I DONT HAVE ANY WAY TO GET TO A STORE

Answer 1

Wear the tampon with a panty liner.......Before you go to bed put a dark colored towel down across your bed so that if you leak if won`t stain your sheets!!

***Change your tampon RIGHT before you go to sleep and you should be ok,I do it ALL the time***

Answer 2

Just use a tampon with a pantiliner. If you are really worried about going longer than 8 hours, drink a bunch of water so you will wake up at night and change it. I wouldn't worry about it though. Just don't do it all the time.

Answer 3

its ok to wear a tampon bc if ur that worried about it ur body will atomatically wake u up when you feel that it needs to be changed.
i do this all the time and i only use pantiliners i hate pads.
your body is very responsive so if you wear one ull most likey leak a little so wear some period underwear and just to be safe put a towel on ur bed so it dsnt leak onto ur sheets.
also its ok if u sleep through the 8 hours as long as u take it out right when u get up.
hopefully this helped a little.

Answer 4

Use a tampon and pantyliner.

So you can't call someone up for a favor? Where are your parents?

I would use a tampon and get up at night and change it again, especially if its heavy.

Tomorrow, buy plenty of pads/tampons so next time you have your period you don't run out.

Answer 5

Wear black sleep pants so if you leak it won't stain, and you can sleep in a tampon, just wake up to change it. Too bad you don't have a DivaCup.

Answer 6

Use a wad of toilet paper, or cut a towel.

In grade school, they always told us that if we got our periods, to make a pad out of toilet paper and then go to the nurse. haha

Good luck! A towel is your best bet.

Answer 7

As in the old days, small towels. Just use small face towels and soak them the next morning or chuck it out and buy new ones.

Answer 8

you may sleep in tampons, yet once you awaken to pee, replace it. attempt to no longer pass over 8 hours, yet do no longer complication in case you do. that's ok each as quickly as in awhile. i could probable positioned a folded paper towel on your underclothes for leakage.

Answer 9

you could take toliet paper and wrap it around the edges of the panties not like stuff it there though cuz itll move when youre sleeping so just pile it around there and hope for the best!
