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.
When you first start using tampons, you won't know when it's ready to be taken out. In a few hours, take it out by pulling gently on the string with your muscles relaxed. Soon you'll get to where you can feel the difference between one that's full and one that isn't.
