The answer is: no. Wearing one tampon for a whole day is not good and can cause a lot of bacteria to build up. If you don’t change your tampon then it is a perfect place for bacteria to build up. Especially if you live in a hot climate.

Also if you don’t change your tampon regularly it defeats the whole purpose of a tampon. Since a tampon is there to absorb the blood from your vagina. But if your tampon is full and you don’t change it, it wont absorb any more blood and then the idea of the tampon is gone. If your tampon is full and you don’t change it then blood will start to leak onto your underwear and onto your pants. This just makes things totally uncomfortable and embarrassing. Tampons are not made to be worn all day. The idea is that you wear them for a few hours and then change into a new one. When the string on your tampon is all the way filled with blood or if it is almost completely filled then you know that it is time to change your tampon. Sometimes you might be on your period and you forget to bring a tampon with you to work, school or wherever. A tip so that you don’t have to wear the same tampon all day is, put a couple extra tampons in your purse or car.

If you leave your tampon in for a whole day it will also begin to smell very badly and that might scare off those cute boys. Especially when wearing a dress or a skirt the smell of your old tampon can be easily smelled by others. Imagine being around someone that smells like an old bloody tampon…doesn’t sound too pleasant huh? So for your own good and in consideration of others, change you tampon regularly.

    Not to scare anyone, but there is also the risk of TSS (very rare though). Just thought I’d throw that out there as a friends cousin recently experienced this (thankfully she is fine now). Stay safe chicks. x
