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.
Even if you use 100% cotton tampons, youâre still at risk for TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). If you can stop using tampons completely, you might just find that your period is shorter â sometimes, two days shorter! Tampons are also known to make cramps worse, so if you suffer from hellish ones, consider ditching âem.
