yes, but only if you just sleep 8 hours. Because you can only keep a tampon in for 8 hours tops.

Answer 2

Yes you can. You actually can wear them up to 12 hours depending on how much you bleed and the type of tampon you use, e.g. super, regular, lite, etc.. Altough it isnt recommended to wear for that long you wont die, unless you have signs of tss a.k.a toxic shock syndrom, in that case you shouldnt wear tampons at all. For info on if you have it, read the little paper inside you tampon box.

Answer 3

you could wear them, but not for too long. the super tampons are riskier. that toxic shock syndrome is really rare you should actually worry about getting a urinary tract infection. its actually happened to me, i slept with a super tampon and as soon as i woke up i knew i had UTI cuz of the symptoms. you get it from the bacteria that builds up while the tampon is in ur vagina. i think its better to stick with maxi pads, so theres oxygen flowing in there

Answer 4

you can as long as you change them every 8 hours. i know most girls just use pads but personally i wear tampons over night which means i can only sleep in 8 hour shifts, its sorta annoying but its better then using a pad since i move around a lot when i sleep and i don't like waking up to blood all over me and my bed..

Answer 5

if you are worried about sleeping over 8 hours (like on the weekends), what i do is wear a pad with the tampon in case blood leaks out of it.

Answer 6

Yes you can, but I wouldnt suggest it. If you were to sleep longer than 8 hours you will be at risk for getting Toxic Shock Syndrom, or you can just bleed to much and have a big mess.

Answer 8

I wouldn't. That was the first thing my mom ever told me about tampons: never wear them at night.

Answer 9

u can, but i would strongly NOT reccomend it! wear pads at ntie! by wearing tampons overnite, ur putting urself at risk for TSS (toxic shock syndorme). u shouldn't leave a tampon in for more than 4 hours!

Answer 10

Yes but a pad might be better especially if sleeping more than 8 hours you can get toxic shock syndrome.
