If I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?

So I prefer tampons over pads, but I have been worried that I could get TSS by wearing tampons all day If I keep changing them every 4-8 hours is it safe?If I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?You won't get TSS from wearing tampons (note the s) all day. However, leaving one tampon in for more than 8 hours increases your risks. Be sure to change it every 4-6 hours.If I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?Yep. 4 to 6 hours is recommended.If I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?Make sure you change it often. I would say at least every 4 hours (no longer than that).If I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?to honestly get TSS, youd have to leave it in for days. so don't worry about it :)If I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?you're more likely to get TSS from strep throat than tampons, it's mostly just something people who are against tampons(and most likely sticking anythign at all in their vaginas) who bring it upIf I keep changing tampon, is it okay to wear it all day?Specialists don't really agree over that, but my mom (who is a doctor) says that as long as you don't leave the same one in too long (4-8 hours, as you said) it'll be fine. Just make sure that you don't sleep with one, because you could sleep too much and leave it in too long.
