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.
Remove the tampon when you're ready. Though you should remove a tampon every 6 to 8 hours at the longest, you may find that you will need to remove your tampon sooner if you're having a heavy flow. It's important to check on it every hour or two, especially when you're using tampons for the first time.
