Many women prefer sleeping with tampon at night instead of pads; it feels more comfortable and offers reliable protection. Nevertheless, it is important to know that sleeping with a tampon can also carry risks, especially if you keep the tampon in for more than 8 hours. In this blog, we explain whether it is safe to sleep with a tampon, the risks involved, and what safe alternatives such as Beppy tampons or Beppy menstrual underwear you can use for a comfortable and worry-free night.
Sleeping with tampon, is it safe?
The short answer: yes, but preferably not. You can sleep with a tampon, provided you keep it in for no longer than 8 hours, and actually shorter is even better. During the night, however, many women wear their tampon longer than the recommended time, which poses risks. This can lead to the growth of bacteria due to the warm, moist environment in the vagina. When these bacteria multiply, they can produce toxins that increase the risk of the toxic shock syndrome (TSS) increase, a rare but serious infection.
Advice: Use a new tampon just before bedtime and replace it as soon as you wake up. Or choose a safer alternative such as Beppy tampons or Beppy menstrual underwear, which are specially designed for comfortable and hygienic nighttime use.
