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.
But weâll get to that later. The first thing you need to do is try to figure out why your period is so heavy. Honestly, some girls just have a heavy flow and it doesnât mean that anything weird is going on. But before you decide that thatâs just how your period is, talk to your doctor about it. Take note of how often you have to change your tampon or pad, how long itâs really heavy for and if there is any fluctuation and then talk to your doctor about it to make sure everything is okay.
