Leaving a tampon in for too long may lead to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a potentially fatal disease. Other risks include bacterial vaginosis (BV) and a yeast infection, both of which cause inflammation of the vagina.

It's generally OK to sleep with a tampon in as long as you do not sleep for more than eight hours.

Make sure to remove the tampon as soon as you wake up. Make sure to insert a clean finger into your vagina to feel around if you can't remember if you took your tampon out.

The tampon can get lodged high up near the cervix (lowermost part of the uterus), the string tucked out of view and out of reach. Read on to learn what can happen if you leave it in for too long and when to see a healthcare provider.
