I don't recommend tampons. Menstrual cups are healthier and hold more.

Screw tampons and get a menstrual cup. You won't gave to worry about anything.

If you wear tampons while you sleep, try to change it in the middle of the night. You should never wear tampons longer than 8 hours (I usually change mine after 6, and I don't have an extremely heavy flow) or you could get TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome).

Tampons are approved for overnight use (check any tampon site) and TSS is rare and doesn't just come from wearing a tampon for x amount of time

Kotex tampons are great and if your period is heavier get the super or the extra super size from them. Also make sure when you get Kotex tampons it says plastic applicator on the package, goes in much smoother

Yep, Girl you need to check out the ‘Menstrual Cup’. I’m 45 and so dark that I’d never even heard of them until I was 40. Changed my life! Google ‘Diva Cup’. You’re welcome!!
