What tampon should I use when going to bed?

Q: I go to bed around 10pm and wake up at 6:50. Notice that is 50 minutes more than I should leave in my tampon. Is that ok if I leave it in longer? I really don’t know what to do cause if I wear pads I end up with blood on my sheets. What can I do?

A: That’s almost 9 hours with your tampon in.Tampons are made to be worn for 4-8 hours. I wouldn’t wear tampons to bed, that’s risky. You can get overnight pads, they are bigger and will prevent leaks at night. If you’re still worried you can sleep with a towel under your butt so you don’t get any on your sheets.

When I use a tampon for the first time should I consult my doctor first?

Q: I want to use a tampon but my mom won’t let me until I go to the doctor and talk about it with her but i hate awkward conversations and i need to use a tampon what should i do!?!?

A: No, that’s not necessary, however I know your situation.. I am 19, and my mom has never boughten me tampons.. she would rather I wear pads, so I just buy my own tampons. Just talk to your mom and tell her that you found a great website that teaches you all about tampons (how to insert them, how long to wear them, etc. etc.) and that you don’t think it’s necessary to go to the doctor. She might be okay if you tell her you looked into it on your own.
