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.
1 Super absorbency tampons hold from nine to 12 grams of menstrual blood. Super absorbency tampons provide the extra absorption that some women need the first day or two of menstruation.  Super plus absorbency tampons can absorb between 12 to 15 grams of blood. Some women who experience extra heavy bleeding at the beginning of their periods may need to use super plus absorbency tampons.
