ok so i looked for topics on tampons but none really answered what i was looking for. So. You know how on the box when it says don't wear a tampon for more then like 6-8 hours? does that mean one tampon or a tampon throughout the whole day.

ie: i put a tampon in at lets say 6 am and then i take it out at uh ( haha im counting)..noon which is approx 6 hours

does that mean i can't wear anymore tampons for the whole day? or does it mean that you start another 6-8 hours with another tampon.. sorry if this is confusing but im confusing myself..

start another

I don't use em. But it sounds like you just have to change them every so often. I mean. You don't wanna leave it in for like. A day.

6-8 hours at a time for ONE.

Meaning dont leave it in for 9 hours. Change before then.

yea, what they said. i usually just go to four hours. its already pretty... soaked? by then :DD

yeah leave it in for 6-8 hours then change it and put another one in for 6-8.

yeah, you change a tampon every 6-8 hours. you can wear more than one a day :p

No, that just means when you take that one out, you put in a new one

yup. just dont leave the same one in longer than 8 hours.

you really thought that you could only use one tampon a day? good god, why would they be so cheap and come like 20 a box?

start another one....lol

^^ haha thanks you guys i get it now. i also asked one of my friends.. haha man i felt stupid but i get it now thanks

i barely use tampons but when i do i take it out every 4 hours, no more than 5 because i don't trust the 8 hour thing. why leave it in so long anyways?

you can wear it 6-8 hours depending on the diff companies and diff type of tampons, always check first and don't assume

I leave my tampon in over night and meaning I tend to enjoy sleeping in, I don't change it until I wake up which may mean 10 or 11 hours =P It's totally fine. As long as the tampon isn't left in for more than 24 hours then it should be just fine. You may develope infections, etc., if left in for to long of a period of time and it also depends on the types of tampons you are using. After removing the tampon and if you are still on your period, then place a new one in. Do not constantly change your tampon on the hour because it's not healthy.
