Tampons should be changed every 4-6 hours - some tampon companies  say 8 hours to make their products seem more convenient, but that's  too long to wear a tampon and if you â¦can go that long without  leaking you're using too high an absorbency.
â¢ Do not use tampons between periods or for non-menstrual discharge. â¢ Change your tampons every 4 to 8 hours. â¢ Tampons can be worn overnight for up to 8 hours. â¢ Always remove the last tampon at the end of your period.
