Tampons or pads while sleeping?

Question

I use tampons during the day but pads at night. I get worried that using tampons at night may make me sick (TSS) what do you use? How do you deal with tampons while sleeping?

Answer

I honestly cannot sleep in just a pad ! It makes me feel gross and like I'm wearing a nappy / sitting in my own blood ! 
Tampons all the way ! But at night I time it so il only use it for 6-8hrs .. Which is what it's suppose to anyway

Answer

I can't stand the feeling of blood on me and it makes it harder for me to sleep so I use tampons. That being said, I usually sleep less than eight hours at a time while on my period. Usually I'll wake up after 6 hours, change my tampon, then go back to sleep until I need to wake up again. I used to have an alarm set for 8 hours after every time I changed my tampon, but I'm a lot less paranoid now lol

Answer

Put a fresh tampon in before you go to sleep and take it out when you wake up. That will not cause any kind of infection or TSS.

Answer

I had this problem for so long, I hated sleeping in pads, but was so paranoid about TSS I would set an alarm for like 2am and get up and change it. I now have a menstrual cup which only needs to be changed every 12 hours so I can sleep with it in and not worry
